The developer copied and pasted billboards from another scenery. I find it hard to believe Southwest Airlines would have a billboard in Victoria Falls. Poor alignment with jetways and parking spots too. Comes across as a very lazy project overall, and that's a shame since this is a popular tourist spot.
I've been using Paulo Ricardo's sceneries for many years, and now with MSFS 2020 and the release of the PMDG 737, flying in and out of SBRJ is pure joy. When I lived in Brazil, I got to experience a few B737 and A319 flights, which is always a treat. The entire scenery sets a very high standard for MSFS. I understand one of the future World Updates will feature Brazil. They won't need to do anything in Rio since Paulo Ricardo has it covered!
Great to have a big Middle East hub updated to P3D5! My only suggestion is for the developer to fix parking codes at the new terminal. Currently I use AI traffic that includes Etihad Airways, but the planes only park in the old terminal or in remote parking, while the new one is always empty.
Very simple installation and lots of traffic variety. The interface is also easy to use. I run 60% airline and 15% general aviation traffic to keep my excellent FPS on my high end system. I noticed that 100% in each category decreases my FPS by five to seven.

Much needed pax/cargo hub in the Americas! Great work by PKSIM! The developer is also responsive to bugs and pushed out a new installer within a couple of days of release. The only thing I would suggest is adding the main skyscrapers in downtown Bogota to give the area even more realism.

I was not aware of the existence of PKSIM. I have flown quite a bitin and out of Colombia and within that country for 40 years. I got used to another developer providing Colombian airports, but that company has not done anything with P3Dv4. I'm very happy PKSIM has taken on much-needed Colombian airports. I have all four of their P3Dv4 airports. The visuals are very good and realistic with little impact on performance. The only detail I don't like is the grass texture, but a configurator allows uses to turn it on and off, as well as other features like static aircraft, dynamic lighting, etc. I hope they develop a major hub like SKBO in the near future!
I did not know this scenery developer existed. Another developer has been working on ZBAA for a long time, and I'm glad to see some competition and faster turn around. I like having large international hubs in my simulator, and this is a great addition. I only fly the PMDG 737, 777, and 747 and also have AI traffic. The FPS can drop to 15 in some parts of the airport with all these add-ons, but overall it works well and has good visuals. The developer released a service pack for dynamic lights one day after release, which shows good customer service dedication. I hope they can find some ways to make FPS a little faster.

This lives up to the incredible quality Paulo Ricardo has achieved in FSX and P3D! Please be aware that you need to download additional freeware that needs to be in this order under the Sao Paulo entries after installing this product, or the package will not work correctly: SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Ruscenery/ SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/world-models/ SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Global Airports/ SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/KSEA Demo Area/ SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/ff_library/ SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/ff_library_extended_LOD/ SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/JB_Objects/ SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/OpenSceneryX/ SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/R2_Library/ SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/MisterX_Library/
I fly in and out of DCA quite a bit and always love the visual river approach. Great job. If you fix the AFCAD to real world parking codes, you get five stars!
Great on FSX! I'm converting to P3D, where the aprons appear white, but everything else looks very good. Please make a small update for P3Dv3, so I can get the most of it.
Taxi2Gate has quickly become one of the best scenery designers with the great quality of its products. KMCO is highly detailed and FPS friendly. My only suggestion is for the developer to push updates to our Simmarket accounts, instead of posting them on their support forum. KMCO is currently on version 1.2, which like I said can only be found on their support forum.
This is a 5-star product if the developer fixes the elevation error so many users are having. The developer is also indifferent to customer complaints regarding this problem. I've posted on their Facebook page a couple of times, but I'm being ignored https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10202932399894033&set=o.178774135505724&type=1&ref=nf This is a promising package, but I find it odd that they can't push an altitude adjustment to update the scenery and correct the error. The error causes the runway and taxi lines to float, and creates a sensation that the airport is below ground level. If Thai Creation wants to gain credibility, it has to behave like the major developers, especially when it comes to customer service.
As someone who has flown the shuttle service to/from São Paulo-Rio de Janeiro, I am thrilled to see the both cities so accurately depicted by Paulo Ricardo. This Mega Rio de Janeiro package contains a very detailed reproduction of this magnificent city. The visuals are stunning, and the impact on performance is minimal. I highly recommend purchasing this package along with the follow on Mega São Paulo.
As someone who has flown the shuttle service to/from São Paulo-Rio de Janeiro, I am thrilled to see the both cities so accurately depicted by Paulo Ricardo. This Mega São Paulo package contains the seemingly endless skyscrapers that span the city. The visuals are stunning, and the impact on performance is minimal. I highly recommend purchasing this package along with the original Mega Rio de Janeiro.
I initially had a lower rating because of the number of areas in the airport with invisible building crashes. Tazi2Gate has drastically improved the quality of their products over the last couple of years. I've been to MMMX in real life, and I'm very impressed with the detail, realism and accuracy of this depiction. The surrounding cityscape with real satellite based photos is a nice touch. I only encourage the developer to thoroughly test products for the invisible building problem. They had similar issues when MHTG was released.
This is a big step up for Taxi2Gate. The visuals are stunning. I've been to MMMX, and I almost felt like I was there. I will give it five stars when Cesar and co. fix the crash zones on some of the taxiways. I suggest more testing before release. This also happened with the MHTG initial release.
I'm updating a previous one-star rating. This package looks great, but it's picky about layering in the scenery library. I initially saw floating runway and taxiway marking and terrain spikes. I uninstalled my add-on terrain elevation mesh products, but the problem persisted. The trick is simply to layer VAJJX above VABBX (These are the two airports in the product) in the library. If I invert them, the spikes and floating markings show up.
Another developer I have never heard of but now will pay close attention to. I really like all aspects of this airport, and it looks like they will be developing Narita in the future! This will make flying in Asia more realistic and enjoyable.
This is my 4th NMG airport to add to FACT, FAJS, and FALE. It has very good visuals, and it's frame rate friendly. The designers maintain the moving gates for more realism. Another admirable feature is that you get FSX, P3D, and XP10 features all in one. I wish other designers would do this.
Fly Tampa surprised us by not only rebooting the airport, but by reproducing the entire city. It is a masterpiece! This will be my hub for my PMDG 777X!
I grew up in this city. Everything looks fantastic. I also recommend combining it with Latin VFR's KMIA.
Fantastic job! I've flown in and out of KTPA many times. The realism is incredible in this package. Very flexible on options, especially turning volumetric grass on and off. As a loyal customer, I ask the FlyTampa team to please reboot all their FS2004 airports to FSX!
I currently live in Northern Virginia, and I'm very happy Tropical Sim made one of my favorite airports. It looks and works great. Leandro from Tropical Sim was also very receptive when I gave him feedback on more accurate airline parking locations, which he will incorporate into the coming Service Pack, which will have new features too.
My first review was one star because of extremely slow frame rates. I have to give a lot of credit to Cesar from Taxi2Gate for being very responsive and providing me with updated files, which fixed the problem. My only suggestion for them is more thorough testing to avoid such a rough start. I'll give it five stars if they can provide AFCAD parking assignments closer to the real world. My UT2 AI aircraft are coded properly for airline and parking, but in some cases, the parking seems random. I think a lot of users will be happy to see this airport being so well presented for FSX.
I've flown in and out of Monterrey a number of times. The airport is very accurate. I would suggest and AFCAD update to keep some passenger AI traffic away from the cargo parking. In some instances, passenger planes park in the cargo are when both passenger terminals are virtually empty. I use Ultimate Traffic 2 and make sure my airliners have the right parking codes. Overall, a very good scenery.
