This scenery pack is well detailed, through and through. Besides the expected decrease in frames per second, it makes flying into The Big Apple a breath of fresh NYC air. Wonderful addition to your X-Plane Sim.
Already have for P3D but this is something more. Breathtaking and beautiful, pretty easy on the frames and light years ahead of default scenery. Using Aerolite in XP11 it's a site seeing bonanza. This has pretty much primed me for VR. Might consider the airports packs now.
This scenery is terrifically well-optimised, and the NYC skyline really does make the area exceptional!
Most buildings which aren't major landmarks look a bit like slightly melted jelly though, which isn't an issue to me as it isn't noticeable from over 1000ft, but don't expect to walk the streets and see anything too amazing.
Overall, a very cool scenery that adds a lot to the NYC experience (especially when paired with NYC Airports XP) especially if you're an airliner junkie, without taking away too many of your frames per second!
