TAXI2GATE - VARADERO MUVR FSX

TAXI2GATE - VARADERO MUVR FSX

Well, this obviously is a porting of the FS2004 stuff to FSX. Does'nt work men. Whenever you edit the (ridiculous original) AFD file, you kill the scenery: the runway sinks below... I've tried to determine which layer... no success. I had to uninstall that scenery. Save your money and don't buy that.

BDOAVIATION - CAEN CARPIQUET INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FSX P3D5

BDOAVIATION - CAEN CARPIQUET INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FSX P3D5

Nice, accurate rendition of that small international airport located in Normandy, France. Easy, reliable installation. Convenient place for regional aircrafts to depart to/arrive from airports in the UK I've dropped one star because of the following: 1. the ADEX file is missing the required hold short taxi point for the AI traffic be actually active. No AI traffic departure - it vanishes from parking at the time of departure - nor AI traffic arrival - it vanishes when entering the exit taxiway. You've gotta edit the faulty file through ADEX. 2. Very VAS demanding addon - 800 Mb of VAS on my system - for a somewhat small airport. FSX uesr, be warned: don't ever try to land at tha BDOA's airport with those VAS hungry aircrafts like the Carenado's or the Flight1's. Do go for those 100% VAS efficient aircrafts like the Majestic Dash8-Q400... and others. Cheers folks, Frank My system: FSX Gold Edition, 8-core i7 4770 CPU (3.4 GHz) + 32 Mb of DDR7 RAM on Win7/64, nVidia GTX 780 3Mb graphics card.

PREALSOFT - ALGIERS AIRPORT DAAG FSX P3D

PREALSOFT - ALGIERS AIRPORT DAAG FSX P3D

Very pleasant rendition of DAAG as it was in 2016 before the terminal 1 extension was completed (still under works in the present rendition). Excellent, timely support from Nassim who within 2-3 hours provided me with the v1.1 upgrade that removes the works barriers blocking the access to/from runway 09/27. Only 4 stars to sanction the static only jetways... and a perfectible afcad file. I do recommend purchasing Casablanca GMMN airport and this DAAG rendition from the same developper to those who are ready for a cool 1:20 flight from/to those two airports in the Arab Maghreb Union area.

RICHER SIMULATIONS - CARIBSKY: TBPB 2020 FSX P3D

RICHER SIMULATIONS - CARIBSKY: TBPB 2020 FSX P3D

Very nice scenery and outstandingly reliable installer: it does the job VERY well, whatever the location you're installing the scenery in. Patching the scenery for accommodating (so-called) FSX legacy requirements works like a charm. Prompt and efficient support from Zev who responded by return email and fixed the (supposed) issue I had with ground textures. By the way, don't forget to check for available update and run the update utility from the scenery configuration tool after the scenery is installd for the first time. Congrats and tyhans to Richer Simulations.

TFDI DESIGN - 717

TFDI DESIGN - 717

Well, this might well be one of the 1-3 best ever addon aircrafts for FSX (I'm still running FSX+Acc). I was a bit hesitating to purchasing this aircraft after the series of somewhat negative comments about the TFDI B717 first release. This is the latest v1.1 version and I can tell you it works fine in (almost) any kind of weather conditions (have'nt experienced the heavy stormy weather conditions, only severe air turbulence conditions). There still are minor imperfections here and there - reversed inner and outer Xponder left knob and a (very) few alike - but the thing is remarkably accurate and reliable: LAT and VERT auto nav, autothrottle (AFS), flight profile and related fuel consumption... everything. When you think this is there FIRST aircraft development... a lesson to some other self-proclaimed experienced developers (have you ever tried the CRJ from some major editor you may know?). On the downside, VAS requirements are significant and hardly accept higher LOD radius at demanding airports like FT Copenhagen or AS Frankfurt. A strong A+ to their installer: It does everything really well and the interface/inter-communication part of this TDFI product does outstand any other to date. You can rely on it, it does the job on its own (which looked frightening to me at the time of istallation) but it does it well and clean (just check your registry after the installation: clean job). I do recommend this aircraft. My system: FSX+Acc, Win7/64, Quad core i7 4770 @ 3.9 GHz, Nvidia Gforce 780 GTX with 3 Gb memory, 32 Gb RAM, UTX Europe V2, Pilot's FS Global Real Weather, Pilot's FS Global Ultimate EUR+AFR (set to 1m resolution).

AEROSOFT - TRONDHEIM- VAERNES X 2.0 FSX P3D

AEROSOFT - TRONDHEIM- VAERNES X 2.0 FSX P3D

I'm an FSX user (I know, should be sorry about that) and I purchased this ENVA addon scenery from Aerosoft. I'm (almost) only purchasing scenery addons from simMarket now (well, AS has changed quite a bit after so many years of superior support an deliveries), i.e. when possible. Whichever company you purchase it from, this is the same product, though, and this is my comments about it. IMO, this is the best ever product that AS has released so far - with EDDF. Crisp textures (2048), nice, accurate surrounding rendition with still sustainable VAS (with PMDG's), outstanding fell of this airport (I've been business travelling to/from so many times). A definite MUST HAVE for those who like flying to/from Scandinavia.

JETSTREAM DESIGNS - NANTES ATLANTIQUE FSX

Again an excellent work by Jetstream Designs. LFRS is my hometown airport and I'm travelling from/to it so many times... as real as it gets; you "feel" it as it actually is. Very detailed, accurate, nice his res textures and easy on VAS. A must have. Keep up the pace Jetstream Designs team! What's next?
