A great representation of an airport that was in great need of attention. Loses 1 star because I had to create an exclude to remove some autogen from a taxiway. Once that was done, I thoroughly enjoyed my flying experience to and from this airport - visually appealing.
Outstanding Airport Scenery for FSX. One of my favorite FS Destinations. Sharp textures and details. FPS Friendly! Many custom buildings and vehicles make this one a good value.
Best Regards,

Hi all for some info about the airport.
Tocumen International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional de Tocumen) (IATA: PTY, ICAO: MPTO) is an international airport located 15 miles (24 km) from Panamá City, Panamá. In 2006, it underwent a major expansion and renovation program in order to modernize and improve its facilities. It is currently the only airport in Panama with two runways for use and is also the largest airport in the country. Tocumen International is also the busiest airport in the contigious Central America, before Juan Santamaría International Airport, Costa Rica and Comalapa International Airport, El Salvador.
The install I got was 1 for fs9 and one for fsx and the fsx with fsx acceleration add on, sp2. so you get 2 versions for the price of one!
The custom ground layout and 3d buildings are good with the markings and taxiways, cargo area, 3d cars in the parking lot. and if you look at a few photos online they really did a nice job recreating this airport.
The biggest con or dislike from tropicalsim to me is that they still use static default vechiles for there's sceneries, hopefully that will change in the future. but that's just a personal thing with me.
I did have one small issue I had no taxi egde lights at night but that issues was quickly fixed by tropcailsim via support email.
So far for the fs9 version I'M still waiting for aes support which should hopefully be coming soon.
It also makes a very nice flight to places like puerto rico tjsj and Bogota Colombia skbo airports. and I definitely recommend this airport for your Central America also don't forget that panama is also known for the Panama Canal.
