December 18, 201015 yr Yep, Gary has produced another realistic looking airport for FSX.So realistic in fact that it has ben closed all day today because of the snow.IAN Ryzen 5800X3D, Nvidia RTX5080 - 32 Gig DDR4 RAM, 1TB & 2 TB NVME drives - Windows 11 64 bit MSFS 2024 Premium Deluxe Edition Resolution 2560 x 1440 (32 inch curved monitor)
December 18, 201015 yr Gary does fantastic work. I already have the prior version. So I am not sure I am going to upgrade. But if I didn't. I'd pick it up in a heartbeat.
December 18, 201015 yr Moderator Thanks for the heads up Craig. I logged into my account and saw that the upgrade was only $16. I will have to check the site and look at some screen shots to see exactly what the update encompasses, before I buy the new version. Frankly, I have owned that airport since 2008 and have probably only flown into and out of it a few times, so i'm not sure if it would make sense for me to spend another $16 on a scenery that I use about once or twice year, but none the less its nice to know there is a newer version available at a discount.

December 18, 201015 yr Install the demo then you can see exactly what you are getting for the money. Cheers, Andy.
December 19, 201015 yr I looked, I bought, I installed - I fly quite a lot from EGKK with a virtual airline and it's brilliant!Roger
December 21, 201015 yr According to the Beeb, Gatwick managed 350/600 flights today - beat H'row hands down :)Love Gary's existing scenery, and many UK flyers are bound to be regulars here, so I'll definitely look at the new ver. If EGLL can't make it, what can a man do?! Paul Skol
December 21, 201015 yr Moderator For those who upgraded, is the updated version very different visually or performance wise? The orgininal version looks pretty nice already and performs well.As Andy suggested trying the demo of the upgrade, I still haven't done it since I have the original version installed.
