I have and use it.  I prefer it over ImagineSim's version, which I also have.  In additon, just FYI, the Orbx world airports collection (freeware) includes a nice version as well of KMKC, the Kansas City Wheeler Downtown airport.

I'd give it a 7 on a scale of 10...it's good but not great.  The SODE jetway models they use have some animation issues (the axle bar on the wheels detaches from the support struts and sort of freewheels in space when it turns).

But, I'd say it's worth 13 eurogazinks.

I'd say it's definitely worth 13 Euro. The 2018 version is only a few months old and is P3Dv4 native. I had bought the 2015 version just a few months prior and had to pay 9 Euro to upgrade lol. As for the jetways, if you use GSX Level 2 someone made a nice jetway mod that you can get on the FSDT forums.

If it wasn't on sale back in December I'd probably never pay a full price for it. Way below today's standards, which for me are really high at the moment, buying and flying in to it was a deciding factor for me to not buy anymore ported over sceneries.

Anybody using TropicalSim's KMCI Kansas City airport scenery...??

It's on sale right now at Simmarket for 13 Euro and I just wondered if it's any good....

I bought it a few days ago when the sale started.   For that price I felt it was just fine.

The underlying photo is low res, but the ground poly's themselves seem to be higher res / ok.

I only have GSX (1) installed and the jetways aren't animating for me in my limited testing.  I have GSX level 2 but haven't installed it yet.

You shouldn't need GSX2 for jetway animations to work.  If you bring up the GSX (1 or 2) menu, the "operate jetways" should trigger the SODE jetways included in the scenery.  Of course that won't work if you don't have SODE installed.

Well, then I must not have SODE installed.  But I think I do -- I have a bunch of add-on sceneries like FSDT KMEM, and I think at least one of them installed SODE for me (right?).

I’ve got the 2015 version and thought it was ok, but agreed on the standards of today. We are seeing incredible quality on scenery and planes these days.
