Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport IATA: CDG, ICAO: LFPG also known as Roissy Airport (name of the local district), is the largest international airport in France. It is named after Charles de Gaulle (1890–1970), leader of the Free French Forces during the Second World War, founder of the French Fifth Republic and President of France from 1959 to 1969. Charles de Gaulle Airport is located within portions of several communes 25 km (16 mi) to the northeast of Paris. The airport serves as the principal hub for Air France as well as a European hub for fellow SkyTeam alliance partner Delta Air Lines.
In 2015, the airport handled 65,766,986 passengers and 497,763 aircraft movements, thus making it the world's eighth-busiest airport and Europe's second-busiest airport (after London Heathrow) in terms of passenger numbers. It is also the world's tenth-busiest and it is Europe's second-busiest airport (after London Heathrow) in aircraft movements. In terms of cargo traffic, the airport is the twelfth-busiest in the world and the second-busiest in Europe (after Frankfurt Airport), handling 2,150,950 metric tonnes of cargo in 2012. (Wikipedia)
The scenery looks good. There are two major problems. One is the FPS which decrease about 10 in this scenery. This is an area with many buildings and that can explain the problem with FPS but I wonder if the scenery cannot be optimised. Another big issue are the taxiways, if you like to see AI traffic with as I do, you won't see aircraft on the south part of the scenery. There is no taxiways there. On top of that the AI traffic takes sometimes strange routes to the runways. In my oppinion for this price these two things have to be improved. At the moment there are unfortunately not many good alternatives for LFPG
The scenery looks quite beautiful but the developer did a really bad job in checking the performance of his scenery. I run a highend machine and graphics card and all my other payware airports runs smooth at around 40fps but this one constantly leads to a fps drop to around 20fps. I have been in contact with the developer to discuss the issue and he kindly even sent me a modified version but this also didn't improve the fps. This scenery would be capable of providing us a good looking LFPG if it wasn't for the performance issues it causes.
The airport looks good, but not great. The control towers look nothing like the real ones and they are the wrong height.
Cons:
- misplaced bridges (above roads and railroads) will cause your aircraft to jump and possibly crash while taxiing on them
- no support from the author to try and fix these bugs
- MOST IMPORTANTLY, even with world objects set to "minimal", this scene is capable of using all 16 cores of a 10700K core i7 to the max for your whole approach. Anything more complex than the default aircraft and you will drop below 20 FPS.
Ganz einfach schrecklich! Nach der Installation gehen die FPS in den Keller. Von 35-40 auf ca. 12-18 mit grossen Unterbrücken (freezing). Haben dem Author geschrieben. Nach 5 Tagen keine Reaktion. Ausserdem sieht die Scenery nicht so toll aus; der Boden könnte viel bessere Texturen vertragen. Eines der grössten Enttäuschungen der letzten Jahre in Sachen Payware-Scenery. Nicht zu empfehlen.
