Nice! I'm buying it. Wish some one would do a decent Faro.

EDIT Is LPPT any good?

Dont know, bought it but i didn't tried yet, but one thing is for sure, is the best around, because is the only one.

BTW i actually like LPFR from Tropicalsim

It appears to be a very nice scenery. But on my first flight in, flying the FBW A320, the ILS for runway 21 did not align the aircraft nicely. I had to correct it.

I got it, but am getting severe stuttering when panning around just like Pilot's Plus Bristol when it first came out.

Anyone else getting stuttering?

*EDIT*  The devs are looking into this now.

Whatzzzzz ?

No question about it - it's where I work !!! Just because of that, it's one of the best airports in the whole World !

I've bought it, booting up the sim now, I'll report back later.

I already saw that in several airports from different devs, we need to report it.

It's pretty good but the textures have that "too clean" look.  Modeling is nice with custom working jetways but don't expect Fly Tampa Athens or anything above and beyond a normal scenery.  I think it's worth 15 bucks.

Thank you all for your feedback. I'm still considering it, mostly because I really like the approach over Tagus Estuary and the city. In one of the screenshots you can see quite a few custom buidlings, the Vasco da Gama Bridge, Parque das Nações, two gas stations, a McDonald's Drive Thru and a couple of distinct housing blocks near the Centro Comercial da Portela. I'm wondering, are they all part of the airport scenery? I coudln't find any info about this on the product page.

The total file size is 700 MB so I don't think much of the city is included. But there is a nice rendering of Lisbon city available at flightsim.to. 

There was a small update today and I hope that was a fix for the ILS approach to runway 21.

I took the plunge and you‘re right, apart from some buildings in the immediate vicinity of the airport such as the gas stations no custom buildings are included (mentioning this on the product page would be a sensible thing to do). The buildings are indeed a bit too clean for my liking but it‘s a certainly not a bad scenery.
And thanks for the heads-up. The Lisbon Megapack on Flightsim.to is an excellent addition and makes a huge difference as the default Lisbon isn‘t exactly Blackshark AI‘s strongest piece of work. And the good thing is, it isn’t heavy on performance.

Another thing I noticed is that they’ve updated the imagery for Lisbon in Bing Maps. The quality is excellent now, similar to Switzerland. Moreover, they‘ve added quite a large photogrammetry area west of Lisbon, including Estoril and Sintra. The quality is top-notch. Both new imagery and photogrammetry are not yet in the sim, but that‘s only a matter of time I guess.

ILS 21 is fine now!

I held back from commenting on MK Studios Lisbon LPPT, as it was fine by itself but when using it with the Lisbon freeware city mega pack I was getting CTD's, however this conflict has now been fixed as has any ILS alignment issues. The add on itself is priced correctly IMO. It's certainly not the best airport for MSFS but it's pretty good but to get the Wow factor you have to install the said Lisbon mega pack. Together they are great.
