I have 5 of their airports. They are nice and frame friendly but never going to be worth the $37 asked for this one. 

Im keen to to see what they have done to earn the price hike

I just bought it and it's really quite amazing. They've done the entire metro Manila area, and the detail at RPLL is fantastic and true to real life. Also I haven't experienced any frame rate drops on my machine. This is the first airport I've bought from them and it appears that the coverage area is much larger than their projects in the past - which I may just have to look at purchasing in the future.

They have included the entire Manila Metro Area and surrounding area including Sangley AFB, which is a step up from other previous release`s from PacSim, you only need to look at the detail they have included, thus i approve of the cost which is minimal in comparison to Orbx Airports which you barely get coverage outside the airport perimeter fence for roughly the same price minus the frame rate kill Orbx gives you.

You need to buy Chubu RJGG from PacSim, it makes a nice medium hop between Japan and the Phil. ;)

"( C )overing 246,000 sq mi (638,000 sq km)" - is the covered area actually that huge? That would be a square of 500 mi X 500 mi - more than four hours in an airliner at cruise speed to fly the perimeter alone???

 

I wonder that too, it would mean the coverage area is several times larger than the entire Philippines.

Hi Rick66,

can you confirm that the photoreal textures actually do cover 246,000 sq mi?

If so, that would seem a bargain and I'll definitely buy it.

Thanks

May all your landings be safe ones!

Yeah, that's slightly more than two Philippines for the price of one!   :rolleyes:

 

EDIT:

I asked a RPLL owner via PM in a German forum and will report his findings/statement concerning coverage.

 

 

 

simMarket now has two customer comments, one in German, the other one in English. The English speaking customer is only nearly happy with the night lighting:

(I prefer buying from the developer directly, BTW.)

Sounds like a sensible write up and Im not much of a night flier myself but it does look like the dev has put in an extraordinary amount of detail into this package. 

I can vouch that so far their airports have practically zero hit on frames and that's with PMDG.

Im going to get it of course but Ive always bought them during their 40% sales ...hmmm

Hey Shug, I`m not too sure on the quoted sq/mi by the developer, i run FTX Global so its hard to say without disabling it, will have a look, you could also ask the developer directly at his forum, i`m sure he will shed some light on it.
