iniBuilds finishes the week with a bunch of updates for a number of products including New York‘s JFK Airport, Buffalo Niagara Aiport, and also a few other third-party airports.
Starting with John F Kennedy Airport in New York, the new update focuses on performance for those on lower-end systems. Additional LOD textures and models have been added to further refine performance for users. There are also fixes across the board, including parallax flickering, bumps in the runway and taxiway and other improvements. There are also new taxiway lines and ramp parking at terminal 8. You can get v1.1.0 now from the iniManager. Full changelog below.
Buffalo Niagara Airport (KBUF) has also been updated to version 1.1.0, which saw a number of fixes and improvements. New additions include new helipads, the option to disable static aircraft and ground service equipment. There are also some fixes to the interior texturing and approach lights on active runways. You can get the new update via the iniManager.
Another new update comes from third-party developer iBlueYonder and their Dallas Love Field Airport on Microsoft Flight Simulator. They have resized the textures from 4k to 2k in order to improve performance, and added a new interior to the NetJets bizjet hangar, along with new hangar doors that trigger when approached. Furthermore, the taxiway signage has been corrected and new ground poly textures have been added.
Finally, the iniManager itself has been updated to contain GSX Profile integration with RW Profiles. This now means it is a one-stop-shop for all GSX profiles with a number of airports.
