Just tried it out. It really looks good, I do however get a small hit in fps (my systems is low-end, so I did expect that). A few quick shots from the trial:

I bought it and there are a few flaws. The P3D installer failed with an error that SP2 or Acceleration were required. At least one of the bridges looks like it's missing the abutments at each end, so it stops too short. Some large areas of the default autogen are excluded or missing at one end of the airport. The rental car garage (one of my big projects) at the west end is not included <gasp>. After entering the registration number, the scenery is still in trial mode and the models vanish after a few minutes.

This is an issue with all sceneries that use this addon manager system. You just need to restart your PC after installation.

That didn't work. I tried uninstalling and installing again with antivirus off, then restarting my computer. I'm still stuck in trial mode. I'll keep an eye on their support forums.

Sky Harbour international... What a nightmare to drive through in a car to pick someone up. :S


I remember when it was still Terminal one and two, single level buildings, a few gates. Then came Terminal 3. Now, I think there are 6 Terminals..... ack!

Got it. I dug around and found the manual. I wasn't selecting the publisher and product before entering the serial number.

Bill, my company did a lot of that work. We did the additions to terminal 4, the rental car garage, the SkyTrain structure, etc. We also did Phoenix City Hall and the Coyotes arena (don't remember what they're calling it now).

No, but do you have any shader mods installed? Also list your system and video settings.

Currently not compatible with Ultimate Terrain X - USA.

Bummer. Hope it gets addressed soon.
