August 16, 20205 yr How long have users been waiting for a good KABQ and TS finally finished theirs. Even with 2020 about to release, I still plan on flying on P3D.

August 16, 20205 yr It’s great but almost ironic. Been waiting a long time. I’m not sure yet I’ll get this. My personal opinion is that if somebody is releasing something this late they need to offer a bridge deal with some defined cost upgrade for msfs 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next

August 16, 20205 yr This seems like a rush to get it out the door a couple days before MSFS is released. I'll pass. Even a discount of say 50% if we buy the P3D version once the MSFS version is out would have promted me to buy. But this close....nah. Eric

August 16, 20205 yr Ed. I do too. Mainly because of payware aircraft availability. But will only fly there a nominal amount of times before moving to next sim.

August 16, 20205 yr Commercial Member I too have been waiting "ions" for this to get released as we provided a free version of Albuquerque, New Mexico. 40 square miles of photoreal terrain of the city and the surrounding area from the airport. Would make for some scenic landings and takeoffs. I will definately have to try this out. Congrats Tropicalsim!

August 16, 20205 yr Commercial Member Hi Simmers 🙂 Carlos Pereira, from TropicalSim here. In order to clear some doubts about our KABQ / Albuquerque scenery: - We started working on KABQ by February 2017, by June 17 we released our first preview. This is one of the biggest and more detailed airports we have ever launched, so we've done it without any rush, working on it for more than 3 years, and having to stop it's development many times to work on our other releases and updates of less complex sceneries. No hurry to release KABQ at all. - Some months ago we decided to make KABQ a fully dedicated Prepar3d V5 airport, V4 compatible, and this is the way we've finished the scenery. We are working on KABQ for FSX and planning to release it this week, then, after it's release, we will start working on a FS2020 version for Albuquerque. - Our clients/users are used to our sales policies. We know that some developers release 2 stand alone versions of their products, one for FSX and the other for Prepar3d, but we have allways decided to offer both FSX and Prepar3d versions together in one pack. Whoever order one of our sceneries receives both versions in just one pack. No extra charges for that! This is the way we do business, because we believe that this is better for our users. - That said, if someone orders our new Prepar3d KABQ, he/she will be granted the right to receive a FSX KABQ copy for free, as soon as it becomes available. The fact that KABQ was released as an exclusive Prepar3d product does not mean that an user will have to order another version for FSX or FS2020. - When we deal with sceneries like our recent released Ezeiza, Faro, The Azores and Tirana, for example, that were completely new built versions of older ones, that was previously not even Prepar3d compatible, we offer great conditions. Any customer of a previous version of that airport can purchase the new version with a small upgrade fee, usually less than 50% of the full retail price. A customer who does not have that airport will pay the normal retail price. Both customers, those who upgraded their previous version, and users who have only just purchased the airport for the first time will have access to individual installers for FSX, FSX:SE, P3Dv4, P3Dv5 and in the very near future FS2020 too, all available to download on the same purchase, in fact, they will be using the very same serial number to install for all platforms - FS2020 release date has no relation with Prepar3d V5 KABQ release. We've just finished and released a 3 years working project, simple as that. Even more knowing that our Prepar3d KABQ users will receive their free FSX KABQ, and FS2020 versions when available. There is no trap here. Never had. We don't act like this, our users know it. Hope I have clarified any doubts about it. Glad to be here among you guys again. Have nice flights! My best wishes, Carlos Pereira. TropicalSim.

August 16, 20205 yr Thank you Carlos for taking the time to post. Your business model has always been very generous and we certainly appreciate that. Also your product quality has grown by leaps and bounds over the years and I always look forward to your next airport. Glad to hear that will continue into the new sim. KABQ fills a void in the USA coverage and I will be a buyer. KGEG? 🙂 Avsim member since 2002. 1000+ posts on old account.

August 16, 20205 yr If it were $10 I'd go ahead and buy it since I plan on waiting about 6 months before getting MSFS. Too bad it released so late. Been wanting a good KABQ for years.
