Thanks for your opinions.

You don't think the default is good enough?

Hi Jose, I’m not sure. I like third party airports.

It's a fantastic add-on if you like flying in Italy. I've bought it when it was released and the dev has worked on it for years. He kept his promise.

I just bought all the Italian airports from orbx so will this be compatible? It looks awesome.

They should be. His focus is on everything coastlines.

It says on the product page that the add-on is compatible with ORBX airports.

Thanks Jose. I’ve never bought from .TO so I’ll have to set up an account today.

Flightsim.to is the place to go for freeware for MSFS 2020/2024. They are the best and worth supporting.

Which LICJ is better, AMSIM vs. Jetstream Designs?

When I've been wanting to make this sort of choice recently, I've taken to getting an AI response via Google. Not that it has a superhuman gift of judgement, but it does trawl all the corners of the internet for all opinions, saving a huge amount of effort, and comes back with a reasonable summary for me to make up my own mind. FWIW:

The best payware scenery for LICJ Palermo in MSFS is generally considered to be the JetStream Designs Palermo (part of their Italian Airports Bundle) or the AmSim LICJ Palermo available on Orbx, which are both highly detailed. The JetStream version is often favored for its comprehensive, high-quality terminal modeling and accurate environment. 
  • Top Choice (Payware): JetStream Designs LICJ offers excellent performance and accurate modeling of the airport, including the new east apron.
  • Alternative (Payware): AmSim LICJ is a strong competitor for Orbx users, noted for detailed ground textures.
  • Free Enhancements: Users can find free enhancements like the SavageSceneries LICJ that add static FSLTL aircraft for better realism. 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      JetStream's offering is often praised for its high-quality rendering, although some users find the Asobo world update version or AmSim's version to be suitable alternatives depending on specific preferences.

I would vote without any hesitation for the Jetstream Design product for its high fidelity reproduction.

I own a few AmSim sceneries and they do not match in details and rendition what Jetstream makes, don't forget they are associated to Flightbeam, both of them probably the best airport designers on the market presently.

Not the person starting this thread but I for example cannot use default airports - I get blurry runways 100% of the time even after caching the airport before the flight. If it wasn't for this - yeah default would be absolutely fine...
