WOW firstly a massive well done to the scenery team on this fantastic scenery package definitely is fantastic scenery so again massive well done love everything about it lots of detailed scenery and even more around the airport area very happy with this scenery package definitely 5 star's from me ;) :) even better with the night textures aswell this is definitely a must have scenery package ;) :)
I have been pretty satisfied with TropicalSim airport scenery, but I was a bit disappointed in this scenery, as I found the terminal buildings looked to artificial. I was expecting a more Photo realistic presentation, especially for that price. Also the SODE control of the Jetways is much to involved to activate a Jetway.
I use a GTX680 graphic card and all my other scenery look great, so I don't think it's my video card.
Simply Incredible work. Tropicsim has improved with every release. By far this is one their greatest works. Looking forward to new releases. The texture quality was outstanding as well as the performance
