Most of the performance degradation I was seeing is a result of the static aircraft, fire trucks, human figures, etc.
By backing those .BGL files up and removing them from the scenery folder, frames rates and overall performance of this scenery were greatly improved. The facility looks very nice without these objects, much better than the default scenery.
I have not changed my rating of the software but am using and enjoying it with the modification listed above.
However, it is definitely not very "FPS friendly" on my system with many pauses and stuttering. There is a lot of vegetation objects in the autogen which really wacks the frame rates. And, the water textures do not blend well with the default scenery.
I am experimenting with removing some of the agn files to reduce the system impact.
With a very high end system, the scenery might render a bit more smoothly.
