Reviews (by Blake)

I reviewed version 1 of this scenery when it came out about a year ago, at which time I was impressed. With no decent Hong Kong scenery on the market (other than Flytampa's coverage of the old Kai Tak and urban area - great, but limited to downtown only), the Scenery on Demand developers presented users with a detailed HK world which ticked most of the simulation 'boxes'. A couple of minor issues which I raised were promptly rectified and I have since flown around in version 1 (using FSX) for the past year with considerable pleasure. However..... this latest version (#2) raises the bar even higher. Fantastic detail, widespread use of local buildings and structures, hilltop radar domes, tons of little touches in both day and night mode which bring Hong Kong to life. Coupled with Flytampa's Kai Tak and Taxi2Gate's Chek Lap Kok, SOD HK have produced a seamless masterpiece. I've lived here for 38 years and flown FS for 10+ years and now I can finally soar above Hong Kong with impunity! The developers have obviously put a great deal of thought into how best to present the dense urban environment faithfully on screen whilst maintaining excellent frame rates. Coupled with a competitive price, Dragoneye Hong Kong V.2 is a winner and I strongly recommended it to those flight sim enthusiasts who crave a realistic Asian megacity experience.
