REALPHYSICS - DORAND AR1 A2 200 MSFS
Agoston
Finally, a product that satisfies my need for a vintage aircraft. She sounds, feels and looks real.
First, I was a bit skeptical reading a couple of negative reviews. However, for only 12Euros I took the risk. What a wonderful plane I've discovered!
Be-
ing a pilot, airplane manufacturer and of course aviation enthusiast, I can tell you that you can rarely find such a product. The cockpit and the textures are almost photorealistic.-
The engine sound in particular must have been recorded from the original or a very similar powerplant, based on my personal experience as a frequent visitor of the British air shows and museums mainly in Duxford where you can hear quite similar sounds. Some say the cockpit sound muffled. That is true because you have to have at least a headphone on your ears. Otherwise, you would be deaf pretty soon by the unmuffled exhaust pipes less than a meter away. Moreover, you must have to wear it for the sake of radio communication as well.
You can hear the sounds of the structure, the clicks of the switches and knobs, the wind noise as well when the big 900in3 engine is off.
The pictures and the description clearly state that the plane is restored with more recent avionics and other up to date materials whilst continuing to maintain the vintage feeling. For me it is quite obvious in 2021 you couldn’t get into the blue with a single compass or other over 100 years old gear from 1916. Those upgrades are extending the usability of the aircraft.
I really hope that realPhysics will create other excellent aircrafts such as this from the same era.
I wholeheartedly recommend.

The exterior of the aircraft is very nice, so are the visual effects. Unfortunately it is almost unflyable. During takeoff it is very twitchy, but with a little practice it is at least flyable. During landing though:Even though the stallspeed is at 52kts (interestingly according to the cfg file it is the same for flaps up and full flaps) if you fly at 70kts and try to flare, the nose just drops down and even thoug the aircraft was trimmed perfektly for 70kts you have not remotely enough elevator authority to flare the aircraft. (even Version 1 was better in that regard). I hope this can be fixed, then the aircraft gets 5 stars from me. It is exactly what I was looking for.
p.s. I have 13.000 real life hours, so I am pretty sure it is not my fault with the landings.

The product is nice well done very detailed but I think the appron is too white, I wrote to the developer about it and he never replied
The star for the map is also missing but the product works very well and it is really nice.
REX - REAL GLOBAL AIRPORT TEXTURES MSFS
Uwe
Absolute recommended. I have used the Zinnertek ones since beginning. They are good to. But this textures have more detail. They looking stunning. I am very satisfied with them. Sure it is a matter of taste, but you should give them a try. You will not regret it.
JUSTSIM - HELSINKI-VANTAA AIRPORT P3D5
aymerick
Pros:
- Beautiful and up to date
- No FPS losses on 5.2. No VRAM issues.
- Animated jetways
Cons:
- Lack of configurator: An option to turn snow textures on/off for winter would be nice. Snow textures appear too early and stay too late. In winter 2020 there was no snow at all. In 2021 snow stayed for 3 months but after january.

Definitely adds more realism. And I actually feel it makes landings in GA's more predictable as the runway asphalt has more details now, which I find helps the depth perception during landings.

Gorgeous! nothing but gorgeous. look how beautiful they are
SNJ SIM - FUKUOKA AIRPORT P3D V4/V5
Cho
Beautiful scenery and probably one of the best sub 20 euro airports out there. In fact, this one only costs 9 euros. I've seen airports that cost around 15 euros that are way worse than this.
It's a must-have if you like to fly in East Asia!!
PILOT EXPERIENCE SIM - P3D5 SETTINGS PACK
Brian
This is an amazing product which totally transforms the look and performance of LMP3Dv5. After buying it at the discounted price of 8 euros and installing it, I set it to optimise w10 from the windows menu section, and then tried the normal settings for LMPD3v5 from the PD3v5 menu. When it booted up LMPD3v5 I was stunned to see what this app had done to improve the look and performance of this sim. Wow, is all I can say, it now looks like the new Microsoft FS2020!! Before I installed this app I was getting around 40fps, now I am getting between 50-60fps! Everything from the aircraft to the Orbx True Earth scenery packs that I have installed is totally stunning now. Buy this product if you use LMP3Dv5. It's very modest price is well worth it for what it does to this sim. You do need to update your LMPD3v5 with the service updates that Lockheed Martin have released for it's PD3V5 to get the best results. Thank you to the developers of this amazing product.
TABURET - SCOTLAND DEM 15 M RESOLUTION MSFS
Thorsten
I downloaded this mesh and agree to the other review. The 15 M mesh is definitely a better resolution which makes the bens and monroe slightly rougher than the soft touch they get from MSFS. It still is way rougher once you see it in real and I live there.
However-
, what's annoying me, my home hill and so many other higher bens show these waves, kind of 15 meter waves across steep inclines or, like in my case, left and right diagonally. Flying with an ultralight low and slow, they become unbearable to look at. If it would be the occasional bum here and there one wouldn't notice it but waves belong on the water, sorry guys, for a pay version not great. I would be happy for any update and improve my rating.
