Orientalsim - Jomo kenyatta intl airport

[Chock 17,769]

Looking at the screenshots, it seems as though the resolution of the included ground textures is rather low. Is this really the case, or are the settings of your FSX installation set lower to cope with performance issues?

You have to bear in mind the computer I was running it on at the time of the review (i.e. two years ago back in 2009). Look in the specs on that review and you'll see why I had to make some compromises at the time, since I wanted smooth high FPS for those tricky approaches. Nowadays I can fly around there with all the detail sliders on full throttle and still get decent FPS with it all looking a lot sharper.Al

Good, I was already worried that the textures as they are on the screenshots were the full resolution. Just wanted to know for sure "from the horse's mouth".

Isn't the next Ultimate Terrain series going to be Africa and the Middle East?

I only know of the next Ground Environment X being for Africa and the Middle East. Haven't heard such news of Ultimate Terrain X, though...

Would be great news either way.Here's Alan's review of the African Adventures by the way. http://www.avsim.com/pages/0809/Aerosoft3/Africa.htm

Thanks for HU! Much appreciated.

Thanks for the HU. That forum link also includes a discount coupon, so another thanks there, Trisager. :(

Nice. that's a pretty nice job and EUR16.00 is pretty good.

[CoolP 283]

Had $27.96 (19.57EUR) here, still being nice. I've used the coupon. For the coverage given, this is close to stealing.Wondering how this will show up.

Major upgrade for GEX North America users when installed with GEX NA

So I install Africa and get NA enhanced. Sort of a library update, huh?

Nice review Benjamin.Well Done.I have been looking out for someone to do this partiucular airport as my late father was stationed at the ex-RAF base at Eastleigh,Nairobi,which went on to become the first international airport before Embakasi airport,later to be renamed Jomo Kenyatta after its first post-independence President.
