FSXCENERY - KCOS - CITY OF COLORADO SPRINGS MUNICIPAL AIRPORT MSFS

FSXCENERY - KCOS - CITY OF COLORADO SPRINGS MUNICIPAL AIRPORT MSFS

I owned the FSX version of KCOS, my hometown airport. I was very disappointed. I've read and streamed several reviews about this version and the consensus seems to be just as bad or worse. In addition to being inaccurate, it messes up the elevation surrounding the airport, flattens existing 3D buildings and more. I considered purchasing this version but decided to thoroughly review first. I went with a freeware version instead and it's not bad at all. Personally, I would not recommend this product at any price. Again, my simply personal observation. I'd rate "0" if allowed.

FSXCENERY - CYQR REGINA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FSX P3D

I've never had the pleasure of visiting Regina, but FSXcenery seems to be paying more attention to detail than in many of their past products. Although, I can't vouch for the accuracy of the layout the product quality seems to be improving with each release. Good job Fernando and company, keep it up friends!

FSXCENERY - KPDX PORTLAND OREGON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FSX P3D

IMO, not a very good representation of this beautiful airport. Having owned and used the FlightZone addition in FS9, I was greatly disappointed. I agree with those that have stated that the default airport is as good or better than this. My biggest gripe is with the north jetways and parking locations, which do not align and therefore don't work. Going back to my freeware edition.

FSPS - FFTF DYNAMIC FSX

As always I was skeptical about software of this nature. However, simply put, a great little program. It has provided me with improved FPS, smoothness, long-trip blurry elimination and... thus far, no VAS crashes! It's especially impressive when used in conjunction with SIMstarter. Amazing what many of us have to do to get FSX to run as expected, but this has helped my old system tremendously. Very surprised and very satisfied with the results. Good job FSPS!

FSXCENERY - KCOS CITY OF COLORADO SPRINGS MUNICIPAL AIRPORT FSX P3D

My home airport that I've waiting years for. An "OK" rendition, but far from the real thing. The exterior of the airport is a stucco beige, not concrete grey. Gate assignments are wrong, but better than the default. Worth 3 stars. The current freeware version is much more accurate regarding appearance and gate assignments. One of the best features of this scenery is that it doesn't gobble up VAS which most other airports by this publisher do. Anyway, thanks for the effort. As I understand, most of the money paid goes to animal rescue and I'm good with that.

RFSCENERYBUILDING - KOKC WILL ROGERS OKLAHOMA CITY FSX P3D

Beautiful airport with lots of attention to detail. The price is right, much easier on FPS than the competitor as well. Like many, the biggest issue I have is with the static jetways. Airport designers today should be expected to have SODE, AES, or just good 'ole default moving. For that reason only, I'll give 4 stars in lieu of 5 because it is a well done effort. Nice to see the RFSB break out of Europe and hope to see more locations across the pond. Just, please, consider moving jetways in the future.

SXAIRPORTDESIGN - RICK HUSBAND AMARILLO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FSX P3D

SXAD has become known to me for publishing quality sceneries at a very competitive price. KAMA is no exception. Great detail combined with the sterile West Texas plain makes for a striking contrast. Including SODE for 15 Euros, the quality and attention to detail can't be beat! Highly recommended. I don't fly to West Texas much, but this may change now.

TROPICALSIM - EPPLEY AIRFIELD KOMA FSX P3D FS2004

I've flown through KOMA (RL) many times over the years. As previously mentioned, this is a good, if not great rendition of the airport. A quality scenery that depicts the airport close enough for me to enjoy with my PMDG B738/9 or Aerosoft CRJ, with minimal frame rate and VAS impact. I too, would like to see more medium-sized airports such as KICT, KCOS, KMKE, KABQ and KGRR to name a few. In summary, TropicalSim quality as expected. Good job folks. -Tom

The user below makes a valid point. Make sure to adjust the scenery per the setting program even with a great computer. Most of us are aware of the VAS limitations of FSX and it seems to get worse with each release. However, FSDT is very good at responding to reports such as this and usually will release an update to correct if enough buyers are providing similar feedback. Again, you're correct, it does stutter a bit too much for comfort. I have each airport FSDT has created and they are usually one of the better publishers. Good luck!

FSXCENERY - KOKC OKLAHOMA CITY AIRPORT FSX P3D

OK, my first review was somewhat harsh. I've never had a scenery that took so much VAS I couldn't even start the sim. I will say that Fernando @ FSXCENERY has responded rapidly and is providing first rate service to help with my problem. I will try his recommendations, with an open mind, and hopefully be in a position to comment on the quality of the airport itself shortly. I do know a little about VAS usage with 32/64 bit programs/systems and what he states makes sense. I'd appreciate a way to adjust the memory usage through a "settings" sub program like some other publisher use. I will however, happily give 5 Stars to FSXCENERY for customer service!

LATINVFR - RALEIGH DURHAM KRDU FSX P3D

LATINVFR - RALEIGH DURHAM KRDU FSX P3D

Beautiful airport, and the LatinVFR quality certainly shines through. For some reason however, it is very hard on my Jetline system which handles most complex addons, including my usual PMDG B738 aircraft, with relative ease. KRDU does not run smoothly for me. I'll have 29 fps then make a turn and watch it drop to 2-5. Other than that, it's a greatly detailed piece of art. So I give it 5 stars for detail and 2 for performance. I can't blame the developer entirely, there can always be a bug in my system that is causing the frame rate drop since other users don't seem to have major issues with performance.

FSDREAMTEAM - LAS VEGAS MC CARRAN INTL FSX P3D FS2004

I love this airport and almost all of FSDT's products. I own almost all of their sceneries. I do wish, however, they would more quickly respond to changes at RL airports that have been published previously. Example, this version of KLAS doesn't have the new international terminal E. KORD is still missing the additions of the other two 28 runways and the closure of runway 34R. These changes happened years ago. I understand the emphasis on new products, but major updates to existing airports would be greatly appreciated. Still, great products!

IMMERSIVE AUDIO - NGX COCKPIT SOUND IMMERSION FSX P3D

Does everything it promises for a fair price! Great product and a very satisfied customer. I, like may others, question why these sounds weren't incorporated in the original product. But, it wasn't and this little program greatly enhances the experience for me. Hope they produce additional sound packs for other publishers and aircraft.

REX - REX 5 - WORLDWIDE AIRPORTS HD FSX P3D

REX - REX 5 - WORLDWIDE AIRPORTS HD FSX P3D

I too am a huge fan of REX. I have owned their addons since FS2004 and have used them to upgrade my FSX as well. I was somewhat disappointed with this product though. So much, that I went back and reconfigured the setting 4 or 5 times to make certain the modifications implemented had actually been installed. I believe that if this product could have gone a step further by adding more ground details, such as taxi lights, it might come close to being worth the price. I took my chance and spent my money, but am about 65% satisfied.

FSXCENERY - KCMH PORT COLUMBUS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FSX

This is what I'd expect for the price. Although I've never flown through CMH in RL, the scenery is up to par with other less expensive scenery publishers. It has let me complete my "Three C" collection for Ohio. Because of price and relatively good quality, 4 stars. Generally a good effort guys, now please do KCOS :)

AEROSOFT - SACRAMENTO AIRPORT FSX P3D

AEROSOFT - SACRAMENTO AIRPORT FSX P3D

It is a beautiful piece of work, absolutely gorgeous. I have a custom-built Jetline system that's getting up there in age. I have tons of payware planes and scenery. My system has able to run just every addon I have, from PMDG 777 out of LAX, ORD, JFK or any other complex area without an appreciable decrease in smoothness or frame rate. However, this particular scenery just pounded me into the ground. I eventually pulled FTX and reduced the options all the way down to off and no 3D grass. I can get it to run somewhat smoothly but it's the only scenery I've purchased that has brought my system to its knees. It is probably a situation where my system can't keep up with the newer graphics programming.
