thats who i was thinking of.

Id take an inibuilds burger king infested terminal one over a PES one any day of the week

That is a surprising comment, Pete. I thought that you have always been critical of IniBuilds with respect to performance. Do you not like Pilot Experience Sim? I do not know if they will be able to pull off what is a massive project for them, but I still feel for them, considering that they are an IniBuilds partner. That just does not sit well with me.

It's a free market i guess . I don't think there is any exclusivity if your products are sold in the Inibuilds store.

Like Chris said, I feel for PESim. I hope the additional competition has motivated them to produce an outstanding LFPG.They still have the advantage but Inibuilds will be quick to put this one out.

Not only are the detail and accuracy going to be key as to which one becomes the market place favourite, but also on the performance front too.

Here's a question for ya...

If you were PESim right now, how would you try and differentiate your LFPG product against the competition? Hopefully it doesn't come down to used Burger wrappers that can be found on the floor of the terminal building for adding extra realism!!

My pity towards PEsim is somewhat limited. They announced LFPG two years ago at this point, and while I understand that it’s a major undertaking, I still think you can’t reasonably expect exclusivity for that length of time for one of the most important missing airports in Europe. And their reaction/statement regarding Aerosoft giving up on LFPG wasn’t exactly classy either.

They may well have access to details that no other developer will be able to obtain, but whether that will be enough to make a difference is anyone's guess.

To be fair, RJTT has been under development by Technobrain far longer (at least mid-2023) and nobody else has stepped up to the plate. Getting authentic sources can be a very real issue for developers.

The important parts (for me at least) are publicly available. Aprons, taxiways and runways layout and markings are all on Google Maps in hi-res with 2026 data. As for roads, terminals, signage and the many other buildings around the place Google Streetview can take you most of the way.
PEsim may have more close-up views of some buildings, but I doubt that they have the resources (and talent?) that IniBuilds have. When it comes to the interiors the published screenshots show that IniBuilds have at least some information already.

Finally an iniBuilds scenery that performs well for me!

I bought it yesterday. It’s the best FOS of any that I own by them and I own maybe nine or so.

FOS??

This is where I'm at too. I've been waiting for 6 years at this point for a high quality LFPG. 2 years is more than enough time to build something high quality. The fact that there "response" was posting just WIP shots of the ground markings and ATC tower tells me there are still a long ways off as well.

I’m very interested in getting Malta. Can anyone comment on the satellite image quality surrounding the airport?

The newer Inibuilds optimsed for ms2024 native scenery is better than PES proformance wise in my opinion

I flew in there from HESH, did a RNAV approach in the IFly max8. Very nice airport and scenery around the island. I never been there but I have Goggle earth pro to verify, and it looks very close to the real thing.
