Looks like LatinVFR has updated the scenery quite nicley: http://www.flycay.com/forums/showthread.php?5838-LatinVFR-LEBL-Barcelona-updated-to-1-1

By the way I, myself, am still on the fence. The simMarket promos of both LatinVFR and JustSim will end tonight.
True, they are merely 11%, but as a person who was in Barcelona just 5 days ago, I feel an irresistible need to buy one. :biggrin:

Is there anyone here who happens to have both versions (I doubt it), updated them to the latest and can throw in his or her verdict?

Interested to know too..

I bought the justsim Hamburg product on Sunday and I find the textures a little dull and color off; so not using it.  Bought the latinvfr one and find it quite immersive.  Don't own that many of their sceneries, but find this airport done well.  We sure need Madrid though...

here are some videos showing performance eyc that I did today with the update: My video making skills are less than to be desired!

Glad to see they fixed the night lighting, that was the biggest thing holding me back.  I think I'll pull the trigger now...

Justsim looks a bit colorless compared to the LatinVFR version.

However to me the LatinVFR version is a bit polaroid colored. I have the Justsim version.

Using FTXGlobal the LatinVFR version will probably blend in better.

Using photo scenery , which is less saturated, the Justsim version will be better.

I have the impression this is a general problem of JustSim. I have two of their sceneries but know also others from screenshots and videos.
I can clearly see a lot of texture reuse (mainly ground, but also some buildings). And the textures seem to me, say, dark grayish. I guess that may be what you mean, Gerard.

I agree. Judging from these videos (thanks, Simon!) and some other promo materials, I also find the colours too intensive and vivid.
I admit I am attracted with their additional rendition of the Barcelona city, but not sure about the colours (and some ground textures) at all.

I guess reading the update note I linked above we can say LatinVFR have improved the photoscenery and made it optional for users.

I am still on the fence. I have never had anything from LatinVFR and my JustSim sceneries are nice, but I do have some reservations.
I could wait for Sim-Wings but: 1. the wait can last /  2. I am almost sure they will not include the city /  3. their sceneries are also so-so.

 

Well, simmer's life (with limited FS budget) is not easy, is it? :blush:

PS At the same time I am tempted by JustSim's Luxembourg (just for flying Traver's latest Cargolux 744's here and there - my Aerosoft ELLX is so old...), Orbx ESSA (almost 50% discount with a huge free 1.5 service pack announced - my Aerosoft ESSA is so old...) and Digital Design's Leipzig (I love their Petersburg and Salzburg - my Aerosoft EDDP is so old...). Well, if I lose this resistance fight I will hide under the table hoping my wife won't find me easily after she checks our curent bank account records... :wink:

So whats the recommendation here?

Hard to judge, Gerard, isin't it?

EDIT (I've just realized Gerard has the JustSim version, not the other way):

Gerard: are there ANY Barcelona landmarks added in the JustSim version?

And two last questions (as the promos end in 60 minutes from now, lol) to anyone with the LatinVFR version.
Have you updated your LatinVFR LEBL and, if yes:
- did the SODE jetway docking get improved (I read it was rather rough)?
- do you find the colours better now?

Thank you in advance!

Justsim's terminal glass looks much more realistic from the screenshots.

That, for me, is an important point in this debate.
Thank you very much for your time, Gerard.

And thanks to anyone who shared his time here.
TIme to be a man and make a decision. :wink:

I have both sceneries and i enjoy the latinVFR much more than Justsim.

Approaching the city or taking off is really impresive using LatinVFR version.

Sode implementation in the Justsim version is really bad, only 10 or 12 gates are moving.

Latinvfr version vote!

Miguel Leandro

The LatinVFR version does look like the glass is over done, but it is down to what photos you look at.

whats makes me laugh, is on my lunch break today i had a quick look at the aerosoft forum and  Simwings are doing one too!!!! why dont these people every speak to each other.  They would save themselves such a headache and make more money.. Someone should email orbx and get them to do it as well  

With any luck now we can have 4 developers do a remake of EGKK... to fight over the pickings instead of taking a punt and remaking somewhere new.

I honestly think IT people are scared of using telephones or speaking face to face..
