Beautiful scenery with good frame rates even at full traffic levels (using UTII). For daytime flying this is a great rendition of KMEM.
My only issue with this add-on is P3d dynamic lighting or, specifically, its lack of full implementation in the ramp lighting. FSDT has been clear about this and the reasoning behind it in their support forums, so there's not fault on their behalf. However, I also think it would be best if some night shots were included in the preview screens here (perhaps a few less avatar shots?). If your plan intended main use is night cargo flying you will NOT see those dozens of md-11's and 77F's bathed in dynamic ramp lights. FSDT has suggested there may be an update sometime in the future, but it's not a given.
An excellent add-on, my advice is to try the demo version available (FSDT is tops in this option) in day and night flying prior to full purchase to ensure it will provide what you seek.
FSDT pushes the boundaries even further in airport scenery design. The ratio between eye candy and resource footprint (VAS, FPS, etc...) is so incredible it is hard to understand how they manage to get such a performance while being that easy on the resources... really impressive. Why 4 stars? Well, as mentioned already I think too much developing time goes wasted in those avatar/EMAS functionalities- . I'd rather have them ditched and win 25% development time and maybe even get a lower selling price because let's be honest, even though it is worth it, the scenery is quite pricey. I've never used the avatar and probably never will because if I wanted to play an open world first person game I'll fire up GTA 5...
But still, this is technically the most advanced airport scenery of 2016 hands down.
I've bought this directly from FSDT and i am very impressed. I can confirm EMAS works as intended, You can indeed go into the control tower, open hangers etc. This airport is very good & is absolutely worth the $34.00. This scenery is very detailed and absolutely jaw dropping.
This is beautifully done scenery. The guys at FSDT did not miss any detail down to the single brick! I am mostly a commercial, heavy jet simmer that prefers "mega" airports. This addition is obviously more geared towards the cargo enthusiast.
I did a few approaches with the most memory gluttonous aircraft (PMDG, AEROSOFT A320, ETC) with 0 OOMS! However, when I added nasty weather with REX and Active Sky Next, my FPS took a huge hit. No biggie. There's lots to explore at this airport. I don't use P3D so I couldn't play with the avatar guy feature to see the elevator/tower feature. Also didn't feel like crashing my plane on an overshot of the runway to see that featurethat feature either (I find as an unnecessary addition).
All in all, great purchase to add to your FSDT library.
I would have given 5 stars, but since it was a long lull of no new airports since KIAH, I feel FSDT could have picked a better airport to spend the last year + designing.
