BEIJING CAPITAL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ZBAA P3D4

A well-created scenery. Feature rich, I do have a couple nitpicks.
First, the docking on the jetways. I tested it with the PMDG 747-8i and the Qualitywings 787-9 and found identical results. The jetways docked positioned way too high, about 2 ft above the doorway.

2nd, performance is somewhat of an issue.

3rd. The Dynamic Lighting needs a bit of work. I get it.

4th, the lack of snow or other options. Beijing gets snow real-world, and I would love to see it modeled in sim.

Beijing Aiport really waited formany years I'm going to make all the Chinese airports and I'ii buy them all.

Great work! Good framerates considering the complex situation here!
Nightlights almost there. Apron spots not realistic, "poodle" alike - leaving out one star for that reason.
Please learn from the RF Scenery Building developers - the masters of light settings!

This product has great detail inside and outside the terminals. I am looking forward to more products by WF Scenery Studio. Glad I bought it.

Not bad not as good as fly tampa or aerosoft or flightbeam they are the best for scenery but atleast we have beijing now been waiting for years for it.

You did the very best scenery is simply it is a high class of artistic work. Congratulations! Please, keep doing more sceneries. AMAZING!!!!! I can’t believe it! Very nice airports work.
Simmers must get your sceneries regardless if FSX or P3D. My sim FSX and P3Dv4 are so happy! Good work!

I would have given this product a 5 star if it were not for one problem, the dynamic lights do work, but however if you are doing a flight (For example RCTP-ZBAA), the dynamic lights do not turn on when arriving at the airport, hope the devs can fix this fast.

I did not know this scenery developer existed. Another developer has been working on ZBAA for a long time, and I'm glad to see some competition and faster turn around. I like having large international hubs in my simulator, and this is a great addition. I only fly the PMDG 737, 777, and 747 and also have AI traffic. The FPS can drop to 15 in some parts of the airport with all these add-ons, but overall it works well and has good visuals. The developer released a service pack for dynamic lights one day after release, which shows good customer service dedication. I hope they can find some ways to make FPS a little faster. I made these departure and arrival videos:

This scenery product really saved me from suffering the lack of a decent ZBAA among many of my destinations. The overall quality is as amazing as their previous products, for it's modeled faithfully in extreme fine details. The main problems that I would like to see fixed are:
1) The ground textures. They look too smooth and not realistic, especially at night when the textures would flash under taxi lights.
2) The dynamic lighting is way too bright and unrealistic. Furthermore, when seen from a fixed camera and the view gets rotated, the lights would be gone but restored if the camera is rotated back.

Very nice scenery. Easy on the frames, nicely modeled and sharp textures. I'm very impressed how well it runs, regarding the size of the airport. I would have enjoyed more ground vehicles and details and especially a slightly more dirty look on the apron and better object shadows and as it is for P3D v4, Dynamic Lights would have been very nice as well. Aside from those remarks it is an excellent scenery and well worth the money. I will keep a close eye on this developer in the future.

Another EXCELLENT product by WF Scenery Studio.

My only negative comment is that it only works with p3Dv4. I have installed the product there & it looks fantastic in all its detail. Unfortunately my FS PC requires an upgrade to fully utilize all the improvements p3Dv4 brings so I still use p3Dv3 for my simming.

This airport has been waiting so long for a decent payware airport that I would pay an additional amount (as required by other developers) for a version that supports p3Dv3 & other 'legacy' platforms.

5 stars - easily!

Finally, how about tackling ZSPD Shanghai Pudong after another well known developer made such as mess of it?

Knowing the quality of the work of these guys I got very excited about this surprise release especially because I was expecting the airport from a different development group. As soon as I got home I purchased the scenery since I was kind of desperate for a Beijing, for quite a while.

Overall we've got a very nicely modelled airport here with crisp textures, fine night lighting and SODE jetways. Visually the whole massive area is just stunning.

However there is something bugging me. I can see that even the surrounding ORBX FTX Global landscape is lacking snow cover in the winter despite Beijing frequently receiving snowfall but my concern is that why are the winter textures at the airport basically the same as the summer ones? The surrounding ORBX landscape does have different - although snowless ground textures but not the airport. I'd expect at least trees without foliage in the winter, a different coloured grass and ground texturing and especially a way nicer blending into the surrounding ORBX landscape. This is kind of ruining the overall image of the product as a whole. It does not feel and look like winter in the airport at all with the lively vibrant green foliage of the trees and the green grass. What a pity.

I am hoping that the guys behind WFSS will address the above and amend the seasonal textures so that it is more realistic because right now it feels like there is only one season in the Chinese capital. Trees, grass, ground (soil), stuff like that, to bring more cold winter feeling into the place, and of course, an option to blend with ORBX FTX Global.

Apart from this, it's another quality release from the developers, you won't regret your purchase and I am optimistic that whatever needs improving will be looked into in due course.
