DOMINICDESIGNTEAM - KBNA NASHVILLE INTL AIRPORT MSFS20

DOMINICDESIGNTEAM - KBNA NASHVILLE INTL AIRPORT MSFS20

Lovely terminal area is a very nice upgrade over the other offering available for KBNA. However, there is a glaring typo in the terminal interior that any Nashville native will spot immediate: the name of the restaurant is Acme Feed * Seed (NOT "Speed"). The ground textures around the central apron need work, as do the connector roads into and out of the main terminal. As noted by others, it would be nice if the terrain around the taxiways leading to/from Runway 02R/20L were properly sculpted to show the overpasses. If those issues are corrected or at least worked on and improved, I'd bump my review up to 5 stars. ALSO: this airport desperately needs a talented person to build a proper GSX profile. As it is, thinks are rather wonky in that regard. It would have been nice of the developer had followed common modern practice and included a profile somewhere in the installation.

Agree with the above from "Daniel." The scenery is reasonably well-modeled, and with no interiors, performance is great. Lighting is a little basic but much better than stock. Nice to see the fuel farm, ARFF station and VOR modeled, along with the taxiway overpasses modeled, though the roads underneath have not been adjusted very completely. There are some amusing static items like construction equipment around the former drainage basin which is being filled and paved over as part of the billion dollar-plus airport reconstruction, but oddly some Navy (USMC?) F/A-18s parked over near the military side, which are not appropriate for the site. The military hangars also still reference the former TN ANG C-130 wing over there, but do have Army Nat'l Guard copter statics. The airport is also missing the main ATC tower, which is plainly visible on Google Maps (labeled as US Sector Radar Unit, complete with a pretty nice ground level photo). That would be a good addition. All in all, much better than the stock autogen but could be improved.

Excellent little airport with really nice area scenery of the surrounding village, piers and landscape. While I agree that some of the textures could be improved, it's still a very nice bit of model-building overall. My one substantive complaint is that the two ends of the runway are reversed when displayed on the MSFS World Map. That is, the southeast-facing runway is labeled on the World Map as Runway 29, and the northwest-facing runway is labeled as Runway 11. If you're starting cold & dark at a gate or ramp, this is no big deal. But if you spawn on a runway for a quick VFR flight or to test a new aircraft, this is confusing and should be corrected.

RKBRIDGER - NEW YORK CITY BRIDGES MSFS

Really like this package. Combined with the Samscene 3D New York City Times package, Manhattan is truly a magical place to fly in MSFS. I would rate it 5 stars but the impact on FPS cannot be ignored for those with lower-end systems. Although I have an i7 11th gen CPU and 3070, there is still about a 5-7 fps impact with this installed as compared to the Samscene package alone. So although this performance impact does not really reduce my personal enjoyment, it is something that must be considered if someone is running the sim on marginal hardware and waiting/hoping for GPU prices to return to some semblance of "normal" again.

Anti-Piracy Warning

Protecting Your Purchase

The flight simulation add-ons you are purchasing are legally protected and copyrighted on an international level. This ensures that the creators' rights are upheld and their innovative work is safeguarded.

Why Piracy Hurts Everyone

Piracy undermines the dedication and creativity of developers. When you download or distribute pirated add-ons, it impacts the creators' ability to continue producing high-quality content. This affects the entire community by reducing the availability of new features and updates.

Consequences of Piracy

  • Legal Risks: Engaging in piracy can lead to severe legal consequences, including fines and prosecution.

  • Lack of Support: Unauthorized copies do not receive official support or updates, leading to potential issues and vulnerabilities.

How You Can Help

  1. Purchase Legitimately: Always buy add-ons from authorized sellers like SimMarket to ensure you receive authentic products.
  2. Report Piracy: If you encounter pirated add-ons, report them to the authorities or the original creators.
  3. Educate Others: Spread awareness about the negative impacts of piracy and encourage others to support developers by purchasing legitimate copies.
