BARELLI MSFS ADDON - HAAB ADDIS ABABA INTL AIRPORT MSFS24/20

BARELLI MSFS ADDON - HAAB ADDIS ABABA INTL AIRPORT MSFS24/20

It's nice to see developers taking on African hubs. As a PMDG 737 and 777 user, Bole is a wonderful addition. I have also been here on leisure and find this rendering to be very accurate. I went ahead and bought Barelli's Zanzibar and Gaborone sceneries too. One suggestion is for darker colors for the unlit parts of the apron at night. Hopefully Barelli develops Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport for us to have more options in Africa.

MFSG - MANAUS INTL SBEG MSFS24/20

MFSG - MANAUS INTL SBEG MSFS24/20

This is my first purchase from MFSG, which has made some airports for MSFS 2020 that interest me. However, I have not seen too many reviews. I took a risk with Manaus because I want to grow my Brazilian options. I've been to this airport twice. The scenery does a very good job recreating it, and there are nice touches like the derelict aircraft. That said, the taxiway slope between the ramp and runway threshold is missing, but that can be easily recreated these days. Hopefully, the developer makes some updates, and I will consider buying other MFSG airports.

FSXCENERY - FVFA VICTORIA FALLS AIRPORT MSFS

FSXCENERY - FVFA VICTORIA FALLS AIRPORT MSFS

The developer copied and pasted billboards from another scenery. I find it hard to believe Southwest Airlines would have a billboard in Victoria Falls. Poor alignment with jetways and parking spots too. Comes across as a very lazy project overall, and that's a shame since this is a popular tourist spot.

PAULO RICARDO - AIRPORT SBRJ (SDU) RIO DE JANEIRO  MSFS

PAULO RICARDO - AIRPORT SBRJ (SDU) RIO DE JANEIRO MSFS

I've been using Paulo Ricardo's sceneries for many years, and now with MSFS 2020 and the release of the PMDG 737, flying in and out of SBRJ is pure joy. When I lived in Brazil, I got to experience a few B737 and A319 flights, which is always a treat. The entire scenery sets a very high standard for MSFS. I understand one of the future World Updates will feature Brazil. They won't need to do anything in Rio since Paulo Ricardo has it covered!

SIMBREEZE - ABU DHABI OMAA P3D5

Great to have a big Middle East hub updated to P3D5! My only suggestion is for the developer to fix parking codes at the new terminal. Currently I use AI traffic that includes Etihad Airways, but the planes only park in the old terminal or in remote parking, while the new one is always empty.

JUSTFLIGHT - TRAFFIC GLOBAL FOR FSX P3D3-5

JUSTFLIGHT - TRAFFIC GLOBAL FOR FSX P3D3-5

Very simple installation and lots of traffic variety. The interface is also easy to use. I run 60% airline and 15% general aviation traffic to keep my excellent FPS on my high end system. I noticed that 100% in each category decreases my FPS by five to seven. My Specs: Processor: Intel Core i9 6700K 9900K (5.0 GHz Turbo) Eight Core CPU Cooling: NXXT Kraken X62 280mm CPU Liquid Cooler System Memory: 64GB Corsair DDR4 SDRAM @ 3200 MHz, RGB Graphics Processor: 11GB Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, GDDR6 Primary Drive: 2TB Samsung 850 Pro Solid State Drive (SSD)

PKSIM - BOGOTA SKBO P3D4 P3D5

PKSIM - BOGOTA SKBO P3D4 P3D5

Much needed pax/cargo hub in the Americas! Great work by PKSIM! The developer is also responsive to bugs and pushed out a new installer within a couple of days of release. The only thing I would suggest is adding the main skyscrapers in downtown Bogota to give the area even more realism.

PKSIM - SAN ANDRES & PROVIDENCIA P3D3-5

PKSIM - SAN ANDRES & PROVIDENCIA P3D3-5

I was not aware of the existence of PKSIM. I have flown quite a bitin and out of Colombia and within that country for 40 years. I got used to another developer providing Colombian airports, but that company has not done anything with P3Dv4. I'm very happy PKSIM has taken on much-needed Colombian airports. I have all four of their P3Dv4 airports. The visuals are very good and realistic with little impact on performance. The only detail I don't like is the grass texture, but a configurator allows uses to turn it on and off, as well as other features like static aircraft, dynamic lighting, etc. I hope they develop a major hub like SKBO in the near future!

FSIMSTUDIOS - TOCUMEN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT MPTO PANAMA CITY P3D

I was not aware of this developer, and I can only say I'm very impressed. I've flown to this airport in real-life, and it is a much-needed hub in the flight simulator community, especially with its recent terminal expansion. The visuals are very good and provide smooth performance when I use my Copa Airlines depiction of my PMDG 737. I look forward to more from FSimStudios!

WF SCENERY STUDIO - BEIJING CAPITAL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ZBAA P3D4

WF SCENERY STUDIO - BEIJING CAPITAL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ZBAA P3D4

I did not know this scenery developer existed. Another developer has been working on ZBAA for a long time, and I'm glad to see some competition and faster turn around. I like having large international hubs in my simulator, and this is a great addition. I only fly the PMDG 737, 777, and 747 and also have AI traffic. The FPS can drop to 15 in some parts of the airport with all these add-ons, but overall it works well and has good visuals. The developer released a service pack for dynamic lights one day after release, which shows good customer service dedication. I hope they can find some ways to make FPS a little faster. I made these departure and arrival videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEGN9ye1Mkw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h82W_SfHARA

NMG SIMULATIONS - CAPE TOWN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FSX P3D X-PLANE 10.5

NMG SIMULATIONS - CAPE TOWN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FSX P3D X-PLANE 10.5

I wanted to do some realistic flying in South Africa with my PMDG NGX for kulula.com and SAA, so I decided to buy the four 2012 airports from NMG - FAJS, FACT, FALA, and FALE without knowing anything about the developer. I am pleasantly surprised. The airports look great with lots of details. If they develop updated versions of their older airports, I will certainly buy from them again!

FLYTAMPA - TAMPA REBOOTED V.2 FS2004 FSX P3D

Fantastic job! I've flown in and out of KTPA many times. The realism is incredible in this package. Very flexible on options, especially turning volumetric grass on and off. As a loyal customer, I ask the FlyTampa team to please reboot all their FS2004 airports to FSX!
