The day scenery is reasonably good as in sceenshots.. but just curious no one mention about night scenery or was it prevented by simmarket.. i think night lightings of the terminals look very amateur and freeware quality, and shd really improve its night lighting and effects considering price is comparable to many other better known developers. As i fly night more and hence lower rating for me.
Absolutely wonderful addon airport. One of those rare airports where (even though it is only pixels on your PC screen), you really feel that you are there, in China. Everything from the sandy coloured runway textures to the authentic Chinese Kanji characters is just perfect. My new favourite airport, and great for Chine Southern flights all over China and Asia (where there are now some great addon airports). Highly recommended.
Excellent!Although running FSX with a low end computer,the scenery can still give me a acceptable frame rate and memory usage,which made me very happy and out of my expectation.
