FSDG - CASABLANCA MSFS24/20
FSDG remarkably misses the opportunity to outperform its payware competition with this rendition, especially considering the competing Casablanca scenery dates back to very early MSFS2020 days. While the main passenger terminals, VIP terminal, and the Royal Air Maroc maintenance hangar are modelled with slightly more detail, this is where the praise largely ends. Even the RAM hangar includes long-retired aircraft types such as the 747-200 and 737 Classics, which immediately undermines realism. Five years after the first payware Casablanca release, FSDG still fails to surpass an increasingly dated product. Overall texturing is uninspiring and often poor, with ground textures standing out as particularly weak and inaccurate. The terminals lack custom jetways, something the competing scenery already offered in 2020, forcing reliance on GSX, which requires additional setup before each flight. Some of the gates miss jetways or the jetways are completely misplaced. It goes without saying that there is no GSX custom profile. Parking positions are improperly labelled, leading to erratic AI traffic behaviour. Cargo and remote apron areas are sparsely detailed and contain numerous inaccuracies... While two future high-speed taxiways are included, they do little to offset the current shortcomings. Overall, this scenery does not justify its $17 price tag, especially for users who already own the competing payware version.
