Addons for Xbox to increase the realism

Inibuilds what?

@Majorlag9496 I was referring to the Inibuilds A320Neo

Hey, the Inibuilds a320neo is a free aircraft, developed in collaboration with Microsoft. Yo can already test it in the SIM UPDATE 15 Public Beta of the Sim. Or you wait until the 30th of march, where SIM UPDATE 15 is expected to release, alongside this aircraft! Have fun!

To install the Beta: Download the Xbox Insider App on your Xbox, directly via the Microsoft Store, then in this App: go to previews, Microsoft Flight Simulator Preview, Join

That’s a free plane that is included stock in the sim in SU 15. It is available to beta testers right now.

After joined, you MUST fully restart your Xbox to let the simulator install the new update.

Did you mean the 30th of April? March has already past.

Yeah, sorry😅

@Blumentopf7761 just for confirmation, I believe that the release of the Inibuilds A320NX will come with SU15, and was NOT released on April 30th?

That is indeed the current plan.

Yeah, that’s right! I meant with SU15, on the 30th of April! But NOW the release is targeted for 7 May, so tomorrow! And it seems it’s still in that target, so fingers crossed!

SU15 isn’t ready for prime time yet. At least another beta release and a few days of testing away. Just check out the Xbox and PC performance and stability threads if you want to keep up with the state of play.

For su15 to release tomorrow??

Dont think so. Its not ready.

Specially if you are on Xbox.

Bridges are one of the biggest realism breakers so you might want to look at the rkbridger packs

Those look great. Thanks for the heads up. But can he get them for Xbox?
I looked at them, and they all said:

Windows 10 or later
Ability to unzip file and locate in Community Folder or your normal mod folder.

If it’s not on MSFS marketplace then you can’t use them

Xbox is a tricky one as some of the addons to increase realism (airport ground textures, enhanced airport lights, highly detailed 3rd party airports) cause a whole load of issues with stuttering, CTDs and black screens. Hoping that sim update 15 will make those more stable and indications from the beta are that it might

I am using the Zinertek ground textures for quite some time, and did not notice any performance impact on Series X. The default aiports look so much better (dirty, more variation, cracks).

The enhanced airport lights on the other side are a FPS killer with complex airports.

I was using the Zinertek ground textures for ages as it looks really great but then sim update 13 dropped. Everyone raves about that update but for some reason it turned my sim into a horrible lag-fest where I had to uninstall everything to make it flyable and that was one of the worst contributors to it. I am really hoping that SU15 makes it usable again for me

Enhanced airport lights also looks so good but as soon as you go anywhere with more than one runway it becomes a slideshow which is a huge shame
