TROPICALSIM-2 - KANSAS CITY INTL KMCI V2 MSFS

TROPICALSIM-2 - KANSAS CITY INTL KMCI V2 MSFS

This was a much-anticipated sight for many aviation fans. As an MCI enthusiast, I'd like to thank Tropical Sim for creating this scenery. Having said that, there are some details missing from this scenery. The first and most crucial consideration is the terminal's size. The terminal is larger in real life, and it is not scaled correctly; the old terminal scenery created by Tropical Sim WAS perfectly sized. Then there are the gates. The heavy gates are not modeled, and they do not appear as they do in real life, which is unfortunate. The interior is nice, however, the lighting at night is terrible. I really wish the lighting was better; it looks nothing like it does at night in real life; however, the old terminals that Tropical Sim created DID resemble the terminals at night. Finally, the airport textures—the terminal from the outside looks nothing like it does in real life; it just seems like dark wood on the outside, which a simple investigation and thorough dig into images will show you what it REALLY looks like. MOST IMPORTANTLY, I am asking for a lot; I am going into minor details because this is my home airport, I have a huge connection with the terminal, and I really wanted to scale this to the real thing. Overall, the scenery is good but not outstanding, and I appreciate that Tropical Sim took the effort to create this scenery.
