Barcelona LEBL airport, which one to choose?

Featured Replies

Good evening everyone, I would like to see this beautiful airport, this week even two producers proposed it!!! Kindly I would like to ask you which of the 2 airports MK Studios or Sim Wings, I think they are both two excellent producers but I really don't know who to choose. Be careful kindly your more than competent advice/help. Thank you in advance.

Very good question. There are 3 I am aware of and they are all very good.  I'm finding it difficult to choose myself as they all have their pros and cons.  I would be happy with any of them TBH though the LatinVFR one is quite old now (though still very good).

Ryzen 5800X3D, Nvidia RTX5080 - 32 Gig DDR4 RAM, 1TB & 2 TB NVME drives - Windows 11 64 bit MSFS 2024 Premium Deluxe Edition Resolution 2560 x 1440 (32 inch curved monitor)

It really is down to personal preference.

Custom airside signage (Sim-wings) vs. default signs (MK-Studios)? Updates in initial release period, then forget (SW) vs. updates over product life (MKS)?

There's also talk that the SW version has more realistic night lighting, however, with MKS releasing v1.0.2, that may have changed.
The MKS has a modelled harbour area under the approach for rwys 24L and 24R. Yet, SW has now included that in their recent v1.0.1.

Have both MK studios is full of little bugs, like the Glass in Sim wings version far more realistic...

MK has left the HD and gone in the virtual bit bucket...

I went with MK Studios for LEBL, my first time with that developer and I'm happy.

FS2024

They are all fine.  I have the LVFR version since it was first and I have had it since new.  I think it's 3-4 years old now, but it has been updated (But not to 2025 config for gates).  If I were to need a better LEBL MK Studios looks the best to me. 

I usually only upgrade when a terminal is missing or a new runway is added otherwise its not worth 20 dollars.   An example is Flightbeam Denver is so far behind what Denver currently looks like I had to replace it with X-CODRS.
