KCVG Released - Skyline Simulations

Recommended Posts

Well, it’s finally here, but I’m going to be the first to say I’m pretty disappointed and this will not be a day 1 purchase for me. The p3d version of KCVG from SS was mediocre at best and it looks like their MSFS product isn’t far off from that either. Maybe it’s the poor still images they used, but the attention to detail, poor resolution, and weird textures are throwing me off here. Maybe someone else who picks it up will shed some light on how it is for them.

First, the resolution of these images is absolutely terrible. The images on their site literally have pixels showing to the point where it’s almost hard on the eyes. Second, the images use stock planes. This is 2023 - use real looking traffic in your advertisements! The ground textures look off as well in these. Curious what other folks will think if they buy it.

List of features looks impressive, but their price is too high compared to other MSFS airports. From their website:

Their P3D version was outright offensive (ie: terrible), just read the reviews on Simmarket. I'd be suprised if that was any better for MSFS - pics say no. The "super detailed 3d modeling" certainly hasn't been used everywhere... (or anywhere...)

I’ve also been waiting for this release. For the price and the image quality I’m going to skip this scenery. I was hoping they would have improved over the P3D version.

This company (which I've purchased from before) is among one of the worst in this genre.

I will pass to many negative reviews.  I will probably buy Memphis instead

Really, really too bad. I would really like a good quality CVG for cargo ops but from the pictures and reviews it seems this is a definite pass. I hope another developer will give it a go.

I will never purchase another product from this developer, their P3D version of CVG was AWFUL! They promised updates but never delivered. Heathrow performed better than CVG did!

Agreed 100%. They released this buggy and resource hog for P3D and it turned into abandoned-ware. Memory is long for flight simmers and I too will never purchase from this vendor again.

I’m in the same boat. Will probably get Kmem if the reviews are good. Probably get EDDK for Euro.

EDDK is pretty solid. I fly for UPSVAC and picked it up with p3d and bought it when it came out for MSFS. They did a pretty solid job on it.

Aerosoft? It performs quite terribly for me. I don't know whats up but the performance isn't great at times.

So far the purchase went instantly.  Unfortunately so did the download errors so I havent even been able to download it.  Very much like the P3D version.
