iniBuilds, known for their high-quality airliners and sceneries for Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) has released enhanced versions of their Ibiza and Palm Springs airport sceneries to be compatible with MSFS 2024. These upgraded versions, which make use of various improvements the new simulator brought to addon developers, are now available as standalone versions and mark the beginning of sceneries becoming optimized for MSFS 2024.
Ibiza Airport (LEIB): Gateway to the Balearic Islands
Located in the heart of the Mediterranean, Ibiza Airport (LEIB) serves as a hub connecting the Balearic Islands with mainland Spain and many other major European destinations. The airfield was initially established as a military airstrip during the Spanish Civil War but was later converted for civil use. Being a popular holiday destination, the airport now handles almost 9 million passengers per year (2023). Over 45 airlines like Vueling, British Airways, and Iberia operate at this hub with aircraft like the Airbus A320 or the E190.
With the release of the enhanced Ibiza scenery, they made use of various MSFS 2024 exclusive features. Over its 2020 predecessor, the airport now features a fully optimized terminal interior, with authentic advertisements, and unique details that capture the spirit of Ibiza. Improved night lighting across the terminal, apron, and landside areas provides an immersive experience for those who land there in the darkness. High-definition textures for runways and aprons, along with thousands of hand-placed vehicles and ground objects are used to achieve the goal of bringing the closest replica of this airport.
Palm Springs Airport (KPSP): An Oasis in California
Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) is located in the Coachella Valley of Southern California, surrounded by the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains. It serves as a gateway to the desert resorts of Palm Springs and other popular destinations in the region. The airport is served by major airlines, including American Airlines, Delta, Southwest, Alaska Airlines, and United, offering both regional short-haul flights to destinations across North America and some seasonal international routes.
Just like the Ibiza scenery, iniBuilds’ Enhanced Palm Springs takes full advantage of MSFS 2024’s capabilities too. The airport layout has been updated to reflect its current real-world state, and new high-resolution ground textures have been applied throughout. Dynamic airport lighting and even more detailed recreations of buildings, vegetation, and ground clutter ensure an authentic flying experience. Whether arriving in daylight or under the desert night sky, the enhancements make the Palm Springs Airport an eyecatcher for every flight simmer seeking the best looks for their simulator.
