iniScene’s largest airport yet: Heathrow International (EGLL) for Microsoft Flight Simulator. As the major beating heart of London’s aviation scene, and the third busiest airport in the world, it’s an essential airport for any seasoned flight simmer.

The airport is known for being the home of the UK’s flag carrier British Airways and the primary operating base of Virgin Atlantic. Being used by ov … read moreer 80 airlines and with flights to over 180 destinations, it’s safe to say there are a plethora of routes to keep you amused.

Heathrow’s impressive area covers over 12 sq/km of area in the simulator. To compliment that, it features custom taxi signs, realistic terminals, custom ground service equipment and plenty of points of interest and surrounding buildings to provide a redefined level of realism plus many more features.

Features:

• 80+ custom modelled and textured POIs and buildings in and out of the airport boundary with accurate PBR texturing
• 10,000+ custom iniScene car models scattered throughout parking lots outside of the airport boundary
• Aggressive performance saving methods featuring LOD model optimization (Level of Detail) and meticulous optimization where possible throughout the scenery
• 5 accurately-placed jetway variations with realistic PBR texturing and animations
• Hand-made ground polygons featuring custom decals, dirt, taxi lines and ground markings
• Over 430 custom made and hand placed taxi signs dotted throughout the airfield as in the real world
• Main airport landsides with ground markings and lighting faithfully re-created
• British Airways Concorde G-BOAB faithfully recreated and on-display before runway 27L
• Over 2,500 individually placed accurately colour toned airport lights scattered around the terminals
• Accurate logos and real-world decals scattered throughout the airport to promote a true to life feeling
• Custom-created, accurate and known landside points of interest such as the landmark Emirates A380 and Turkish Airlines roundabouts
• Hand-corrected, colour accurate ortho imagery
• Hand-placed bespoke ground service equipment at each gate featuring over 2,000+ containers, 2,000+ cargo dollies and a plethora of various static equipment
• Animated points of interest including radio towers and construction cranes

    12700F & 4070Ti & RAM64
    + World Up Brit + this scen…
    = 3-5 fps on approach…
    But when you come over the city, the view is crazy. I missed all the speed reductions just by looking at the picture.
    But in the area of ​​3-4 miles from the port, the FPS dropped to the point where it was impossible to control the aircraft.

    Hi, I downloaded the scenery and installed once it worked but after switching to windows11 and reinstalling the mod it stopped working. I don’t have the ASOBO scenery. Please help as I look forward to fly from EGLL. Thank you

    The Asobo EGLL seems to load everytime instead of the inibuilds one because the folder is completely empty… I checked every folder for a .dat file to place in the SceneryIndexes folder but there’s nothing inside the addon but the empty folders! We need someone to upload a newer file of the inibuilds EGLL, as every other inibuilds airport works.

  12. Anonymous

    looks absolutely fantastic but kills my framerate on a 4090 rig. might be the ton of static objects which seem to have been added compared to the previous version or its something else dunno. anyway previous version fps was stable. probably among the best looking airports in the sim right now

    1. MentroX2088

      All good. 40- 60 fps max settings. Btw, rtx 4070, my friend…. This is PC optimisation issue, not scenery…

    I deinstalled EGLL from MS Premium Package and placed the inibuilds into the community folder, but it always load the default EGLL, not the inibuild one. Any idea ?

        1. Anonymous

          inside your msfs path where your community folder is stored, there is also a folder SceneryIndexes. Delete everything with “EGLL”.inside this and restart your system.

    For anyone having issues with double ground textures and bad jetways even after uninstalling default EGLL, it’s the LatinVFR Static Aircraft if you have those installed. Go to this folder: \lvfr-airport-static-aircraft\scenery\world\scenery and delete the relevant airports listed inside it. These are all Asobo Default airports so should be deleted as it will spawn random stuff for these default airports and screw up any custom jetways.

  26. Anonymous

    I followed the entire installation procedure described and even so all the textures, with the exception of the floor and the fingers, turned pink.
    Could it be something I did wrong?
    How can I solve this problem?

  29. haan

    Installed in community folder and deleted asobo stock but still not showing inibuilds egll airport. It only shows stock airport

  30. Luka

    I deleted default asobo scenery but i still have like double taxiway lines, 2 concordes etc. any help? I reinstalled everything couple times

  31. zzyt

    Need help! I moved the inibuilds-airport-egll-heathrow folder to community and did not install asobo egll, but I got default airport scenery when I enter game.
    Ps. In content manager, it showed only inibuilds egll installed.

    iniScene London Heathrow v3.0.2

    • HD textures are now the default option.
    • Reinstated parking 364 and markings with corrected signage
    • Parking 218 now shows as 218/L/R.
  36. John

    Well, there’s still some uneven terrain mesh with a slope on that taxiway S1, but at least now it’s not as intense as it was on the previous version (v3.0 if not mistaken) and it’s only right before you enter runway 27L.

    v3.01 of iniScene London Heathrow (EGLL) for MSFS has been released. This update includes corrected ortho tiles, updated ground service equipment, and much more.

      1. SceneryAddons

        you’re most likely missing crucial files, make sure nothing is getting blocked during extracting.
        other than that also try deleting your SceneryIndexes files as described in the FAQ

    Receiving a CTD every time I try to launch a flight from here. Seems to be okay if you’re flying into it however.. or I may have been lucky.

    1. Elenmar

      That is an issue on your side. The scenery has all the buildings. Check what other airports in the area might be affecting it.

  45. Speedbird

    Works great here, using sd textures I get same fps as adobo egll but this looks much better, tried with inibuilds a310

  46. Fly620

    When using the torrented version – regardless of setup instant CTD with both HD and SD textures.

    This does not happen with the other downloaded versions.

  48. Bobby

    For some reason non of the terminals show… I unpacked them both at once both separately and replaced files but it never shows.

  49. Anonymous

    After storing both parts in the same folder, I am still missing some buildings. And the VDGS still does not work

  53. Pilot_dani

    guess what ?
    innibuilds has just confirmed thay are working on a paris project which is very likely to be LFPG …
    are you excited for next stutter fest ? lul

  55. Captain Waldemar

    Performance is much better after this update. I’m basically getting almost the same performance as Asobo’s EGLL.

    I don’t know if iniBuilds finally learned how to optimize their products, but I hope so and that this performance improvement extends to their other airports like KLAX.

  56. Anonymous

    Let’s try this once again: Is there any particular reason why when I load this, it’s showing the default (general) airport? The ASOBO EGLL I have has already been disabled. It was working fine the 2.0 version but 3.0 I have this.
    Any ideas?

  57. XHXH

    That’s weird, I dont have any EGLL (including ASOBO) and when I spawn, the airport is one of those default ones, no idea what’s going on.

  58. Joe

    What folder contains the terminal buildings? Is it “egll-modellib.BGL”? That folder is 942 322kB but I still don’t see any terminal buildings. I would be happy if someone knows what the issue is

    Don’t post this as a comment, it is some legal advice. I know you approve before adding remarks to the website. I strongly advice you to not use the term “piracy” in your own comment. And I say this as a fan of the website…with some legal knowledge.

      Great point although I doubt Flight Sim addons are “big” enough to worry about at that level. If SimPlaza was running an mp3 website then for sure..

    Where I get 65 fps mid flight I get 19-20 fps at EGLL with a 4090 and an i9-13900K in the Fenix A320. Have also disabled HD textures. Unusable.

    1. Anonymous

      Something is wrong if you are getting that from a 13900k / 4090 combo. If you have fsltl injector running, try to disable that when flying from / to EGLL. I know it’s an immersion killer, but it causes massive cpu load depending on the config. Also because there are so many airports in close vicinity, it tries to populate those airports within a certain radius too. Other than that, i noticed the uk/london landmarks by orbx also causes fps drop. If i disable all the other add-ons in the near vicinity (there are a bunch of small airports from burning blue design nearby) i get acceptable framerate from 4090 and fenix. Around 40. With frame generation, it becomes really smooth. With pmdg 737, with these settings, i get 50+ fps without frame gen.

        FSLTL is a disaster on FPS. And they refuse to acknowledge it and instead attack whoever opens his mouth about this on their discord.

        1. Anonymous

          Well, i know it’s an fps hog, but that’s the reality of AI traffic. I don’t think there’s much they can do. In an airport like Heathrow, there can be 100s of static and moving aircraft. All those objects, particularly the moving ones put a strain on the CPU. And since they are controlled by MSFS and not FSLTL (FSLTL merely injects those or removes those), probably there isn’t much the FSLTL developers can do about it. The only option is to use it with light configuration so that it does not spawn too many objects. The thing they can do probably is optimizing the Models / liveries.

    3. Anonymous

      same system I got 90+ did you use FSTLT and return back to the airport? this is the cause of 90% of my stutters.

    4. Anonymous

      Thanks for the tips guys! You put me in the right direction. Aerosoft Simple Traffic was the culprit, FPS doubled itself to 42 after disabling it.
      So please disregard my first comment as it had nothing to do with this scenery.
      Thanks again 🙂

      Yes, can confirm S1 slopes down towards the runway 27L. i kept a backup of the previous version and will check there too if it had that.

    2. Anonymous

      I run a quick lookup test and sadly, i can confirm as well, that the oldest version did not have ellevation issues at S1 near the 27L runway. i only hope they fix it with a future update.

      Is OK , better optimized than KLAX .
      will support the developer now , then we have more beautiful sceneries .

  74. lol

    The only way of getting acceptable framerate in this Airport is to have a GPU with Frame Gen and a recent high-end CPU.

  82. Anonymous

    Leave HD textures if you want to enjoy the terminal interiors in this one. Get rid of cars and buses. Result is acceptable, not great, but very acceptable.

  84. Anonymous

    it is very laggy when i fly to or from the airport. and the game also crashes saying “your graphics device encountered an issue” any fix for this?

    1. Anonymous

      Try not to reconnect your USB devices while flying or on the ground, and also delete the rolling cache data in the MSFS settings at the DATA page before starting a flight. Another cause might be too many addons in the community folder, keep in mind using programmes such as Addons Linker so you add only the ones you need. It solves the problem for me.

  89. Anonymous

    how can i choose one of the two airports ? if i want to use inbuilds airport should i delete the asobo one ? can somebody help me please

    1. Anonymous

      Yes, delete the Asobo EGLL airport in the content manager (if you downloaded it from here then delete it from your community folder). This one is a little hard on FPS so if your computer isn’t the best then I recommend the Asobo one.

    2. Schu

      As written in the description remove various objects from the scenery folders. For example @inibuilds-airport-kdtw-detroit i removed some folders and doubled my performance. At egll i would remove the following folders as well:
      • Remove People & Passengers: egll-scene-people.bgl -> egll-scene-people.disabled
      • Remove Detailed Interiors: egll-scene-interior_clutter.bgl -> egll-scene-interior_clutter.disabled
      • Remove Landside Cars: egll-scene-cars.bgl -> egll-scene-cars.disabled

  101. Elon Musk

    Asobo KLAX and KSFO are my worst airports both drop below 30 with zero traffic or static. Absolute garbage FPS in USA since WU6. Went from 60 to 30 with that update. Asobo HECA is very broken now too. As someone who doesn’t fly UK this sounds just as bad FPS wise with UK PG being so dense in the area. Least the quality is better than Asobo. This airport looks awesome!

  102. Anonymous

    Better performance for sure but still not better than Asobo’s KLAX or KATL for example (performance wise). Actually the mentioned two are better for me FPS wise and that says a lot. For example, taxiing is in the mid to high 20s so i say they need to squeeze a tiny bit more performance out of it if they still can …..

    I must say i’m quite pleased with the new update (v2.0.0). Not only did it improve quite a bit the performance, but it also reduced the file size by approximately 2.6Gb.

    FPS killer. Literally. Especially with player traffic on. Other airports do not have such heavy performance. Not even KLAX or KJFK. It needs urgently LOD optimisation.

    Seem to have a corrupt texture file in Part 2, which causes pink textures on the Holiday Inn POI model in-game. If anyone can help find a fix for this (or if it can be re-uploaded) that would be nice. Otherwise, fantastic upload. Thanks for the update, appreciate your work.

    1. SceneryAddons

      Try the airport with every other addon disabled, also did you rename your modellib files & materiallib folders as described in the FAQ? This is often the cause for pink textures.

      1. Anonymous

        Appreciate the quick reply and support! I tried installing the packs backwards first (part 2 then part 1) and decided it would work again. I wasn’t aware of the modellib & materiallib folders, so i will keep that in mind next time. Thank you for allowing us to try before we buy 🙂 I often go on to support the developers fully from here.

      Same here. Trying to find out why. No issue with Asobo’s EGLL or any other 3rd party airports. iniBuilds EGKK works fine. EGLL CTDs every time I load a flight. Will try with V1.2.2 to see if there’s any improvement.

        yes but i have the prem upgrade if i search egll in content manager it shows up as world update so how do you delete it and there are 3 other airports like this i cant delete?

      The latest update (v1.2.0) seems to have improved performance, by approximately 5-8 fps. It’s still quite heavy as scenery, but at least now it’s more playable, even reaches 33 fps

    9. Anonymous

      Most recent update sees a change in FPS (for the better), it’s still not perfectly smooth, and some textures like the T5 terminal at night are still horrible, however it’s a positive update (especially with the arrival of the VDGS system) if things continue this way, i’ll support the developer directly. Thanks SP

    10. Anonymous

      The fps drop is so intense, it basically makes it unplayable. Even at lowest settings. Needs a lot of LOD improvement.

    11. Anonymous

      There is a simple way to fix performance: you need to rescale all the texture to 2048×2048 (I tired this on many 8k liveries that caused stutter and fps loss).
      The problem is that in this case there are almost 800 files and I do not have a software that can do this for each image simultaneously.
      Maybe some willing and capable guy could do this and reupload..? 🙂

      I really want this to work, so I edited content.xml, tried the false for EGLL, CTD. Took it out and left this one in, CTD any other hints? I might try and add it as an addon using the Ms addon app, see if that works other than that. It doesnt work for me

        I agree. I would justify this size for something like LOWI, which lives up to the size hence all those POI around. I’m guessing all the GB were used on the objects scattered around the airport and the buildings/hangars external textures etc..

      1. Toni

        I recommend the following.
        Edit your content.xml
        Before.
        <Package name=”asobo-airport-egll-heathrow” active=”true”/>
        Now.
        <Package name=”asobo-airport-egll-heathrow” active=”false”/>
        This way the simulator will not load it and in future updates it will not have problems with missing packages.

      1. Anonymous

        because most of these addons are simply a file and arent secured. Securing or locking software comes with a cost, and in this case not having the security might actually make them more money. Not only do they bypass the extra security expense, but they also have the opportunity to sell software to someone who usually torrents everything. I know I have bought a few of the mods I got here first.

        FPS reduced, ILS not working, here are trees everywhere. I tryed everything to get ILS back in work, no chance. I Payed for this shit its not a freeware and the said from the developer: THEY HOPE, the next update from asobo will fix these bugs. All of tese for my money. Trees can be hide only with online bing map mode. The rest is only hope. Do not buy.
