An MSK productions presents the first Pakistani airport scenery of Jinnah International Airport for MSFS2004. Jinnah International airport is Pakistan's largest international and domestic airport. It is located in Karachi, Sindh, and its passenger terminal is also commonly known as the Jinnah Terminal. The airport is named after Crown attorney/statesman Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan and its first Governor General, who was popularly known as the Quaid-e-Azam ("Great Leader").
The airport provides primary hub for the flag carrier; Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), Shaheen Air International, and Airblue as well as many other private airlines. The airport is equipped with aircraft engineering and overhauling facilities including the Ispahani Hangar for wide-body aircraft.
Karachi was once a much busier airport. Between the 1960s and 1980s it was an online station of several major airlines of the world including British Airways, Interflug, TAROM, Alitalia, JAT Yugoslavia Airlines, Aeroflot, Philippine Airlines, Nigeria Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, EgyptAir, East African Airways, Kenya Airways, Air France, Qantas, Pan Am, Royal Jordanian, Libyan Arab Airlines, Japan Airlines, Syrian Arab Airlines, Middle East Airlines, Swissair, and SAS. However, due to the emergence of Dubai's airport on the world map, increased usage of longer haul aircraft, and the political climate of Karachi during the 1990s, several airlines discontinued their service to the airport.
In the past couple of years Karachi has seen a reversal in fortunes. The dwindling numbers of international airlines have stabilised and whilst there hasn't been a marked increase in the number of airlines flying in to Karachi, some have either increased the number of flights or resumed their old operations.
Economic factors may be partly responsible for the upswing in activity at the airport. As industrial growth in Karachi and the rest of Pakistan expands, some European and Asian carriers are mooting resumption of services to Jinnah International.

I have been following the developement of this add on for some time. The finnished product is well produced and rates as the best Jinnah scenery available so far on the Market. The night textures are very pleasing with a very good Frame Rate. I would have expected a lower price tag for this product. However, highly recommended. |

[FS2004 version] Ground- and building-textures are ok, no seasonal changes. The only impressive modelling is that of the yellow gate fingers. The night textures on the apron are completely unsatisfactory. The scenery has sharp edges and bright colours that blend very badly into the surrounding terrain. Every now and then there is a little twinkle like e.g. the Mc Donald's building in front of the airport. The AFCAD is exact. The scenery wins over through its exotic flair (seen from a European perspective). The many ground vehicles, which match the models common in that part of the world but are not very detailed, help the scenery to appear rather lively. No dynamic traffic. The airport layout is still up to date 2011. Full AES support available.
I fully agree with the external reviews. It is a nice debut feature with an exotic flair which is worthwile a visit. If compared with other payware sceneries, however, it's hopelessly overpriced, especially if you take into consideration that you only get either the FS2004 or the FSX version! I would also not like to accept the statement that it is the best representation of that airport so far, as even the worst freeware implementation of an airport usually is better than the MSFS-standard: in that case it would also be the best scenery available so far if there were no alternatives. I wouldn't spend that much money again! |
