FSDT products are always the best espacially because of their low prices! The performence of their products is always phenomenal! They always make sure that they cover all the details even the minor ones. I've been using all their products for a very long time now and i have never been disappointed. I highly recommend all their products!
Just purchased this for FS9. I have to say it's pretty darn good. I always thought the default KORD was decent, until I flew into it last night. It's terrible. So I figured I'd try the FSDT version. Yes, it is missing one of the new runways to the south. I can live with that cause otherwise it is quite good. Good FPS, a lot of detail on the various terminals. Get a west wind and there are few more fun approaches into any airport in the US. This payware just adds to the experience. Well done FSDT!!!
WOW i have to say massive well done to the dreamteam developers on a fantastic airport package i love everything with it 5 stars from me ;) ;) :) great night lighting aswell and looks like a very busy airport very happy this is a must have :) ;)
For a scenery that was released in 2013, the graphics are great. You won't find six parallel runways at this airport, as the airport was still undergoing construction at the time that the scenery was developed and released, and thus some of the parallel runways that are there today didn't exist back then. If you're looking for an accurate scenery based on the airport layout today, this scenery is not for you. Otherwise, I would highly recommend it.
I gave this program a low rating not because of the graphic work, But because the program is not complete. The building and the jet ways are superb; however there are some runways that are missing (runway 28C-10C and runway 28L-10R) also runway 28R- 10L are not properly mark because of the missing runways. I feel that if you purchase a product that is a little expensive it should be complete there should be no excuse that we are working on other project.
