SKYLINE SIMULATIONS - CINCINNATI INT. AIRPORT - MSFS

SKYLINE SIMULATIONS - CINCINNATI INT. AIRPORT - MSFS

This is a really good scenery with great FPS for been such a big airport. The terminals look amazing and the Amazon hub is extraordinary. There are a few things missing like a couple of taxiways, there is no parking set in the Amazon hub, and there is no night lighting in the DHL ramp when in reality is very bright at night; that is the reason I gave it 3 stars. They need to update and add at least lighting for the cargo ramp and parking for Amazon.

VERTICALSIM - KTPA - TAMPA INTERNATIONAL MSFS

This is VerticalSim best work so far. The airport and the surrounding areas look amazing. It shows a lot of effort were put into this scenery. I own a few products from this developer like KBOI, KSYR and KMYR and I always been disappointed with ground textures, they did a lot better in this scenery but still some ground textures are a little blurry. Also the scenery is harder on FPS than others the same size but barely noticeable (at least on my PC) and that is why I gave it 4 stars. But I do recommend this scenery; working for a major airline I fly to this airport at least once on a weekly basis and it is an exact match to the real one, the Ai follow the correct taxi paths (FsTraffic), the terminals and gates are very well done except on gate 80 which is to short and do not even reach my 737 even if park at the beginning of the gate parking line. I love flying at night in MSFS2020 but with this scenery I love approaching during day time because is so well done with the surrounding areas that looks too real. Its a must have if you like flying in and out of Florida.

FSXCENERY - KTLH TALLAHASSE FLA MSFS

A little disappointed with this scenery. I know compare to others is cheap but it looks kind of cartoonist and it have static jetways not moving jetways, which in default sceneries are standard. The developer does not specified that the scenery does not include moving jetways in the description and that is a bigger letdown. Besides that it looks good.

IMMERSIVE AUDIO - 737XU COCKPIT SOUND IMMERSION LITE P3D4.4-5

IMMERSIVE AUDIO - 737XU COCKPIT SOUND IMMERSION LITE P3D4.4-5

I have been waiting for this since the NGXu came out. I have it for the NGX and could not wait for the updated version. Combine with CFM immersion package is a must have. GPWS and warning sounds are crisp (love the new autopilot disconnect warning). Ground roll noise during take off and landing are amazing, if you are rolling out down the center line it sounds like you are really going over runway lighting. The new landing gear retract and deployment sounds are outstanding along with wind drag it is very realistic and much more. There are a few sounds missing that were included in the NGX but Immersion Audio told us this during development as the NGXu apparently uses a different sound system but can not complaint about the quality of this product. Very happy with the purchase and highly recommended.

IMMERSIVE AUDIO - 737NG CFM IMMERSION SOUNDPACK V2 FSX P3D

All I have to say is "WOW, that engine rumble or resonance!". I have this product since it came out for the NGX. But the new 2.1 version for the NGXu sounds incredible, it has so much richness that I had to lower my sound system bass, my sim set-up started shaking during take off as the bass speaker is underneath it. You can even FEEL and HEAR the different subtle changes in the resonance of the engines after take-off while on initial climb. This is what immersion should be about. Make sure you have a speakers with bass because you are going to enjoy this.

LATINVFR - FORT LAUDERDALE KFLL P3D

LATINVFR - FORT LAUDERDALE KFLL P3D

It was about time we have an updated version for Fort Lauderdale. LatinVFR did a great job here. The Pros: The terminals are beautifully modeled, for some reason I get better FPS than with default or the other payware scenery, dynamic lighting is great and the new ground physics on wet conditions is a welcome addition. The slope on runway 10R/28L looks impressive. If you have a traffic add-on, you will enjoy spotting when this airport comes to life, one of the best I've seen. The cons: runway and taxi lighting could be better, I have seen better on cheaper sceneries. There are few issues when taxing towards or from runway 28L that makes the nose of the aircraft jump a little, also the addition of FSSI for slope runways have cause problems to many when starting the simulator. LatinVFR is working right now on the update to fix the issue, until then the FSSI file should be erase if this problem happens and the scenery will work fine. I would have give it 3 stars instead of 4, but since LatinVFR is working to fix the major issues and they usually do what they promise, I gave it the 4 stars it deserve.

JUSTSIM - EBBR - BRUSSELS AIRPORT V2 P3D4.4+

JUSTSIM - EBBR - BRUSSELS AIRPORT V2 P3D4.4+

Stunning rendition of Brussels airport by JustSim. FPS are great (Majestic Q400, PMDG 737 NGXu and PMDG 747 v3 tested so far). Night illumination is great, a little exaggerated on approach as it stands out almost 20 miles away but gorgeous. The terminals are beautifully modeled, especially terminal one at night looks amazing. Is VDGS ready, nothing to do on the part of the user to make it functional like other sceneries required. Parking positions are well number, if you have Navigraph just follow your charts. I really have nothing negative to say about this scenery.

LATINVFR - MADRID LEMD P3D4 P3D5

LATINVFR - MADRID LEMD P3D4 P3D5

Consider this one of LatinVFR masterpieces. First, for such a massive airport I have no FPS drop at all (PMDG737 NGXu, 747v3 and Majestic Q400 so far tested). Unlike other sceneries, the parking's with GSX and VDGS are precise, no need to modify parking position manually at all. The gates are number exactly as in Navigraph charts, so choose your parking position in GSX after landing and just follow the charts to your gate(and there are a lot of gates, a lot!). The terminals are beautifully modeled with things that are no even in the description like glass elevators moving. Night illumination while not the best I have seen, its beautiful. Its kind of compatible with ORBX global, I said "kind of" because as you enter the scenery area you can see the change in colors, its subtle but still noticeable. My only complaint if any is that this airport have around 5 towers and you can only get tower view from only one. But that's easily fix with chase plane. I do not feel like taking any stars for the small things I pointed out, so it is a 5 star scenery.

SKYLINE SIMULATIONS - CINCINNATI INT. AIRPORT - KCVG FSX P3D

SKYLINE SIMULATIONS - CINCINNATI INT. AIRPORT - KCVG FSX P3D

This is a beautiful scenery which depict the love the developers put into it. FPS are good, match well with ORBX Global and FTX_NA OpenLC. Now why am I giving three stars instead of five. I took out one star due to the night illumination, this airport in real life at night is gorgeous, in this scenery is really dark and the other and most important because the package comes with no .exe, meaning all installation have to be done manually, it comes in a RAR file. I expect that from a freeware but from a payware it is ridiculous. I know how to manually install a scenery but the sode elements of the scenery which comes in a separate file took me for a loop to install, I have never install sode elements manually, it took me half hour to figure it out and some of the gates in concourse B are fully extended by default and I get a message that my aircraft is to far to connect the gate when it is park where its supposed to. Now, does its worth buying it? if you don't mind the cons I stated in the review yes, it is a really nice scenery and after the headache of installing it I'm happy with it but it needs an update for better night illumination and most important an installation .exe

VOR MEXICO STUDIOS - MMGL 2020 P3D

VOR MEXICO STUDIOS - MMGL 2020 P3D

The quality of this products seem ok so far, this is an airport I have wanted for a long time in P3D. I'm giving two stars because the description is misleading, this product is not in beta like the description says, its still in development, some buildings are still completely gray with no texture, the package comes without an .exe, you have to add the files manually to the root folder of your simulator and library and even if I know hot to do that, the package comes with no documents or instructions what so ever. I had to add the gates manually in the GSX2 customization menu because there were none. There are a few updates in the VOR Mexico website but since I bought it at SimMarket I have no access to them, I message VOR Mexico about it 5 days ago and yet no answer. I guess when its completed it will be a good product but for $27 US now its a little disappointing. My recommendation is, wait till this product is completed.

IMMERSIVE AUDIO - MJC8 Q400 COCKPIT SOUND IMMERSION FSX P3D

IMMERSIVE AUDIO - MJC8 Q400 COCKPIT SOUND IMMERSION FSX P3D

Great job by Immersive Audio. The new sounds are great, some of them are redundant like the condition levers which sounds like a normal click of any other bottom of the overhead panel. Fortunately is easy to replace the sounds you don't like with the default ones if you make a backup of the originals which is recommended in the manual before installation. The engines sound a lot better, specially reverse thrust, also the warning alarms and the GPWS are crystal clear. The GPU unit sounds like real life, I work for a GA airline and those sounds seems authentic. Its definitely a good improvement on the default sounds and the best like I said is that you can combine the default ones with the Immerse Audio if you don't like some of them.

REX - REX 5 - WORLDWIDE AIRPORTS HD FSX P3D

REX - REX 5 - WORLDWIDE AIRPORTS HD FSX P3D

Its a really nice upgrade for default airports and frame rate friendly. Have not take a look at VAS use as I have only tried it in P3D. The taxiways and runways textures are better than in Texture Direct 4. The difference between runways and taxiways lighting are also better than in Texture Direct 4. If you have REX products already, the interface will be really familiar. I didn't gave it 5 stars because some major airports are not upgraded, like KLAX, KJFK, LFPG etc. Its understandable in some part since those airports use different default textures than the rest of the airports as FSX and P3D tried to recreate those airports to look a little like in real life, so the textures are different than the rest of the airports, also the control towers remain default, but I have really enjoy flying to default airports with this. I do recommend this product as long as you don't mind some major airports remaining with default textures and you get a little nice discount if you have purchased REX products before from SimMarket.

A2A SIMULATIONS - CHEROKEE 180 FSX ENTERTAINMENT

A2A SIMULATIONS - CHEROKEE 180 FSX ENTERTAINMENT

Amazing work by A2A Simulations. If you own the A2A C172 and like it, you are going to love this one. Accu-sim brings again the debt of simulation in FSX a step up. But if you think because you master the A2A C172 you are going to be an ace in this one, you are sadly mistaken. A2A is not like other developers of similar planes which their products behave like they are the same, this planes does not fly like the C172 at all; is a completely different experience. Some of the flying characteristic and system of the plane took me for a loop but a friend of mine who is a real airline pilot and flew this plane in real life told me, that is exactly how the plane should behave. This is FSX realism at its best and you will not be disappointed by getting it. My only complaint is that some of the liveries the package includes are not to my liking. I know this is an old plane but does not mean the liveries should look old school too, but that is my personal opinion. The good news is that a bunch of re-painters are already working on new liveries for this beautiful bird and they are looking great.

TAXI2GATE - POINTE-À-PITRE LE RAIZET AIRPORT TFFR FSX P3D

TAXI2GATE - POINTE-À-PITRE LE RAIZET AIRPORT TFFR FSX P3D

The second released of the year for Taxi2Gate. Having two development teams really help this group. But don't be fool by that fact, the difference in development between the two groups is non existence. This is another home run for Taxi2Gate, the quality of this scenery is incredible. The main terminal looks so real is unbelievable and the night lighting is astonishing, you will have a hard time deciding if you want to fly during the day or night. Pointe-à-Pitre is a great addition if you are an island hopper like me, but it also brings you the opportunity to do your long hauls with an A380 ready gate and a long runway to take off and land that beast. If you worry that the quality of this scenery might bring your FPS down, worry no more because its optimize to give you great performance. I had no FPS hit in my system even with high end aircrafts and my scenery settings high. The airport is not the only thing modeled in this product, it also have the airport's surrounding which is great for you to take the ultralight and discover all the nice things in town.

LATINVFR - SAN JUAN TJSJ FSX P3D FS2004

LATINVFR - SAN JUAN TJSJ FSX P3D FS2004

Wow, what an amazing job by LatinVfr. I work right next to the airport (to the left of runway 8)and the building were I work and the surrounding ones are depicted accurately. From "Pueblo" Supermarket, the Intercontinental hotel, the Ritz and the multi floor parking garage were I park my car everyday right behind the Astraliz apartments (which are also in the scenery). LatinVfr also place all the reference points you'll see while approaching the airport in real life, from the biggest mall in the island "Plaza Las Americas", the baseball park next to it and the Coliseum of Arts. I can write about how wonderful the airport looks, but is LatinVfr, we know how well they develop airports, but I got to say, terminal A at night is breathtaking. There are many , many more things to discover in this scenery, specially if you know the area that it will take me an entire page of the simmarket website to point them out. I can not thank LatinVfr enough for finally giving San Juan Intl. the update it desperately needed.
