The airport occupies an area of 15 square kilometers. Beside the airport proper, this includes a royal terminal, facilities of the Royal Saudi Air Force, and housing facilities for the airport staff. Construction work on KAIA airport began in 1974, and was finalized in 1980. Finally, on 31 May 1981, the airport opened for service after being officially inaugurated in April 1981.
I have been waiting for the FS2004 version ever since I eagerly tracked the development and release of the FSX version. Needless to say, I'm not disappointed. The airport is beautifully rendered, and the performance is outstanding on my iMac i5 (Late 2009) running BootCamp. Finally, a proper, high quality rendition of Jeddah is here -- and I am far from disappointed. While the price is a tiny bit high, I believe it is nevertheless reasonable given the amount of work that must have gone into this accurate and lovely portrayal of this facility. Great work, BDOAviation!
This is a very good rendition by BDO. I would rate this as the second best Middle Eastern airport just behind Fly Tampa's Dubai. Four and a half stars if AES is applied in future.
Be aware BDO have developed the airport as it is now ... the substantial extensions are still under construction. Cranes are animated as is airport ground traffic so airport is alive. Ai traffic also works well on this large airport. Interior fitouts also modeled. Very impressed.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch, endlich mal wieder ein auf Anhieb fehlerfreies Produkt! Hier versteht jemand sein Handwerk. Tolle Texturen von hoher Qualität, perfekt aufeinander abgestimmt! Eine schöne Nachtbeleuchtung, Dynamischer Bodenverkehr und viele aber durchdacht platzierte Objekte beleben die Scenerie.
Mit Sicht auf die hohe Qualität ist der Kaufpreis angemessen.
Klare Kaufempfehlung!
