Having purchased the Taimodels EGCC.  Is it worth paying out again for the new Inibuilds version for MSFS2024 do you think?  I have been very happy with the Taimodels one and it performs very nicely for me.

I don't think so, but whatever floats your boat to spend money for the same thing, then go for it. I'm using the TAI scenery, and it works great. I'm not really into what's inside a terminal building, just parking my aircraft and moving on.

I would listen to Rob and Benny personally.

I will absolutely be purchasing this for 2024.  I guess "it floats my boat?"

Yes, iniBuilds is better and it’s native 2024 so you will not get as many LOD issues (objects fading popup up that should be visible).  Got a video recorded, just need to upload.  If you max everything out in graphic settings and at night with heaving cloud/rain and 100% realistic AI traffic, you will get an FPS hit … so it is harder on FPS than TAIMODELS.

It’s a lot more detailed as you’d expect and a little more demanding on performance. I found the Maccosim perfectly acceptable for its day, especially if I recall it was a pretty early 2020 add-on airport release.

This ini version has the new terminal all modelled, along with the AVP in some detail and Concorde lights up in purple at night so there’s plenty of attention been paid to it. Overall I’d recommend.

Yet to hear from anyone who has purchased both and doesn't recommend it  or says it's not worth it...   

So I guess there are a few floating boats or boats floating, whatever you prefer.

that's not the only thing different, the ini builds one has the new terminal extension and UpToDate layout.

Day test, will upload night test later today:
