January 3, 201214 yr Author Is it just me or is there less shimmering with this latest version?I guess it may be because you have changed your nHancer settings to reduce shimmering, Trristan? :wink:Out of curiosity: do you also have the Polish Airports vol.1 and, if so, do the textures shimmer for you?Especially the winter ground textures, especially around EPKT?BTW: Have any of you tested EPKK2012 with the freeware addon VFR Balice EPKK ext II V2? I wonder how compatible they would be (after disabling a few bgl's).The reason I am asking is I have discovered that, unlike the airport and its close vicinity, which are gorgeous, the city centre is low quality and very generic.And the Main Square (which is a medieval pearl classified as a World Heritage object by UNESCO) is built of generic blocks of flats! :Waiting:I asked the developer if they are planning any improvement over that, but they are not interested. Pity.Compare:1. the EPKK2012 Main Square2. the VFR Balice II Main Square3. the real Main SquareAnother screen over the above-mentioned freeware addon: Edited January 3, 201214 yr by Rafal
January 4, 201214 yr Looks a bit like Nowa Huta has finally expanded and taken over Krakow. Well, so long as my favourite bar 'Katedra' is still open, that's all that matters to me ;-) Gavin Barbara Over 10 years here and AVSIM is still my favourite FS site :-)
February 8, 201214 yr Is anyone using the VFRPoland photoscenery of the area around EPKK and if so, are there any problems? I am finally about to buy EPKK (just too many new products in too short a time - what a problem to have! LOL) - and I'm thinking of getting the PolandVFR scenery as well.CheersIan
February 9, 201214 yr Author Ian,VFRPoland does not cover SE Poland yet. See the map:http://www.vfrpoland.com/simulator/fs2004On the bright side though, EPKK is served by Oliver's AES now. :(

That possibility didn't even enter my mind! I will hold off on the photoscenery but am going ahead with purchasing EPKK. I have been dazzled by the screen shots long enough - time to see it for myself!
February 9, 201214 yr Author time to see it for myself!You won't believe your own eyes!And I bet this is going to be the best FS purchase you've had for some time. :wink:Let us know how you like it.
February 10, 201214 yr Author By the way all Drzewiecki Design scenery is now discounted by 30% until St.Valentine's day.http://secure.simmarket.com/drzewiecki-design.mhtmlSo if anyone had doubts, there's a great opportunity to get some top quality Polish (and Dannish) scenery.If you have only EPKK and wonder what else to get, I recommend Polish Airports vol.1, including Katowice, Gdansk and Rzeszow.
February 10, 201214 yr D@mn, I finally caved in and bought it, now I just need to find time to fly there from KEWR (fictionally as there are no direct flights :( ) Have a Wonderful Day -Paul Solk
February 10, 201214 yr Author fictionally as there are no direct flightsNo worries, Paul, we all make fictional flights sometimes. That's the beauty of our flightsim hobby - you choose what route you fly. :wink:BTW You can also fly from Tel Aviv, as El Al brings its heavies to EPKK quite regularly and the route is much shorter than from Newark.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc3JlzvqAVI

I certainly will be purhcasing it now with the discount. Just out of interest though, how did you find out about that, as I had the latest Simmarket newsletter through which did not say anything about that nor on the main home page. Was it just by chance you saw it? Anyway, glad you spotted it and let us all know! Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. Packard Bell imedia S3210. AMD Athlon II X 3 425 Processor 2.70 GHz. 3 GB RAM.

February 10, 201214 yr Author how did you find out about thatHey, Mark! That's quite simple actually. I visit Staszek Drzewiecki's forum and I found the discount info there.On my way to Tel AvivYou're welcome Paul and three greens at Ben Gurion!
February 10, 201214 yr Hey, Mark! That's quite simple actually. I visit Staszek Drzewiecki's forum and I found the discount info there.You're welcome Paul and three greens at Ben Gurion!Ohhhhhh my friend Rafal - you were a few hours too late for me!!! I bought it at full price on Simmarket last night... :( The irony is that I have intended to buy it ever since it first came out but for various reasons delayed doing so. Woe is me! (JK - it was still good value and I would only have saved a few dollars)But I still might check out their site as many of their other sceneries seem excellent as well so maybe I will add to my Polish flight options.
February 10, 201214 yr Author But I still might check out their site as many of their other sceneries seem excellent as well so maybe I will add to my Polish flight options.Great idea, Ian! Get the PAvol.1. With the discount it is just mere 7 dollars for one top quality airport.And it includes Katowice EPKT and Gdansk EPGD (plus Rzeszow EPRZ) - two important international ports.And... sorry for being late. :( I did think about you setting this thread (like: I hope Ian did not press the purchase button yet!)
