Reviews (by keith)

I would also say don't be persuaded by the on-line comparison review. Thank you Justsim. This is another welcome airport for me, having flown in there before. Justsim never make me spend half-hour with a configurator, testing what my computer can handle. What I get just works. Their ground textures are great, No 'over-saturated' red-lines for instance. All the artwork is correct and sound. The airport is always working correctly when I get there. Justsim don't disrupt my flights with scripting error messages. Justsim don't put files all over my computer. It's up to a developer to decide what level of complexity is suitable. It's a sensible valid choice to limit the complexity to a 'practical' level. If I can't get 30fps, I won't fly there, because the feeling of smooth flight outweighs other bells and whistles. I also don't want to pay a fortune for complexity that I can't use (even on my high-level computer). They might not be for everybody, that's also a valid choice. It's a personal thing. For me this is just the level I'm after and I'm never disappointed. Keith

I reviewed this, when it was released as a 3 star product The concerns I had about this scenery have all been addressed by the 1.15 update This is now a genuine 5 star product. Good representation of the airport (which I know well) and amazing performance, given the size and location of the airport. Great work. Keith

There's lots of good things about this addon, with more work it can be a five star airport- but there's some things that need sorting. If you look at the North Terminal for example, the contrast between windows and the panelling should be strong. The windows should be quite dark- look at any photo of the airport. All that contrast (which is on the texture) has been lost once the specs are applied and the windows become almost the same tone as the panel. Fix this and there will be a massive visual improvement. You just need to darken the alpha on the specs, but by a substantial amount. The grass colour is nuts for the UK. It rains here sometimes! The grass should be green not yellow. Grass is generally darker than concrete and probably as dark as the asphalt. This is much too light. More specifically, I think the expectation nowadays is that grass colours should match ORBX global texture colours and tone. Once that grass is darkened there will be another big improvement in appearance- it's quite a big issue. Night-lighting is poor, essentially because the buildings are too bright. Darker is always a safer option. I have some texture anomalies. The runway changes colour on peripheral views. This may or may not be down to the product. Some flashing elsewhere..... BUT---- texturing is sharp, performance is very very good, airport layout seems correct. So many examples of excellent work. This has potential to be fantastic- but please fix the above.. Keith

In a key area, ie the bank next to the terminal, it has very low resolutions. The bank has been grassed up to good effect below the carpark, but beyond that it stops- why? It needs a grass layer to divert the eye from low resolutions throughout (Corvo at least has some 3d grass). The terminal building is too dark and lacks any contrast- in fact, it is a colour balance problem as the white bits are looking blue. I did see that in the screenshots but I thought I would be able to fix it myself, unfortunately the texture seems to be hidden in a BGL. In spring and winter it has bright colours in the hill side. I disabled the autogen to see that it had the words spring and winter written on it in bright colours! When are TS going to use DDS textures? I like some TS scenery. I can't believe a developer that has produced excellent work like TNCA and TNCC would make this. Just not good enough for 2019. Keith
