December 18, 2025Dec 18 Looks like we are finally getting a solid DFW! About time…. https://forum.inibuilds.com/topic/34992-inibuilds-scenery-development-update-december-2025 Announcing: iniBuilds Dallas Fort Worth (KDFW) Premium for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024! Which moves us nicely on to today's main topic, we are incredibly excited to formally announce our next major US project. We are heading to Texas to bring you Dallas / Fort Worth (KDFW)! This is a project we have been wanting to tackle for a long time. As one of the busiest airports in the world by aircraft movements, recreating the scale and complexity of Dallas is no small job. Work has been quietly underway behind the scenes for months, ranging from detailed ground poly work to getting the unique architecture of the terminals correct. We are applying all of our updated techniques to Dallas. This includes a heavy focus on performance optimization without sacrificing the visual fidelity of the enormous terminal areas & aprons. The scenery team has been actively working on adapting our workflow to handle a hub of this size. As Greg, Head of Scenery explains, the journey to Dallas actually began with the challenges we tackled earlier this year: "It’s been an exciting and busy 2025 in the scenery department. Adopting MSFS2024 as our core development platform gave us new opportunities to introduce levels of detail and quality previously not possible. We saw the fruits of this labor recently with our Manchester release. It was an amazing experience to have so much direct input from the teams on-site, resulting in the most accurate layout representation we’ve released so far. That experience paved the way for what came next. Early in 2025, we had a commercial opportunity to work on Dallas Fort Worth. We jumped at the chance to produce what will be, by far, the largest project we’ve ever done. Thanks to that opportunity, we procured an incredible amount of on-site reference material, allowing for an incredibly faithful recreation. Of course, such an iconic airport wouldn’t be much fun if it didn’t run well, so we’ve kept performance at the core of everything. Our testing team is hard at work ironing out any kinks, and so far the results have been stellar."

December 18, 2025Dec 18 I have been wondering what airport would be next for Ini. DFW is a great choice. Maybe ORD some time in the future?

December 18, 2025Dec 18 I mean I love flightbeam and all, but progress seems very gradual to say the least. I suppose Ini wouldn’t take the risk though even though they would almost certainly beat them to market. But for now, looking forward to DFW.

Granted the Imaginesim came out around the same time my last PC exploded, but I've tried flying in there a few times and get absolutely horrendous performance, I'm not expecting much better with ini but with Imaginesim we know we're not getting supported updates and if there's a memory leak it could go unaddressed for years. Will probably pick this one up, switching to 2024 finally anyways.

December 18, 2025Dec 18 Lol I bought the imagine sim one and never installed it even once. Thank you for the best Christmas present one could ask for inibuilds!! Just need ORD!
December 18, 2025Dec 18 Great news, finally after over 5 years we get DFW. I agree ORD would be a good option for the next one from ini, the FSDT one is basically ok but really no where near 2024 standards. MSFS 2024.

I hope an developer with a good reputation for regular updates decides to make KORD. Marco D'Agostino
