Ok so I am giving this a solid 5. Here's why. I think/hope he is going to continue to update this mod. It feels like it can grow and grow. It's fantastic. Bora Bora is so fleshed out now!! Loving it. This is my recommendation for CLI4D. Keep going with the Tahitian Islands. Own it! It yours. No one else is doing it and it's such an amazing place. Next stop Moorea, pretty please with a cherry on top!!! I would love to see Moorea. Great Job. Don't hesitate to buy if you are on the fence. Its great!!

I have been waiting for the patch to come out before reviewing this. I knew the sound issue would be fixed and this plane would shine after. The new patch really opens this plane up to be one of my defaults right now. It is so fun to fly. It just responds so well and is a blast to fly around in. It is totally worth the asking price now that it is patched and many of the issues have been fixed!! I love it!! Sound is fixed and many other upgrades!!! It's a great plane!!! And i have bought many!! I can't stop flying it right now.

Really some fantastic liveries by Robi! They are top notch and really look fabulous. It's so nice to have some livery options for this plane since it is so fun to fly. Robi did a fantastic job and I highly recommend this addon!! You will not regret it. Each one is unique and really well done! Thank you!

I bought this on Microsoft Marketplace but thought I would leave a review here since I buy here a good amount too. My goodness 5 stars 5 stars 5 stars. They give you the moon and back for 10 US dollars equivalent. It's stunning. Amazing. The greatest value on MSFS addons. Your company just rocks. I am so supportive of you and wish the best for your future endeavors. Thank you!!!! Such an amazing airport at an amazing price. Keep it up!!! I will definitely be buying from you. Night lighting is fantastic. Airport is fantastic. Immersion is fantastic!! For 10 bucks!!! Amazing !!!!!

Wow!! This might be Samscene's best ever!! This is just absolutely stunning and so robust. There is so much to it. So much to see. So much to discover!! It is stunning. Get this and the VTBS and/or VTBD addons (look them up), and you are in bliss. I highly recommend this one. It is just fantastic!!!

Fantastic Plane. Really enjoying this one. A great STOL plane. They did a really good job with the physics, engine sounds and overall realism and feel of the flight. Be careful. You can't go too fast with this one :) Love the top curtain and look and feel of the cockpit! Exterior and interior sounds are well balanced and pleasing. Views in both modes are great too. Thumbs up with a very good price point.

Well I am giving this a 5. I love Tampa now! It's because of this addon, and also the additional free Tampa city addon offered on Vertical Sims website. I mean this addon is very immersive. I absolutely love when they have trains and buses all over the airport showing the transportation of people. It's amazing how much is going on, and I am not having any FPS issues. Sure, it doesn't have some of the interior eye candy as others, but it still deserves 5 stars. I get it. There are other airports out there that have insane exterior and interior models. Klax from IniScene comes to mind. Those airports are like 5+, but I judge a 5 on how immersed I am and how much I want to fly the airport. Tampa, I had no interest in flying. Now since I bought the airport, I want to be there all the time. Much like Miami from LFVR, I love flying there now. Its blows me away. All the trains and buses passing through. It has so much immersion. Immersion is the key for me. Does it make me feel the like airport is alive and happening. Hell, yes Tampa does. Others do too, and maybe with more impressive expressions, but at the same time, this one is very impressive. It deserves the 5. Get it. You won't regret it. And don't forget to get the free city addon on their website.

A fantastic Scenery worth every Penny. What I love so much about this airport is that not only did SiamFlight do a fantastic job at the main airport, but they did much more. I love when developers take some time to also include some of the surrounding scenery in order to make it a complete experience and SiamFlight did just that. From The Wat Huai Sai Tai Temple in the south, to many hotels and condos along the coastline, to the Vana Nava Water Jungle water park at the Holiday Inn in the north, they included it and are looking to expand in future revisions. So, I have to give it to them for that. This is a great addon at the price point. VTBS from them is out of this world, like a solid 5 star, but this airport is too, because of the attention to detail in the surrounding geography in addition to the airport. Price point is great, and no fps problems at all. Highly recommend it.

Couple things to know about this mod. One TFFJ doesn't work with SA Mesh. The Asobo or Airworthy Designs version of TFFJ doesn't work. This has nothing to do with this mod. The Asobo TFFJ doesn't work either. Constant texture problems with St Barts. Has to do exclusively with the SA Mesh from Orbx. I wrote a ticket about it with Orbx. Secondly. Its compatibility with the Sea Front Simulations StMartinStBarts mod. Wow we have been loving this Sea Front Mod with the Airworthy Designs TNCM mod for a long time if you are in the know, but it doesn't work with TFFJ well. So a work around is to go into the seafront-sightseeing-vessels-anguillamartinbarts mod then go to scenery. Then go to seafront-anguillamartinbarts directory and delete the following subdirectory. "stbarts1" This will fix the flattening buildings with both addons installed. It unfortunately removes the big cruise ship and some of the boats on the eastern end of the island which kind of sucks, but it may be a good trade off to all the flattened buildings on the western side if it is enabled. Your choice. I chose no cruise ship. The buildings are pretty annoying. Not sure what stbarts2 covers but so far I left it intact. Hopefully the two addons can talk and coexist without this fix, but for now it's a golden fix if you want to enjoy both add ins. I feel that the fix is a must, since the seafront addin sings with the TNCM addon from Airworthy Designs and i would rather not disable it. Hopefully we can find a sweet spot with their TFFJ addon also. For now, this fix addresses the problem of the flattening buildings without entirely removing the mod. It just strips out a portion of the mod. The cruise ship on the other side :(. Take care everyone. L

I bought this one through the Microsoft Store, but leaving a review here, nevertheless. Hopefully they will allow it since I am a customer :) Wow! A great addon. Fantastic detail and I absolutely love the moving trees. Very Immersive. FPS is fantastic and the overall attention to detail is great. Definitely recommend and worth the purchase. Very immersive.

Wow! This plane is fantastic! The sounds as others have said are amazing. One of the coolest sounding planes available. Flight Dynamics are really nice. So much control and responsiveness. Plane is a pleasure to fly. Landing and take off are really great with very nice rudder control. The cockpit is very immersive and there are some cool lighting options. Tablet map is really cool. I am not getting any of the clicking mentioned in other reviews. This must have been fixed. When switching from chase plane to cockpit view, I do get a weird graphics glitch (black flash) really quick the first time switching between the two, but nothing after that. I really just enjoy flying the plane. Definitely a go to plane when you just want to have a good time and fly around VFR style, diving and climbing all over the place. It really is solid and for the price. Wow, its worth it! Thumbs up! Enjoy it.

I really love this Plane. This and Br Sim Design's H35 Vtail are just fantastic. Some of the best engine vibration effects and prop effect i have seen. Flight model is great and the plane is such a joy to fly. I have both and they are a part of my regular rotation. This one is unique in its design. Definately worth it! You won't regret it.

Fantastic Addon. Really adds a tremendous amount to the Hawaiian Islands to see the mountains in this level of detail. Ray Taburet and his Team respond to questions very quickly and they are continuously updating the addon to iron out any bugs found and to streamline the frame rate etc. Really impressed with their dedication to the Add on and also its quality. Definitely worth adding this one to your collection. Aloha!

I really like this plane. It is super fun to fly. I have never flown a H35 V-Tail so I can't attest to how accurate it is, but I have bought quite a few planes addons and this one is really fun to fly. It handles well, the models are good. The cockpit is interactive and not just static. The lighting is really well done in the cockpit. The Tablet Nav map is cool. I like it. Been flying it quite a bit. That is usually a good sign for me. Sometimes I buy a plane and then don't fly it much. This one I have been enjoying. It needs some tweaks here and there graphically, and some improvements on the prop animation and the reflections off the blade, but it flies well. I hope the developers keep supporting it and making it better with bug fixes and graphical enhancements, which will lead to other good plane addons too.

This is a really great add-on to increase immersion. I got the West Coast to start and am going to be adding Southeast shortly and probably Northeast after that. It is very cool. Pigeons on the tarmac. A flock of seagulls as you take off next to the ocean. Geese in your peripheral vision as you make a turn in Alaska. A shadow of a birds cast on the runway as your landing at an airport. Haven't seen an eagle yet, but I am sure I will soon. I love immersion addons and this is a great one. I hope they keep improving it and adding to it. If the developers are taking requests, I would love to see a larger variety of birds, varied movement patterns in the flocks, and birds based on the region would be awesome. Thanks so much for a really unique and cool addon. Worth the price.
