I assume KMSP has no VDGS in real life? Can't find it in the charts.

The are the #1 developer, and I have been simming since 1998.  Their airports are optimized and beautiful gorgeous scenery. I run their airports such as KDEN, KIAD. and  KMSP, no F SUTTERS. smooth as butter, on the other hand, inibuilds KJFK  even with the updates, is a STUTTER shoiw.

Seconded. Special mention for inibuilds KLAX also. Horrible performance even with all the bells & whistles turned off. I'm loathe to complain about the hard work these people put in but sometimes they go overboard with interiors and it takes away from the overall performance.

Leave that stuff for Passenger Simulator imo.

Incorrect.

Here are two developers discussing the performance impact of interiors:

Look at these pics with beautifully smooth curves, lots of individual models and 3D objects and tell me interiors are the performance-harming issue.

Whatever the cause, I've completely stopped flying in there because the performance was that bad. There are developers who can produce large scale airports with workable performance, I don't understand enough about polygons and LOD parameters but I'd be interested to know why some studios make their airports work in terms of performance and others can't. EHAM isn't exactly a barren wasteground compared to LAX and it performs fine for me.

that you can turn off in the inibuilds downloader and performance is still poor unfortunately. 😕

Anyone else having a problem with FB KMSP not working in MSFS, I have installed some new Airports recently then went to fly out of KMSP only to find the boring default airport is back.
I have tried uninstalling then reinstalling it with no luck via Contrail app, I also tried clearing the rolling cache with no luck either, also it does show as installed in the Content manage in MSFS.

Does anyone else have any ideas as to what could be causing this ?

If you're absolutely 100% that KMSP is still correctly in your community folder and you do not have another mod for that area, you could try to delete the scenery index cache files for MSFS. Google it.
