They are reputable . Produce good sceneries. A darn sight better than NMG 

Just flew in from Heathrow, two thumbs up on the scenery. Good on frames, beautiful, not much more you can ask for.

Me too.  Over many years. But Nico's techniques in design haven't moved on.

For those interested, you can download the Aeroworx mesh scenery here at Avsim, as well as Aeroworx South African landclass and local vector data which makes Cape Town much more realistic.  From  Steve's pics I can see Table Mountain looks nothing like Table Mountain due to the mesh.  But the airport scenery looks superb.  I'm about to download it myself now.

Already have Pilots FS Global Ultimate NG mesh installed. Just waiting for LC from ORBX! Downloaded Cape Town FSDG. Don't have time to install now. Let me know what you think.

I know the airport quite well as I'm from CPT originally and used to work at the airport (at Air Cape) back in 1988-92 during uni vacations.  I travel between London and  CPT twice a year.  The hangars have been really well done and look exactly as represented for the most part.  I like the ground textures.  Have they cleared away the trees to the east of the airport perimeter?  The scenery is just an open space there.  The night scenery textures on the main terminal buildings are a bit iffy, but it's plausible.  Some of the details in the car rental area are off, but your mind fills in the blanks.  Overall, I really like it compared to what was available.  It's not Flytampa, but it's very good overall.  I'm pleased.  Performance is also good.

For anyone wanting a more realistic representation of Cape Town, download the Aeroworx scenery or PM me if interested in the files you need.

The eastern perimeter side is low bush. Will let you know my thoughts when I'm back at my main flight sim rig and able to install, probably Friday.

To be fair I don't think Table Mountain was in any of my screenshots! 😄

I have Orbx Vector and Global, but a landclass upgrade would really complete the picture I think.
