The Fly Mex stuff isn't bad and you can get most of the airports in Mexico. I think only the South and Central packages are SP@ compatible. With South, you get Cancun and Cozumel.I would go for more Tropicalsim stuff. They have a 12 airport bundle at Simmarket. The only problem with the bundle is they package multiple airports in to one scenery folder. If you already have one of the airports from a different developer, you have to manually remove the duplicate from the package. It also includes Cancun and Montego Bay.Imaginesim also has a Nassau that is nice and easy on the frame ratesGood question BTW, I mainly fly in the US, Caribbean and Mexico. Most of my flights at to vacation destinations.I really, really wish a high quality developer would do a package for Cancun/Mayan Riviera. The Cancun strip and the Riviera are not well represented in FS. In real life, I love taking off from Cancun. On most flight, you do turn after take off that gives you a fantastic view of the strip/Hotel Zone. In addition, none of the Cancun airports are accurate right now. They have a new terminal and they will have a second runway soon. There was a add on for the Flymex scenery in FS9 but I haven't tried it for FSX yet.

Hi Jeff, how are you?No trouble about this.Our bundle creates a specific folder, where each scenery is located inside it's own folder, it's easy to locate each one using Windows explorer and delete those you don't need.But if you prefer, we can manage this for you, offering separate independent installers for each scenery on the package.If you want, you can order the bundle of your choice, the normal way, and email us just after this, relating your order. We then respond you with the links to download your separate installers, ok?No trouble at all on doing this for you.My best regards,Carlos Pereira.www.tropicalsim.com

Thanks Carlos. That is go to know. I have not bought the bundle but I will once I get my computer back up and running.Any interest in tackling that Cancun/Mayan Riviera project? :( I know you guys focus on the airports but the entire area needs a lot of work. It offers a lot of diversity for flying - GA, air taxi, domestic, international... 5 airports, Mayan ruins and a ton of hotels/resorts along the coast.

NEWPORT Antigua- ANU is very good.

Jeff I have tropicalsims cancun, just missing the new terminal would be cool to see some of the hotels and resorts around the airport but some developers just focus on the airport itself.

Yes Caesar. I think it would be more likely for Aerosoft or Fly Tampa to tackle something like that. Cancun should have their second runway open is a couple years as well. If you haven't seen it, they are building it accross the road from the airport. there will be a taxiway overpass that goes over the access road. Another one I would like to see that is up Tropical Sim's alley would be Trinadad and Tobago.

Are you interested in Central America scenery at all? Or by "Caribbean" I am assuming you want things from Jamaica and Provedencia on east to the Barbados?

Fly Tampa's St Maarten Complete hands down. Get the complete package and it will give you St Maarteen as well as ST BARTS, and SABA. Lots of fun. Here is a link with some video's I made with the scenery. I did one for each location.http://www.youtube.com/user/wenhamj

hi Jeff, I had no idea they were planing on adding other runway very interesting indeed, trinidad and Tobago would be great also. I know flytampa is working on a new Boston logan and also in unknown scenery could be something in the Caribbean.also you guys might want to check out stuff by Latin vfr http://www.latinvfr.com/LatinVFR_Home.html

St.Kitts by Newport/ VFR Extreme is a very well done scenery.It's only a short hop[10 min flight] from St Maarten,St Barts,for some fun island hopping!! here's a short video,It's available @ Simmarket. check it out....

Wow, that is nice. I was not familiar with the developer so i skipped over it at Simmarket. It is now on the list. Same with Costa Rica.I know Aerosoft has concentrated on the Mediterranean but I think there would be a lot of demand for Caribbean scenery. My wife and I go to Mexico a couple times a year and there are a ton of Europeans there - each year more than the other. I know that the Dominican Republic is also very popular with Europeans. Of course, with the short flight from the US, American simmers would be interested in Caribbean add ons well. In addition, the flights are relativly short from South America. My idea flight time is 4-5 hours.Again, my ideal flight is from DTW (or similar) to somewhere with Windex blue water and palm trees so I will always lobby for more Caribbean scenery.

There is another scenery add-on that often doesn't get mentioned, but I have found it to be really valuable in the Caribbean, and that is the Scenery Tech North American Landclass. It is inexpensive -- $18. It covers North America all the way up to Alaska and down through the whole of the Caribbean. It plays nice with other scenery add-ons. The great strength of the Scenery Tech stuff is that it puts villages, farms, factories, churches, and other structures out in those places where other scenery packages don't go. It also improves the terrain, making it more realistic. I was flying Puerto Rico last night and I was really impressed with how it enhanced the outlying areas. I have their North America, Africa and Asia landclass packages, and I have really been delighted with the effect.
