Togalock interview with IniBuilds CEO, Ubaid (video)

If you don’t want to watch the video, the key takeaways are:

  1. A220 and A380 coming this summer (the A220 first), plus KORD
  2. A “holiday destination” airport will soon be announced, for release this summer
  3. A very strong hint that they’re working on a Boeing aircraft
  4. A French airport is in the works

Re the last two, let the guessing begin…

Wonder what Boeing aircraft is in the works?

Hello KORD, that could be great.

Hmm, Boeing speculation. Maybe a 767?

Hope we’ll get at least one aircraft on ps5

I’m hoping for MDPC as the holiday destination.
Also wishing on a Boeing 717.
The French airport is hopefully CDG, but after AS failed to get access I doubt iniBuilds can.

That’s my guess, since the Bluebird version is likely still years away.

I suspect it will be Europe, since the Caribbean isn’t really a summer destination (for Europeans, anyway). I also suspect it’ll be another by Jakub.

I think Nice is more likely but you never know…

You’re probably right, but European holiday destinations have gotten so much attention and the Caribbean is practically neglected… I mean I can count the number of good-quality airports in the Caribbean.

JustSim’s Nice is really not bad, and in my opinion most simmers are satisfied with it and wouldn’t shell out another 20-30 euros for a 2024-native version, or would they..? I’m really not a fan of duplicating airports, unless the original version is really poor.

Given what Ubaid mentioned specifically about duplicating old or mediocre airports, I wouldn’t be surprised it it turned out to be Nice. Mind you, I wouldn’t be any more surprised if it is de Gaulle. Good to see him laud the work of another dev — he practically said out loud that they wouldn’t be remaking any of MK Studios’ more recent airports.

I think we all know the kind of devs he was referring to.

I’ve had a good think as to what the “holiday destination” could be and I think LMML is a likely candidate. Ripe for Ini and is one of the most requested airports, in spite of the existence of the (ageing) JustSim version.

Seems the Boeing Ini are working on is the 707.

That’s a disappointment. At least for me. So many other planes the community is asking for.
