This scenery is extremely well done in some parts, and then lacking any detail in others, which is unfortunate, since what is there and modelled usually is of high quality. with great and lifelike textures.
However, the airport has got missing buildings and ground equipment all over the place, meaning you see flat houses, trucks and industrial buildings everywhere. Between some taxiways, next to the runway and aprons, and in the immediate surroundings of the airport. And these are vast areas where things are all flat and thus clearly visible when flying to and from the airport.
It's a bit of a shame. The developer clearly shows talent, but leaving so many areas completely flat tells me development was kind of rushed, which in turn hampers immersion quite a lot.
I have been a fan of this developer since their early days on X-Plane 11 and it has been fun to watch them build in skill over the years to the level of talent that is on display here with KBOI for MSFS. Take the ORBX version and throw it in the Recycle Bin and grab this one instead. This airport is a feast of details, high grade HD texturing, accuracy and performance. All the bells in whistles were put into this one. Don't settle for mediocrity, settle for the best and you are looking at it with this rendition of Boise! 5 Stars easily.
