SAMSCENE - BANGKOK MEGA CITY MSFS

SAMSCENE - BANGKOK MEGA CITY MSFS

Looks pretty good ^^ I know Bangkok in and out since it was my home for quite a while. This is the first scenery for a flightsimulator that brings over how Bangkok really looks. The outskirts are a bit left out but im ok with that, it has to run with airliners so i find it acceptable to have a good balance between perfromance and visuals. LOD is used, the city is still visible on Don Muang in good visuals. Really cool. Maybe the stretch between the 2 airports VTBD and VTBS could have a few more models but this is absolutely ok as it is.

SIAMFLIGHT - VTBS SUVARNABHUMI AIRPORT THAILAND MSFS

No question, this is a good one :-) The textures may not be top notch but good enough to cause immersion. Modeling is nice, it felt familiar right away (i was on this airport probably 50+ times, i know it more or less in and out (from a passengers perspective of course). It feels a bit empty at the gates but with GSX this isnt a problem of course. What i also like is the small file size, despite the size of the airport. Nice! That a VDGS system is added just shows that this dev doesnt do just quick work. Very appreciated! I give 5 starts, finally a usable VTBS. Khop kun maag khap, SiamFlight!

FSDG LITE - NAIROBI FSX P3D

I think this may be one of most worthwile airports out there when it comes to prive/value. There are enough devs who ask for over 20 Eur for comparable work. There is really not much negative to note here. The textures look great for the most part. Performance is pretty good. Not many words to loose on this one, just get it. For this amount of money you cannot get anything better. Imo its also the best of all FSDG Lite releases.

AEROSOFT - SIM-WINGS PRO MUNICH P3D

I would rate it somewhere between 3.5 to 3.9 if possible. Its not a bad airport, really. In the latest version it looks pretty detailed on daytime. Nothing is 5 star, not the PBR, not the textures and nothing else but its also far from bad. The modeling of the ground is actually really good and and big step ahead when compared to the other EDDM scenery we have. Every little road between the buildings, as small it may be, is modeled. The ground is also not the best but also far from the worst. Textures are of in most parts, some roofs are low resolution though. Overall its fine. The night doesnt look the best though. There the other EDDM does a better job. Overall, one can see that the airport has the XP ShortFinal as a base. It looks better than the competitor in daytime basically everywhere. A lot better modeling of details. More realistic colored textures, its nearer to the actual airport. Nighttime lacks some love though imo. Its not bad, dont get me wrong and better than others but also, like in every other category, worse than the top dev ones. What i can say is that Simwings gets better and better. The last airports, GCLP, LEMD and this one are way better than earlier releases. If it would be 5 to 7 Euro less it would be great. The high price is a bit too much. Still, i dont regret that i bought it.

JUSTSIM - EUROAIRPORT BASEL MULHOUSE FREIBURG - P3D4.4+

Basically a nice airport. I absolutely dont agree to the review comparison of a known online-magazine that states that it wouldnt even have winter textures. Thats of course not true. The airport has really good looking PBR ground, something that many devs cant get done well like here. The texture from buildings are all crisp too. Only the windows of the terminal could be better done. The stairhousing shows it well, it looks great here with real seethrough glass. Performance is great too. And the price is fair too. So i dont see any reason to give this airport the value it got on named magazine. Its a good airport. No masterpiece by far but a good airport.

DRZEWIECKI DESIGN - UUEE MOSCOW SHEREMETYEVO X V2 - FSX P3D

I like this airport a lot. While it doesnt use most detailed textures the overall level of details is stunning. One can see that probably lots of hours went into this one. Performance is great too, i use it with heavy airliners (ex PMDG 747, as Airbridgecargo base), with Moscow city, many addons (Rex, AS, etc) and pretty high settings and still get locked 30 fps on arrival without much problem. I took 1 star for the update price. 20 Euro (inc tax) as upgrade is quite heavy imo, despite it being basically a new airport. From a personal perspective i would have been ok without terminal inside modeling and the train area in this detail to get a bit better textures and detail on the gates but thats only me of course. There are also some buildings left that have very low texture resolution, these should be fixed. All in all im happy to have a good base for my cargo ops :-) I dont regret the upgrade.

BDOAVIATION - PHUKET INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FOR FSX & P3D

BDOAVIATION - PHUKET INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FOR FSX & P3D

Sadly the first P3D v4 airport for Thailand isnt the best work. Its not a very bad airport but it leaves much to be desired. While the terminal is not bad, the rest really lacks when compared to other new airports in this price-range. If one looks at lets say EGGP from Digitaldesign for example. The autogen around the airport is bad and doesnt fit Thailand, or Phuket. Its also sparse in some areas. The resolution of the photoground also isnt the highest and its not color corrected too. And that means that it doesnt fit well into the orbx landscape. The ground is low/medium resolution it seems and there are many better ones on the newer airport by this time. Volumetric grass looks medium too, other airports do a better job there. Nightlighting looks okish but also more in the lower range when compared to other airports. Besides dyn lighting it doesnt use any v4 features nor other nice things. The objects are sparse and have also lower res textures. Normally one could give 2 stars, i gave it 3 stars because Thailand was my home country for near a decade and i know this airport very well and love to fly here with the 747. Im happy we got Phuket for v4, thats the bonus star. PS: the airport was sunken in ground without an external patch that overwrites P3D/ORBX files. That too left a bitter taste. It can be fixed now though.

JUSTSIM - PALMA DE MALLORCA AIRPORT P3D4

JUSTSIM - PALMA DE MALLORCA AIRPORT P3D4

Good airport, blends in with ORBX pretty good. Very performant, enough objects for immersion and good textures. PBR looks good here, there are metal parts, "used" look objects, the runway/taxyway is detailed and has good textures too. There are some surroundings too but only the direct area of the airport. Also here everything is ok. Worthwile destination, far better than the other one available for P3D 4 but missing the island that one has.

PAULO RICARDO - VIRACOPOS INTL SBKP CAMPINAS P3D

Unbelievable big area included, spanning various cities/villages. The airport itself also looks very detailed with lots of objects for the eye to catch. PBR looks ok, nighttime has very good looking parts and some not so good looking ones. Still, this is pure bang for the bucks. The many objects, big surrounding area and amount of overall details make it more than a worthwhile scenery.

LEONARDO SOFTWARE HOUSE SRL - FLY THE MADDOG X MD-83 AND MD-88 P3D4-5

This just continues what is the best aircraft addon besides the FSL A320 on the P3D platform. An absolute masterpiece in many belongings. Not only that its fully modeled, now even with icing (and it works.... i crashed already from it) but it looks like no other plane in P3D looks. At least inside the cockpit. With realLight this beauty is real eyecandy and i would love if devs like PMDG or Majestic would put so much love into their models. PBR is a nice addon but atm the implemenation in P3D isnt the best yet tbh. But one can deactivate it in the settings so this cannot be an argument for less stars. I cannot express how amazed i am by this plane.... it really feels alive like no other i own. And that would be quite a lot. If you dont buy this plane you miss out on the absolute top what LMs P3D has to offer.

SIMBREEZE - ABU DHABI OMAA P3D4

Not good. Lets room for a lot of improvement. The airport feels completely empty. Missing of every detail when compared to nowadays standards. No objects, weak modeling and weak textures. At same time higher fps as some other scenery with high detail count. Dont buy if you dont need it.

29PALMS / CAPTAIN 7 - EDDN NUREMBERG P3D

Have to agree there mostly what the others said, this is a mustHave for p3d v4. The details are mindblowing. Sadly i cannot say the same about nighttime. Here the airport is lacking in the groundwork what makes dynamic lightning sadly not play its tricks out like it could. Ground has LOT of colored artefacts what really brings down the immersion in nighttime for me. This is something i dont understand really, nearly most of the devs nowadays get this right.

JUSTSIM - UUWW MOSCOW VNUKOVO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT P3DV4

Very very nice airport! JustSim gets better and better, its very clear. I would rate this at the best of this developer. EDDC was nice already but this one tops it in most areas. The textures are nice, on the buildings as well as on the ground. Dynamic lightning looks amazing in nighttime and has no performance loss on my system (1070 MSI and Intel 7700k). Sadly not many outes for the planes i fly but this is really a nice scenery and worth the money.

DIGITAL DESIGN - ULLI ST. PETERSBURG X V3 P3D4

DIGITAL DESIGN - ULLI ST. PETERSBURG X V3 P3D4

Another mindblowing scenery from DD... The city is stunning and has still nearly no impact on FPS. The new releases on P3D v4 really show whats going on on this platform. This designer entered the top-league at latest with LOWS, followed by the masterpiece GCTS and now this ULLI. Its fabulous in many regards. Yes, the textures of the building itself lack a bit (especially the brown roof lacks in material properties of v4 and modeling all over) but if one takes a look to the rest of the scenery one just has to get stunned and be immersed. The groundwork is stunning, objects are crisp in textures and have enough polygons to give immersion. If the textures would be a bit better on the Terminal itself it would be really nice but dont get me wrong its not something that one could call bad. But it looks a bit old compared to the rest of scenery. Well done.

RFSCENERYBUILDING - LIPZ VENICE MARCO POLO AIRPORT FSX P3D

Another good scenery for Italy. This developer gets better and better. It never reaches the level of the ones of top developers like FlyTampa, Flightbeam etc but it starts to get one of the better ones now. Starting from KOKC the sceneries got better and better and give enough feeling to fly there again next time. Textures are crisp, also on the ground and the surroundings are well modeled. Performance is very good. Its worth the money imo.

LATINVFR - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT KBWI FSX P3D4 P3D5

LATINVFR - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT KBWI FSX P3D4 P3D5

This is the best of LatinVFR yet. A big step forward from a scenery at KMIA level. I thank the devs for that. The ground modeling is amazing and really many many details are put in. In the grass parts near taxiways all the small hills and things are modeled. Thats really nice looking. Also the nightlighting looks really nice done. Ground is handled well here too and doesnt get all kinds of color-artefacts, like in other sceneries. A bigger part outside the airport is modeled too and also here the groundwork is simply amazing. The textures on the buildings are decent enough and inside modeling makes things even more impressive. I would give 4.5 Stars if possible. The one half star i take out because of the performance. Its sadly one of the slower sceneries. By no means bad but it hits harder as other aiports in this size and quality.

RFSCENERYBUILDING - LFKJ AJACCIO NAPOLEON BONAPARTE FSX P3D

Pretty good scenery, im happy. The surroundings are lovley implemented and will guarantee an interesting approach as well as arrival. Texures of the Airport buildings are a bit lowres, the clear focus seem on the overall look of the whole scenery, that comes with a nice area of phototerrain. That doesnt mean the buildings looks utterly ugly though, by no means. Its not a very big airport, so this is not the most important here. Textures of the runway and apron are ok, better as the building ones. The phtoground is good and does its job of giving the immersion needed in all weather situations Dynamic lightning works performant and overall is a nice addition. Just the typical problem that many addons have, the ground is pretty lit up. Too much imo. Overall worthwile scenery, if bought with reduced price its 100% suggested.

I cannot confirm this. I have a i5 7600 and a 1060 only and it runs perfectly smooth. For example, i cannot even fly on a DD KJFK or some other of the NY airportpack of DD (just to compare) These airport is nearly on the same level as a Flightbeam one, with some cuts in nighttime because some of the ground textures are colored a bit wiered. Now it got dynamic lightning, wich is also very performant. I run in niht in the pmdg 747 at 30 fps in the cockpit, with dynmaic lights enabled. Textures are very good and fps perfectly smooth. 8/10 would be my rating. With the cuts for nigthtime visuals.
