Airports made for 2024

Featured Replies

Hello every body

it seems that Airports made/compiled  with the SDK of 2024 runs perfectly smooth.

Airports from 2020 not been build/compiled with the 2024 SDK and used in 2024 are not good for the FPS and also stutters.

Example Ibiza 2024  from Inibuild runs very.good.

No, an airport won't run better just because it has been compiled with the MSFS 2024, that's not enough. If that airport runs well, it simply means it's well optimized in general, and I'm sure you'll see plenty of badly optimized and stuttering sceneries even if they are compiled with the MSFS 2024 SDK.

In order to see a real improvement, the airport (but this applies to planes too) should be completely remodeled using a new way to build large models like terminals, which use sort of a "cascading LODs", which are independent LOD levels for sections and sub-section of the airport. this might potentially offer lots of room for fps improvement, or more detail at the same fps. But this requires lots of effort, so expect to be reserved to paid updates or possibly completely new remakes.

The new thing about MSFS 2024, is if you want to build a "native" airport, the LOD levels are now enforced, so it forces the developer to pay attention to that, that might be a reason why you found that airport to be better: it forced the developer to do multiple LOD levels, where in the 2020 version, they were only enforced on Xbox, so not many paid too much attention to it.

Yup...I made a freeware airport for 2020 but it was my first time building custom 3D models and did not use LOD's.  I wanted to make some changes and recompile for 2024 but all my buildings were disappearing.  It was my own fault and it was a small airport that really did not need LOD's.  I guess I need to study how to do LOD's for the next one!  The 2020 version works fine in 2024 but it has some anomalies since I had added trees and some terrain masking so it is just some minor visual issues.
