No other airport or ports I should say offer quite so much ... you can drive, sail, fly, spot ...man this scenery is so involving!Something for GA and heavy pilots. ( also thanks to d*** FSX everyone is stalling on a decent LHR rendition!) >Each of us has our own priorities and St. Maarten isn't high>on my list.I hear you and despite KVPD's quality I do not own it but..and this is the most important bit...If you are interested in flying St Barts is a testing approach for GA pilots and TNCM has no ILS. :)

Bought this yesterday. Held back for a couple of hours, as I have spent the last couple of months firmly resident in and around Holger's amazing Glacier Bay, and wasn't sure how much time I'd spend in St Maarten. However, I gave in VERY quickly and out came the credit card. It truly is a beautiful and involving scenery, and with the inclusion of Saba and St Bart's, it is simply a fantastic addon.Regards,Al.

>I can fly from Tampa to the awesome Gottfrieds Puerto Rico and>then from there to St. Maarten etc.>>MannyThanks for mentioning, Manny. Meanwhile Puerto Rico in normal resolution is complete. 2 Volumes, East and West covering the whole island of Puerto Rico. The first high resolution overlay (1.2m/pix) is released as well (TJSJ with San Juan). Available here: http://www.blueskyscenery.com

I decided to try out Fraps and made a little video of landing at TNCM. My sound card decided not to work so you only hear my breathing in the microphone! LOL Anyway, go to http://www.kitte.ax/msfs/maarten.wmv and copy and paste the link into Microsoft Media Player. Not the greatest of videos but it gives you an idea of what it looks like.

Great stuff the best scenery with KPDX just great hmmm...I guess I will pick up some virtual skin color lolJust run don't walk :-)Andr

It is a GREAT scenery. I couldn't resist getting it and I am glad I did. I am no means a good pilot in FS but here is a video I made of me doing a landing.

I just don't understand posts like this."Well it's great everyone likes it, but I'm not going to get it."Okay, thanks for adding value to the thread.
