Saint Petersburg is Russia's 2nd largest city after Moscow with 5 million inhabitants (2012) and the fourth most populated federal subject.
Between 1713–1728 and 1732–1918, Saint Petersburg was the imperial capital of Russia. In 1918, the central government bodies moved from Saint Petersburg (then named Petrograd) to Moscow.
Saint Petersburg is a major European cultural center, and also an important Russian port on the Baltic Sea. Saint Petersburg is often described as the most Western city of Russia, as well as its cultural capital. It is the northernmost city in the world with a population of over one million.

Schön wäre es wenn es auch zeitnah mal ein Update für P3D V4.x geben würde. Ansich funktioniert die Szenerie auch in der V4 recht gut, aber es werden einige Texturen (vornehmlich Dächer) nicht dargestellt.
It would be nice if there would be an update for P3D V4.x soon. The scenery also works quite well in the V4, but some textures (mainly roofs) are not displayed.
Eine überaus gelungene Szenerie von Digital Design. Die Texturen sind scharf und es wurde sauber modelliert. Es muss bei der Installation der Szenerie auch SODE installiert werden, jedoch wurde versäumt auch die Jetways mit SODE nu animieren. So stehen diese nur statisch auf dem Vorfeld herum und hinterlassen so bei dieser eigentlich guten Szenerie einen faden Beigeschmack.
Wen bewegungslose Jetways nicht sonderlich stören kann zuschlagen und "ULLI" besuchen !
It is a really great scenery, I can confirm everything, the other reviewers wrote. One thing though: From a V2 I would have expected working jetways. As he uses already SODE for other purposes, it should have been possible. Everything else is great.
I highly recommend this high quality scenery. Perfect in FPS and also in VAS usage. The perfect ambience at the airport an the vicinity makes it for me a 5/5 star scenery.
I need to update my previous review. Evgeny really does try to make things right. The scenery itself is glorious with hardly any frame rate hit, even with full traffic, which seems rare. Kudos to him, but please ditch SODE! Simmarket, you can delete my previous rant if you like.
Initially I was impressed with the screen shots. Then the problems began with the install. It wouldn't. It couldn't access SODE and refused to install. The developer finally sent me a manual install which was working, but with issues. After countless emails, now I find I have to re-purchase this scenery in order to get P3D3 compatibility (which states it already is) and the latest version of SODE working. Just a thought for you devs, if you are going to charge to get this SODE garbage just to function, I'm going to steer as far away as I can get from scenery that uses it.
A huge apology with regard to my previous review! All the problems I had experienced have been completely eradicated within half an hour of contacting Digital Design support!
The extremely friendly chap (Evgeny) was, as always, very prompt to reply to my email (it was well after working hours for him too) and he talked me through getting everything working (including LIRF) again. He had me up and running in less than 10 minutes.
The new ULLI (V2) is a work of art! Digital Design really know their stuff and are always there if and when you have any problems. Evgeny is a true gentleman who possesses such a calming nature - this was very helpful in that it immediately got rid of any stress and frustration I was experiencing. His email started out with "Hi Bill!! Calm down and don't worry. I will help you with everything here!"
That said, I highly recommend this add-on scenery. No hit on FPS, VAS or any conflicts with UTX/GEX even at the highest settings.
I wish I could delete my previous review - this scenery deserves all 5 stars.
