FSDG - MAURITIUS FSX P3D

Hallo!

Nach einer kürzlichen Mauritius-Reise gerade erworben Ihre Simulation über Mauritius. Insgesamt sehr überzeugend gemacht. Natürlich kann nicht jedes Details nachgebildet werden.

Etwas störend ist allerdings die so in der Realität in einem Riff westlich des Golfplatzes "Paradis Golf Club Beachcomber, Le Morne Mauritius" (Halbinsel Le Morne Brabant im SW der Insel) ins Wasser gelegte, kurze so natürlich nicht existierende Straße. Gerade dieser Bereich wird aufgrund der landschaftlichen Schönheit von Nutzern besonders häufig angeflogen.

Hilfreich wäre auch die 3-D-Darstellung der "Shopping Mall Bagatelle" östlich der Stadt Beau Bassin-Rose Hill.

Würde mich über die Berücksichtigung meiner Korrekturvorschläge im Rahmen eines Updates freuen.

29APR'19 - This is a review of the FSDG Mauritius X Scenery produced by the Flight Sim Developers Group, first released in December 2017 for the P3D, FSX and FSX STEAM versions of Flight Simulator.

Review System:-
i7-7700k CPU overclocked to 4.5Ghz
16GB System RAM
500 GB main SSD for OS
7200rpm 2TB Hitachi HDD with FSX-SE installed there.
GeForce GTX 1080Ti Video Card with 11GB Video RAM
Windows 10 64-bit Home Edition

FS version - FSX-SE (Steam Edition) by Dovetail Games. I run FSX-SE at 2560 x 1440 resolution on a 27" monitor in DX10 mode using Steve's DX10 Fixer. Texture Max Load is set at 2048. Also installed is Orbx FTX Global Base.

FSDG have really done an amazing job on this scenery! It simply stunning! They have modelled the complete island of Mauritius in high detail, including the smaller islands of ILE PLATE (Plate Island), ILE RONDE (Round Island - and the smaller neighbouring island of Serpents) as well as COIN DE MIRE (Flat Island and Gabriel Island) and GUNNER COIN, found on the north side of the island.

Absent from this scenery is the larger land mass of Rodrigues Island, to be found 560km (303nm) to the east of Mauritius.

I took a Cessna Stationair and departed runway 14 and then turned north along the shoreline, climbing to 2500 feet, to circum navigate the island. The coastlines are simply wonderful! And the bays, beaches, corals and waterclass are outstanding! This is Orbx quality stuff and the landscape details are just beautiful to fly over. Continuing north along the coast, you will see the smaller islands of ILE PLATE and ILE RONDE just off the coastline. They are nicely modelled with one of them hosting a small light house. Turning back to the Mauritius coast, we continue west, then south along the shoreline and you will see the Botanical Gardens to the left and eventually you will reach Port Louis and its seaport with ships in the docks. Continuing south, I covered the whole coastline in about 65 minutes at 2500 feet in the Cessna and the shorelines are stunning! The island itself sports a very green and tropical look and feel to it, consistent with this island paradise in the Indian Ocean. Returning to the airport, I descended for a landing on runway 32 and then taxi-ied around the airport. The airport is very nicely done. The scenery content is consistent with the latest charts and the ground markings and taxiway signs are correct. You will see animated busses around the ramp along with other static ramp vehicles - very nice. The airport is well modelled and very acceptable. Switching to DUSK and DAWN mode, revealed a very nice set of ground lighting at the airport and some very beautiful lighting among the landclass itself away from the airport. It will be fun to explore at dusk or dawn. NIGHT mode not tested. There is much to explore in this product and I find this scenery a very excellent piece of work and well worth the price.

Now, the negatives - and there are not many thankfully and they really only centre around the airport. The ramp, runway entry points and run up area have elevations issues. My Cessna's landing gear disappeared below the ground level at various points on the ramp area and upon entering the runway. That said, this did correct itself as I continued, so it is hit and miss really. I flew the PMDG 777-200LR into Mauritius last week and this problem did not occur, so I need to investigate it. Also as you approach runway 14 from about 800 feet out over the bay, the lead in lights disappear and the runway then reverts to a photoscenery object - until you land and roll out, where upon the main tarmac runway re-appears again. Disappointingly, there are no static aircraft and only the busses are dynamic, so the airport does feel a bit quiet and unused; It would be nice to see an update that included some more dynamics to improve the feel of the place - and these days, some bird activity would be nice too! I fly online almost exclusively so AI is not set for me. Statics would be nice! Strangely enough, I did see a huge lorry wending its way north towards Port Louis on the highway located on the west side of the island!

All in all, I recomend this product. It is in my opinion, better than any of the freeware versions out there (and some of them are very good!) and the modelling is extremely good especially the the shorelines and waterclass! Lots of static boats and ships to be found inhabiting the bays and lots of tropical green! Truly a paradise. Lee James - West Sussex UK

My family is from Mauritius and this is the next best thing to landing in FIMP. It is worth every penny and very realistic since the new style building was done. Love the addon airplanes and does not affect frames per second for me. Welldone FSDG and thankyou for making me feel like Im actually in Mauritius. I have always used another payware for the old style airport and I will miss that but no need anymore due to this awesome addon for my FSX world.

un des meilleurs addon jamais cree pour FSX.la qualité des textures en hd a basse altitude reste limpide et précise.une ile de toute beauté en 60 fps .merci FSDG

Nach dem Quickfix für FIMP hat FSDG sofort reagiert, die unschöne Badewannenbildung die auf das fehlen von 3 Dateien zurückzuführen war ist nun verschwunden und alles läuft nun tadellos. Mauritius X ist sicherlich eine sehr gute Umsetzung der gesammten Insel, wenngleich ich mir etwas mehr Lokalcolorit spez.hinsichtlich der Gebäudestruckturen z.B in den zahlreichen Hotelanlagen gewünscht hätte.Hier wurde ein Großteil der Sceneryobjekte einfach aus Seychelles X übernommen.Auch wenn 600 km entfernt, gehört Rodrigues Island nun mal zu Mauritus mit täglichen Verbindungen von FIMR nach FIMP. Um das Produkt perfekt zu machen wäre hier sicherlich eine Umsetzung
wünschenswert!
Noch eine Anmerkung zum Aerosoft Service: Hier sollten Sie als Simmarket lieber gleich den Support des Entwicklers in diesem Fall FSDG empfehlen ,den dieser ist mehr effizient/hilfreich bei Problemen mit dem Produkt wie sich in meinem Fall herausstellte! Trotzdem mind. 4*

Exellente addon, aéroport très bien fait, et détails des objets des décors magnifique, je recommande
