BluePrint’s KMSP scenery depicts the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International airport as it exists today. MSP has two terminals, the older Lindbergh terminal with its seven concourses, and the newer Humphrey terminal. The two terminals have been modeled with the highest level of detail allowed by the Flight Simulator. Special attention was paid to the accuracy of the airport layout, including runways, taxiways and ramps as well as the configuration and location of all airline gates. The FAA control tower, fire stations, general aviation, aircraft maintenance, cargo and military facilities have been depicted. The highest degree of detail was also applied to all major buildings in those areas. As a bonus, a model of the Mall of America (the US largest) is included to increase realism during approach to runway 35.
Scenery Features:
- Custom-made, optimized Gmax models of most buildings within the airport grounds including the two passenger terminals and a total of eight concourses, the control tower and fire stations, the Northwest and Sun Country Airlines maintenance complexes, and all general aviation and cargo facilities. Some of the USAF and Minnesota Air National Guard hangars and buildings have also been modeled.
- Custom-made, optimized textures for all Gmax generated buildings. In the FSX version, reflective effects were used in the textures of all major buildings.
- Custom-made, high-resolution photo real ground textures in and around the airport depicting seasonal changes and improved blending with the surrounding ground textures*
- Accurate runway and taxiway layouts, including detailed markings and signals
- Custom-made AI mapping file including realistic gate and parking spot assignments**
- Three levels of scenery complexity, from "Normal" to "Very High".
* In the FS2004 version, the default ground elevation and texture do not match real life and, consequently, the satellite image used to generate the high-resolution textures included in this package. Some mismatch, especially for the rivers near the southeast end of the field, should be expected. |

I also might add my frame rate is based on FS defaults for framerate. I also have MegaCity and MegaScenery add-ons, and the framerate is automatically adjusted after you load those sceneries to FS. With the framerate adjusted with MegaScenery add-ons, I get 29 to 33 on the framerate. BluePrint did a great job of making sure this scenery is not a framerate hog.

Not sure what the gentleman that is giving this scenery a bad review is doing, but this is one of BluePrints best releases. My machine is not the most powerful compared to some others, but you dont need that much juice to run this airport. Im getting between 17 to 19 on framerate and have had no problem with how this sceney has acted since I loaded it on FS. It is a solid release for the money just like all of BluePrints othe releases. I might add that there are a couple of free updates for this rairport on the BluePrint website, but the scenery itself is a great acting peice of scenery. |

Hi,
I have bought every one of the BluePrint sceneries and love them all. Minneapolis is a great peice of work. I have actually travelled to this airport, and I must say that the BluePrint people got it right on the money when they created this scenery. Every detail is just like the real aiport. I am also very impressed with how they tamed the framerates on not only this airport but all of the airport scenery they have released so far. I dont have the strongest machine for FS, and yet I get great frame rates when flying to this airport. If you want a peice of scenery that is realistic and easy on the frame rates, buy this and other sceneries buy BluePrint.

This scenery Does not give good frame rates in fact far from it. It is awful, I have a good set up and lose about 25fps. |
