Jorge Chávez International Airport (IATA: LIM,ICAO: SPJC, formerly SPIM) (Aeropuerto Internacional Jorge Chávez) is Peru's main international and domestic airport. It is located in Callao, 11 kilometers (7 mi) northwest from Lima Center, the nation's capital city and 17 km from the district of Miraflores. During 2017, the airport served 22,025,704 passengers. Historically, the airport was the hub for Compañía de Aviación Faucett and Aeroperú. Now it serves as a hub for many aviation companies. The airport was named after Peruvian aviator Jorge Chávez (1887–1910)

Alot of detail put into the interior of this scenery. (not sure why when the exterior modeling is more important) Other than the terminal building, this scenery is not worth 16eu. Alot of pink textures found throughout scenery, hangers look default, ground textures subpar. Dominicdesignteam needs to put the effort into this scenery as they've done with Pensacola.
Needs urgent recoding as runways have changed from 15/33 to 16/34.
This causes Flight simulator 2020 to display double runway, one above the other causing texture clipping.
It's a nice scenery add on, better than the default, recently there has been a glitch/bug that would need an update, for some reason, there are two runways meshed into each other on the sim airport selection map, it shows runways 16/15 and 33/34 merged into each other, in the sim, the runway textures are glitched, hard to explain but they're duplicated/doubled runway white lines next to each other. Please update soon, it is a really nice add-on.
1 star review until severe issues are fixed. Missing ground texture around the airport (shows awful blue texture reather than brown/dirt like in the promo video). The terminal building glass shows a huge repeated texture from a cockpit interior. It will be a decent product once these issues are fixed.
Overall, a very nice upgrade over stock. The terminal and immediate surroundings (like the Costa del Sol hotel across from the terminal) are modelled quite well. There are a couple of things that could be improved. First, I've noticed that the COVID-related signage outside the main terminal is from Australia...it's odd that this would be included in a Peruvian airport. Secondly, I'd like to see the modelling and resolution improved on the peripheral hangars/other buildings. It would also be nice to see some ground texture improvements around the runways and taxiways, though I don't fault the developer for these textures, since the default satellite textures in the Lima area aren't great to begin with. If you're on the fence, this is a worthy buy IMO.
The scenery is very well done, and has an impressive level of detail. But I experience a tremendous drop in FPS, mainly when the view is focused towards the main terminal. From solid 45-50fps to 4fps maximum, at that point the simulator becomes totally unusable.
Any help is appreciated!
As a Peruvian,I can say this airport is well detailed and always beautiful to explore and arrive. A must add on for someone who likes to have the most important airports in South America.
