SHARM EL-SHEIKH FSX P3D

I am a little bit disappointed with this scenery. Purchased for 3d v5. The surrounding of the airport is very nice but the airport itself is medium quality. Maybe I am expecting more from FSDG but this is my opinion.

WOW WOW WOW i have got a few FSDG Airport scenerys and as always the FSDG Team have done a fantastic job on this airport scenery so a massive well done to the FSDG team on yet another fab scenery im very happy with this and love the night lighting looks so real once again massive well done to the FSDG team 5 stars from me. If i could give 10 stars i would amazing :) ;)

I quite like this. Considering the MS version is nothing other than some concrete and a few buildings, this is a vast improvement and gives much more of a realistic airport feel. I personally did not have any problems with framerates (I have my FS set at 30 fps max and it hit 30 constantly). Yes admittedly it does not have moving vehicles etc, but some developers choose not to do this which is fine by me (I do not intend to spend hours watching the airport etc!). I think the textures are good and overall it is a good and pleasing addition to my middle east airports.

Too be honest, I'm not too impressed with this scenery. The frame rates are terrible
and that shouldn't be the case, considering it's basically located in the desert,
with hardly no outlying buildings. Also the airport seems dead, with no moving traffic. I wouldn't recommend this product.

Update to the previous review of the FS2004 (FS9) version - Purchasers please note! If you have the previous version of the FSDG Sharm El Sheikh 2012 scenery for FS9, you MUST UN-INSTALL THIS FULLY BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE UPDATED NEWER VERSION! Strangely enough the requirement to do this is mentioned in the documentation *AFTER* the scenery is installed! Would have been nice if it was mentioned by the Installer upon running it. A complete removal of the previous scenery version followed by a clean install of the newer version solved the CTD problem. Now to the scenery. The Orange landclass is still there and looks very different to the surrounding terrain and therefore does not fit in with it at all. However, the newer landclass now includes some ground features not present in the earlier FS9 version. The landclass problem is particularly difficult if you head southwest away from the airport towards the coast. You will see that the coast line does not line up, nor does the landclass itself (the orange ground overlay) does not work and produces a hard edge at this point of the surroundings. If you can live with this, then the airport is excellent, as was the previous 2012 version. From what I can see, having compared the two versions, there is little that has changed. I cannot see anything in the documentation that is referred to as being new at all. Perhaps the "features" on the landclass have been updated. There certainly seems to be a few new bits and pieces. Its good that the update was free - I could not see any reason why previous version owners would want to pay for this upgrade, since the 2012 version for FS9 was excellent. I'm guessing that there are perhaps newer features in the FSX and P3D versions and certainly the one installer is an advantage, particularly if you run all three Simulations. I am perhaps a little disappointed that nothing really new has been added to the FS9 version. My tip - if you have all three SIM versions then by all means grab this product. If you have the previous version for FS2004, stick with it. The airport and its environs in the 2012 version is very good work. I give 3 Stars because of the lack of an un-install warning in the installer that resulted in me having a CTD upon newly installing this product.

This review is for the FS2004 version - Bought this right off the bat as I have the 2012 version already which is excellent. However, I cannot find any improvement in the FS9 version of the scenery. And the lovely desert work is now replaced by an Orange square which looks pretty horrible! I also received a CTD (crash to desktop) after the first 3 minutes of flying. I need to investigate this further and will update this review in due course, but it looks like there are some BGL compilation issues here.
