FSXCENERY -   KTUL TULSA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FSX P3D

FSXCENERY - KTUL TULSA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FSX P3D

I purchased this scenery because no one else has tackled Tulsa and I really wanted a good model of this airport for FSX. Although the developer recently updated, it is very poorly optimized and will eat VAS for no good reason. I was able to isolate the problem in the .BGL that includes the photoreal ground scenery. Dropping LOD radius to 4.5 default helps but I run other much more advanced scenery from other developers and don't have any problems. The developer also doesn't seem to know the real world names of FBOs, etc. For example the sign for Atlantic Aviation says "Atlantis". Looks like a logo for a high school mascot they ripped from Google photos. Other models for hangars are generic like default FS. I am still giving the product 3 stars because I emailed the developer about some of the issues and received a fast, courteous response. The price point is OK especially if you buy it on sale. Not a terrible scenery but understand what you're getting.

RFSCENERYBUILDING - KOKC WILL ROGERS OKLAHOMA CITY FSX P3D

I don't normally give 5 stars to anything but this developer has done a fantastic job and deserves recognition. Too many developers try to pass off products that are poorly optimized or have glaring flaws that may or may not be addressed with updates. KOKC airport looks exactly like the real one and my modest (older) system had no problems running smoothly. It blends with Orbx perfectly (using the scenery file they provide for Orbx customers). The only flaws are minor and not worth mentioning. This is a great add to your library!

AREZONE - CESSNA 152 II SOUNDSET

AREZONE - CESSNA 152 II SOUNDSET

This is my 1st Arezone sound set purchase. Other reviewers said things like "The sounds are rather low quality, and when you push the throttle to full forward, the transition between idle and high rpm is rather unrealistic." I have to say that this is definitely true of this pack. If you are familiar with FS Sound Studio there is a lot you can do to fix these sounds, so the investment isn't too bad. However, there are a lot better sound sets available from other studios. Also, these sets were clearly made for antiquated FS versions (FS9). There are no 3D sound cones and some of the sounds are aliased to default FS (gyro, etc). Not a product for those using FSX or Prepar3D.

Consequences of Piracy

  • Legal Risks: Engaging in piracy can lead to severe legal consequences, including fines and prosecution.
  • Security Threats: Pirated software often carries malware, risking your personal data and system security.
  • Lack of Support: Unauthorized copies do not receive official support or updates, leading to potential issues and vulnerabilities.

How You Can Help

  1. Purchase Legitimately: Always buy add-ons from authorized sellers like SimMarket to ensure you receive authentic products.
  2. Report Piracy: If you encounter pirated add-ons, report them to the authorities or the original creators.
  3. Educate Others: Spread awareness about the negative impacts of piracy and encourage others to support developers by purchasing legitimate copies.
