BARGAIN Drzewiecki Design New York City X V.2 50% off at SimMarket

This recently released product is half off at SimMarket (16 Euros/ $17 USD).  I was rather shocked that they had discounted it by so much being brand new, None of the other outlets seem to be offering such a steep discount, so I grabbed it, and am very pleasantly surprised at how well it performs on my oldish system.  I gathered from reviews that the previous version was brutal on FPS and VAS.  This one seems to be much better on both running on FSX-SE.

 

The New York Airports X set is also half off.  I know these are somewhat older.  Does anyone know if it is worth fooling with?  They are obviously not Flightbeam or the like.  I am kind of leaning toward just sticking to the default airports here since the NYC X is already going to be quite demanding, but figured I would ask about impressions.  Are they enough of an improvement over the default to make it worth the while?

Thanks for the heads up.  That's a super deal and I'm downloading it right now.  Little over 3GB's in size and it will take a few minutes longer than usual.

 

They had a demo version so a chance for everyone to check out the fps/vas before buying. 

 

I do not see where anyone could go wrong with getting the Drzewiecki New York Airports X for less than $10 too. 

 

Best regards,

Yes, I will be getting them too.

 

They do this every year at Black Friday, where the discount is 50%. I myself will be getting Miami, *maybe* NYC (heard it's taxing on systems, not sure if it improved with this version) and thinking about the airports and Warsaw City...

 

Was expecting it on the 26th but happy it's on already!

 

Now if only somebody would knock some sense into flytampa...

Thanks for the heads up! I was just looking at the fsdt JFK which is also on sale at simmarket. But, I'm honestly not crazy about fsdt airports. Has anyone tried this New York City X with their JFK? I'm worried about smoothness more than OOM in p3d. Excellent price on these products but hoping the price point isn't a reflection of bad quality!

Trying to download these demos from their website and they time out before completion.  Anyone else experiencing the same?

I have been using NY-X demo for a few days and the fps are acceptable for my low end machine. (15-25).  Is there any major hit in my frames if I purchase the full version.  I do have KSFO, KLGA and KEWR in the area but still I was able to get resonable FPS with those installed. 

Thanks for any feedback.

[Jim Young 2,356]

As far as I know the demo is exactly the same as the purchased version so you can test it out on your computer before buying.

 

Best regards,

Thanks Jim, that is what I did with the demo and the fps were ok.  I guess I had better go purchase before the sale ends.

Demo will not give you the full story as there is a lot missing but the price is right thats for sure

[ctiger 49]

Well I went ahead and purchased NY-X before the sales end and I am well pleased. Rich, you were spot on with the additional building etc.   Frames with the building increase did not change much compared to the demo.

May consider one more airport from these folks before the sale ends.  Any recommendations?

Carl,

If you fly also outside of the US, take EPKK - their best so far.

[ctiger 49]

Thanks Rafal.  Downloading the demo and will check it out.  Good reviews.  It is etiher this one or Warsaw.

[out 769]

Warsaw Chopin is also looking great, especially combined with Warsaw City X.

However it takes a toll on performance which is stellar at EPKK and not so good at EPWA.

Charging customers from a product that did not work is not fair from my opinion. Just referring to the upgrade price.

sale ended for me - maybe next time for me
