SXAIRPORTDESIGN - BIRMINGHAM-SHUTTLESWORTH MSFS

First off, thanks for the update to MSFS. The airport gives a good feel as you're really there. The surrounding area is detailed well, except for the middle of the airport and ramps. There is a issue with the taxiway between A5 and A. The ground is uneven and you can actually see it in the sim and the 2nd picture for the preview of KBHM. Overall, not bad but it needs some work.

SLH SIM DESIGNS - TXKF L F WADE BERMUDA INTL AIRPORT MSFS

Last time I flew in to Bermuda it was in P3D v5. LVFR did a great job with the fsx/p3d platform. This is a much, more detailed step up from fsx/p3d legacy scenery. Perfect blend with the surrounding scenery. I did notice a flicker on the glass of the new terminals but I'm sure they will correct that. Challenging approaches, beautiful scenery and well-placed static objects. A few hours from Boston, Miami and Charlotte. A must buy!

FSXCENERY - KSAV SAVANNAH-HILTON INTL AIRPORT MSFS

A good rendition of KSAV airport. New terminal, tower and buildings look like the real airport. The textures are lacking however. At gates you can notice it right away. The windows to the terminal are dated and not up to par with MSFS 2020 default textures. Some jetways are missing from gates as well. The customs building and the parking next to it is missing. The car parks are good but the vehicles are sunken in the building partially. Overall, a decent update but it has room for improvement. 3 stars.

TAXI2GATE - KMCO P3D4-5

I have to admit I was a bit skeptical. However, the new update to KMCO is clearly seen. There are some texture anomalies/flickering on the ground but I'm sure it will be fixed with the next update. I did a comparison from the older FSX to P3D v5 and it's very different, better and a must have. Thanks T2G!

TAXI2GATE - MMMX MEXICO CITY XTREME FSX

Despite not being available for P3D v4+, this is still a really good airport. I configure some files to work with ORBX HD buildings and in my opinion the overall surrounding area looks better. The scenery package has a lot buildings but they have elevation issues. So if you set .off to some of the files you can use default or ORBX South American LC. So for this I give it 4 stars.

DRZEWIECKI DESIGN - SEATTLE AIRPORTS X FOR FSX P3D

I was a bit hesitant getting this since I had another KSEA, but I love that DD has updated their airports and continue to maintain accuracy of current and past airports they release. I love the new sky bridge that is 85 ft in height which is something previous versions didn't implement. The scenery absolutely works with ORBX, Pilot's Ultimate Terrain and Seattle City X.

DRZEWIECKI DESIGN - WARSAW CITY X FSX P3D

Outstanding photorealistic scenery that blends well with ORBX. It adds more detail than ORBX (obviously). The city is very beautiful with custom building but would have like to see more custom buildings in the surrounding area instead of default P3D buildings. No other issues!

AEROSOFT - US CITIES X - NEW ORLEANS FSX P3D

New Orleans is a beautiful city. The highways and bridges are well placed and the overall textures look really good. Another note are some of the surrounding airports don't match the scenery. If you are using ORBX you have to turn off the LC to LC_xxx.bgl.off. There were some issue with the ground textures around the river and the coastline. Otherwise flying in and out of KMSY have some nice approaches and departures.

FEELTHERE - EMBRAER E-JETS V2 - EMBRAER 175 AND 195 P3D4

FEELTHERE - EMBRAER E-JETS V2 - EMBRAER 175 AND 195 P3D4

Really good aircraft to fly. It is challenging from startup to landing. A few issues are the lack of detail in the cockpit, the cockpit glass looks like it's cracking (it has long lines on either side) and it pulls to the left on takeoff (still testing that theory, but it does). I like the FMC/MCDU and the physics of the aircraft. Overall a good buy. Also the TSS sound wasn't include in this package so I bought it and it adds some realism to the aircraft, especially in the cabin.

FSXCENERY - KCAE COLUMBIA METROPOLITAN AIRPORT FSX

FSXCENERY - KCAE COLUMBIA METROPOLITAN AIRPORT FSX

This is my second FSXCenery and it's a better than the default airport in P3D. However, this airport has some deficiencies. PROS: Good photoreal ground textures for the surrounding airport; surrounding buildings match the real world; well modeled terminal, parking area and cargo area (UPS Buildings). Cons: No jetways in AFCAD; had to add jetways using GSX Lvl2. Freeware version terminal better modeled to real terminal; Floating trees (fixed with AFM); incorrect gate assignment and gate numbers. This airport needs an overhaul; A better built terminal, textures and hi-res ground textures. The airport vehicles are the same in other sceneries which isn't very realistic. If you must have it get it, if not use the freeware version which has it's limitations but a good rendition of KCAE.

FSXCENERY - KORH WORCESTER REGIONAL FSX P3D

FSXCENERY - KORH WORCESTER REGIONAL FSX P3D

I was a bit skeptical about the FSXCenery however this airport turned out to be really good. There are daily flights to Philadelphia, New York, Ft. Lauderdale and Orlando. So you can get some use out of this airport. This scenery is much better than default; very good ground textures that blend well with ORBX. Good detailed buildings, objects and vehicles. A few things I dislike is their default taxiways, tarmac and runway textures (REX HD Airports needed). The buildings could of had some weathering and and ground seasonal changes. The AFCAD didn't have jetways but I added them using GSX Lvl 2. Overall, it's nice to have. Happy flying and watch out for low flying birds.

AEROSOFT - US CITIES X - BOSTON FSX P3D

This scenery will greatly improve the Boston surrounding area. There accurately placed buildings, bridges and vegetation. The only improvement would be to have night lighting however, I don't fly much at night so no issues there. This is compatible with FlyTampa's KBOS. Follow instructions on FlyTampa's site and ensure the AF2_KBOS is labeled off.

LATINVFR - SAN DIEGO KSAN V2 P3D4 P3D5

Another very good update to KSAN for P3D v4. The new version looks much better during the day and night. There have been some issues with ORBX/SoCal on RWY 27. There is some elevation issues which creates a bleed from underlying textures. Without ORBX SoCal there is no issue but this has not be resolved but has been discussed in several support forums. Overall, it's one of the best sceneries to fly in and out.

IMMERSIVE AUDIO - MJC8 Q400 COCKPIT SOUND IMMERSION FSX P3D

IMMERSIVE AUDIO - MJC8 Q400 COCKPIT SOUND IMMERSION FSX P3D

I flew in this plane (Dash 8) years ago; LIAT, which flew all over the Caribbean. The new sounds add more depth of realism. One thing I did was change some of the dynamic sounds from my backups (which was stated in previous reviews) back to the original. IMO a few of the sounds from the original Q400 sound better or what I liked. The new APU, generator, engines and cabin sounds have better clarity from stock. I hope they do more products for add-ons.

LATINVFR - SOUTH WEST FLORIDA FORT MYERS INTL KRSW FSX P3D

This airport is on point. I didn't think I would fly here like other airports in FSX. However, now that I have it, I certainly will. LatinVFR doesn't disappoint. Now the terminals have moving jetways (that's a new added feature). Surrounding areas look great especially on approach to RWY 6. Another great product from LatinVFR.

DRZEWIECKI DESIGN - MIAMI CITY X FSX P3D FREE

If you have LatinVFR KMIA it merges beautiful with the scenery. I had LatinVFR KMIA beforehand so I can't tell you what it looked like before. However, take note it does not work well with DX 10, aircraft shadows and high 2x water settings. I made it to KMIA landed and then FSX froze. I had to reduce water to low 2x and remove aircaft shadows on ground. But the scenery is well worth it. I changed my settings and it worked. Still 5 stars.

AEROSOFT - AIRBUS A320/A321 FSX P3D

A little better upgrade to the Airbus X extended. The flight deck is more detailed. The MCDU loads the passengers, cargo and fuel with accuracy. The weather/terrain radar are a new feature added. Best thing to have is FS2Crew with this aircraft which brings the A/C to life.

AEROSOFT - AIRBUS A318/A319 FSX P3D

This is one of those A/C you want to have in your Flight Sim. It presents a lot of potential for varios flights to different locations, short to medium distances. The MCDU, FMS and present more options. The detail is closer to the actual A/C. Added with FS2Crew it will be an amazing experience.

FLYTAMPA - TAMPA REBOOTED V.2 FS2004 FSX P3D

Another great looking airport and surrounding sceneries. I have a few other Flytampa sceneries and this doesn't fall short of the others. Added with Orbx vector the scenery blends beautifully. There needs to be an update on the jetways labels. Some had Northwest and old Delta signs. Either way still 5 stars!

FSPS - SIM PHYSICS X FSX

FSPS - SIM PHYSICS X FSX

I'm not a real pilot as yet, however I have flown a Cessna 172 before and physics made me feel the same way I felt when flying. The configuration tool was a bit touchy but I downloaded the update and it seemed to work. The cockpit moves, and shakes as you taxi, climb and land. Even when using airbrakes. The tires squeal when you brake hard, brakes heat up and become less responsive. Haven't seen ice as yet, still looking. Overall, great product.

TAXI2GATE - KMCO ORLANDO INTL FSX

TAXI2GATE - KMCO ORLANDO INTL FSX

I am very impressed by Taxi2Gate KMCO. This is my second Taxi2Gate scenery and I love it. The area covering KMCO is very large and accurately depicted from other pictures I've seen. Plus I lived in FL for some years and this airport looks just like the real thing. Taxi2Gate is 100% on point with their sceneries. Moving vehicles, trams, and let's not forget the jetways which makes sceneries realistic! Where others fail they are raising the bar. With almost everything maxed I get 15-30 approx fps, which is good for me. A good route to fly is KMCO to KBOS, a usually route for Delta.

FLYTAMPA - STMAARTEN COMPLETE FS2004 FSX P3D

FLYTAMPA - STMAARTEN COMPLETE FS2004 FSX P3D

I originally bought this scenery years ago and just updated to the v1.5 and it looks great. However, the update had some issues. I had to use the jetway.bgls from the original scenery to see the jetways. Overall, Flytampa has done an amazing job building the scenery to the exact detail. I'm actually from SXM and it's very close or identical to the real thing. I love that they removed the old terminal, even though they originally had it a monument. But it gives a true feel to the accuracy of TNCM. Check Flytampa's forum for any updates. Another note, runway 28 is used only for takeoffs for large aircraft and landing for GA. So naturally runway 10 is used for both landing and takeoffs in FSX. Get it!

FSDREAMTEAM - GSX GROUND SERVICES FOR FSX P3D

FSDREAMTEAM - GSX GROUND SERVICES FOR FSX P3D

I love this add-on to FSX. So far I've used it on my Airbus X and the Feelthere/Wilco ERJ (demo version) and I love the features. Every time I land at a different airport the GSX vehicles and personnel change to the actual airport services. You hear all the sounds of the vehicles as they approach and dock with the airplane. The air stairs, baggage carts and catering vehicles are very accurate. Only thing I wish they had was passengers coming off the buses and going into the airplane. However, you do hear them as the board. This brought FSX to it's true potential and is one of the most exceptional add-ons to FSX!

AEROSOFT - MEGA AIRPORT MUNICH FSX FS2004

I am very pleased with this scenery. The airport is amazing; from the elevated and depressed ground features, the round-abouts, buildings, transportation in a whole and textures. The day and night textures are exceptional as well...In my opinion this looks better or just as good as Mega Airport Frankfurt, but that's just my opinion. Get it!

AEROSOFT - MEGA AIRPORT PARIS ORLY FS2004 FSX

This scenery is another great addon to FSX. The airport is highly detailed with many moving parts: buses, trains, baggage carts and more. (Note: the jetways don't move, unfortunately.) Paris Orly is a huge improvement from the stock scenery. Aerosoft is known for their accuracy of airports and they deliver here.

AEROSOFT - NICE COTE D'AZUR X (DOWNLOAD)

This is a very lovely scenery. I love sceneries that are near water. The textures are great for the most part except some of the jetways are shimmering; in reference to what Richard Micola said. I had a great landing using the Airbus Extended X which picked up the R04L ILS on approach. However, after taxing to gate A10, I somehow crashed. I wasn't even close to the Terminal 1. So I give this scenery 4 stars ****.

FEELTHERE - EMBRAER REGIONAL JETS

FEELTHERE - EMBRAER REGIONAL JETS

This is a great regional turbo fan airplane to learn on. I bought this from feel there's website plus their bundle liveries for a decent price. The flight dynamics, FMC, EICAS and other features are very smooth and realistic. I had trouble starting the aircraft from cold and dark but after viewing the sequence online I figured it out. There is still alot to learn about this aircraft but I have learned alot thus far. Just looking foward to the real thing in the future. If you want to learn to fly right, this is it. Start small first!

BLUEPRINT - KDTW DETROIT METROPOLITAN FSX

BLUEPRINT - KDTW DETROIT METROPOLITAN FSX

I was skeptical about this scenery at first so I tried Blueprint's freeware, TJSJ and TBPB which looked pretty good. So I got this because the FSX version was missing a lot of buildings. Even gates for B and C terminals were very limited and not to scale. Even with adding the Aerosoft US Cities X, Detroit it was still missing something at the actually airport. Now I can actually land and park at a gate rather than far away from the main terminal. The terminals aren't highly detailed, but do have all the visuals a terminal would have. I love the gate labels, especially for Delta since I fly them a lot. Cargo areas a very well detailed with containers and airstairs. Textures are decent not as some other payware sceneries which are high definition. But if you were missing something in Detroit Metro, this is it. 4 out of 5 stars!
