Reviews (by Roy)

Gosh I hate to sound like a cheerleader in these reviews. Before the release of FSX, most people wouldn't have expected to see something as good as this scenery released for FS2004. I have FSX, and a brand new computer to go with it...but let's not talk about my FSX woes here Ok? I'll just say that I didn't get a chance to look at the scenery after installing to FSX because I haven't built up the nerve to fool with that program just for the sake of curiosity. If you like other FlyTampa sceneries, you'll love this scenery as well. If you've never experienced any of the FlyTampa sceneries, here's a nice one to start with. This scenery is about more than object placement, it's about creating an enjoyable flightsim environment. AI boating and ground vehicles, terrain textures just add icing to the cake. Makes my longer than expected relationship with FS9 seem not so bad after all.

It's all about the frame rates when it comes to add on scenery. Fly San Diego didn't disappoint my P4 3.0G 1.5GB ram 256MB NVIDIA system...no negative impact noticed with my sliders all at their normal 80 percent. The airport itself is pretty small (true to life), but I think it is modeled very well from what I've seen from my many real life visits and passes by runway 27. I really liked the taxi to parking as the hangar doors open for my arrival! I would rank this product 3.999 out of 5 only because of the small area covered. FlyTampa should follow the model of SimFlyers with bundle offers and pricing. I would have gladly added another 10 bucks for San Francisco. I'll still get it...if i get around to it. If San Fran's sitting next to a new jet on display, it loses out...that's the scenery upgrade game...slow!
