Hi all,

Virtualcol is now offering their products at 60% off. I'm looking for some Southern/ Latin American sceneries. Does anyone know about their stuffs? The Columbia Extreme looks nice but I see no good reviews about it. Would you please share some ideas about Virtualcol?

Thank you.

I have their Toncontin, Comalapa and Colombia Extreme packages and must say for the prices I bought them for (all at the 60% discount) they are very decent sceneries with good FPS, quite good modeling and decent texturing. It's nothing to set your world on fire, but it works and it works well for me. Plus, they are all quite up to date for as far as I know, which in my eyes is a plus too.

Nice comments.

You mean Tocumen, which is Panama. Tocontin is Honduras which is Latin VFR. I have and like Tocumen by VirtualCol. I also like Tocontin, and I understand Latin VFR is working on a new version that will reflect the new runway.

Yes, you are right, I did mean Tocumen... Sorry! There is indeed a LatinVFR version, but there is a enwer one by Taxi2Gate. LatinVFR abandoned its own project in favor of Taxi2Gate's version. You can get it via Simmarket with 30% discount if that's also where you purchased LatinVFR's older Toncontin scenery. I purchased it just yesterday, which is probably what caused the mixup. I had a short look at it with the default Trike and it looks really nice, I can recommend it! Much more photoscenery too, makes the approaches even more interesting than they already were.

I would also recommend Virtualcol's sceneries, especially Colombia Xtreme...this is a major upgrade from default to most Colombian cities and airports. At $13, it's an incredible bargain.

 

I have Tocumen and San Andres which I enjoy too. I like to use Tocumen as a hub for COPA flights using the NGX back and forth from there to several Colombian cities as well as throughout the Caribbean. FPS are excellent too.

Great that you told me about the updated Tocontin, I'm off to get it. There are a great series of Central American sceneries available now. You can do milk runs from Cancun or Cozumel all the way down to Panama via Guatemala, San Salvador, Tegucigalpa and San Jose all relatively short hops. All we are missing is Managua and San Pedro Sula.

Thanks everyone. I have bought the Virtualcol products now. But do they have manuals or any kind of documentations? I need a list of ICAO codes of the Colombia Extreme package. Or does anyone know the codes?

Yes there is a manual for the Colombia Extreme package. You can read it once you installed the package I think...
