I had already bought Worldsceneries "Wonderful Rio" and was really disappointed with it, so when I saw that Aerosoft had added AES to this (and Tropicalsim Sao Paulo Congonhas)I bought it.
Much better airport that "Rio": much more detail in building and other textures, much more eye-candy, better physical integration with the surrounding landscape and traffic!!! - something sorely missed from the "Rio" package.
If you already have the "Rio" scenery, remove SBGL from it and you get the best of both worlds: the fotoscenery and Santos Dumont from "Rio" and a much better SBGL from Tropicalsim.
Tropicalsim sceneries are still far short of FlyTampa or FSDream but they`re getting better all the time. |

[FS2004 version] The ground textures are ok (see below), the grass textures are blurred satellite images. The buildings are well imitated but everything still reminds a bit of FS2002. The transition into the standard scenery is bad, especially striking at stand 44 where the good ground textures blend over into grainy textures below the right wing of the aircraft parking there already. Only the immediate airport grounds have been imitated, not even a car park. The island on which the airport is situated is not that big; to completely create the entire island would most likely not have been too difficult. Military and cargo aprons are partially modelled with great love for detail. No seasonal changes. The night textures also remind a bit of FS2002 and are not particularly good. Very angular ground vehicles. The stands in the AFCAD are for the greatest part just plain wrong (fortunately not in the textures), which of course creates problems with the AES-follow-me as well. No dynamic traffic. All in all, the scenery appears lifeless. No framerate problems. Full AES support available. Smooth installation.
The Layout of the airport still reflects the state of 2011, but not necessarily the ground markings. Most importantly, many parking positions are missing, which, of course, complicates or even forestalls the creation of a more accurate AFCAD. Before you have to use the standard scenery, this airport is ok, especially since it really is something special in terms of its extraordinary layout and its details.
The consideration is difficult: Only the most basic size of the airport grounds has been modelled, the AFCAD and the ground markings are faulty in regard to the stands, the textures are at the lower end of TropicalSim-sceneries and last but not least the price would be grossly exaggerated, would it not be for both the FS2004- and FSX-versions. Only some details and the nice overall atmosphere of the airport can mitigate things a bit. One has the impression that this scenery was created under a lot of time pressure. That is very regrettable as this destination would have deserved better. With a certain amount of good will, I award three stars as two would make the airport seem worse than it actually is. |
