Baku X is the first commercial scenery of Azerbaijan, featuring a highly detailed representation of UBBB Heydar Aliyev airport as well as Baku city with hundreds of landmarks. This product is compatible with FSX and Prepar3D.
Baku is the capital and largest city of Azerbaijan, as well as the largest city on the Caspian Sea and of the Caucasus region. Baku is located 28 metres (92 ft) below sea level, which makes it the lowest lying national capital in the world and also the largest city in the world located below sea level. It is located on the southern shore of the Absheron Peninsula, alongside the Bay of Baku. At the beginning of 2009, Baku's urban population was estimated at just over two million people. Officially, about 25 percent of all inhabitants of the country live in Baku's metropolitan area.
Heydar Aliyev International Airport (IATA: GYD, ICAO: UBBB) (former Bina International Airport) is the main international airport in Azerbaijan located 20 km (12 mi) northeast of the capital Baku. The airport is the home of Azerbaijan Airlines, the national flag carrier. It is the busiest airport in Azerbaijan and of the Caucasus.

Review it now!
There is one big disappointment. The AI planes get stuck at the hold short nodes, and similarly, landing AI plane either overfly the airport or land and then vanish. This has been reported to DD by several users. So far, there has been no acknowledgement that this is an ongoing problem, so there is no sign of a fix.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The name is a little misleading here because you are not only getting Baku, you get a whole country to discover.
The modelling and the texturing are outstanding and as always in Drzewieckis sceneries, there are a lot of details to discover.
Performancewise it is doing a lot better than expected and a lot better than other DD sceneries on my system. No problems here at all. Great!
There have been a lot of discussions recently about jetways and here we can see why. That is exactly how it is supposed to work in a scenery from 2016. The SODE Jetways are really a step forward and a lot better, than they were for example in EETN.
The lite airports are nicely made, of course not as detailed as Baku itself. But well enough to hop over there for a quick visit.
The photoreal, which covers the entire country looks nice, as long as you are on a certain flight level or on approach. I would not recommend it for VFR flying. But you can turn it off, if you wish to do so.
One little minus point is the autogen, which could be a lot more dense. On approach it looks quite sparse, although you can see on the photoreal, that there should be many houses.
Overall it is a great scenery and well worth the money. My dream would be the exact same project for Georgia!
