SceneryTR Istanbul Airport (LTFM) add-on is a standout addition to Microsoft Flight Simulator. It combines high visual fidelity with excellent performance and a range of features that enhance the flying experience. For anyone looking to add a highly detailed and realistic version of Istanbul Airport to their simulator, this add-on comes highly recommended. Also it is really good to not high detail introrier.
I hope they create a V2 because this version feels really outdated and dead. Mainly the interior and terminal. LTFMs terminal from Inside is like a big shopping/airport mall with its iconic yellow “Y” shaped pillars. Anyways hope they remodel the terminal with a accurate rendition of the interior.
The scenery is really astonishing. Wonderful work! My problem with this scenery is that there are double runways, so the markings are a bit glitched. Also there are hills infront of the runways, which are glitching the glide slope. Another bad point is that you can't spawn in all stands. So because of these reasons I have to remove 2 stars of 5 stars. Still great job!
For the price, for such a large airport, I think this deserves 4 stars. Unlike other reviewers, I've not noticed performance issues, despite having a slightly older PC ( i7-8700k, GTX1080). There are some rough texture issues and its by no means flash, but again, for the price, that's OK, as it's such a big airport. My main disappointment is the lack of traffic, which is nothing to do with SceneryTR, but is currently an MSFS limitation, which I'm sure will get fixed in an upcoming release!
they nailed it amazing job guys. I wish they would put more attention to runway( some tire marks on landing spots would nt hurt. As this is a really busy airport runways look so clean
Very well made. And the update fixed the issues.
On both my pc’s with Live Traffic and AIG ac I am seeing 33-39 fps in 4K.
So more than enough for a smooth Flightsim experience.
I have around 200 purchased airports now and this is the only one where my fps drops to about 5. That pretty much makes it impossible to rate anything else about the airport.
