March 22Mar 22 I live in West Palm Beach and have flown in and out of KPBI dozens of times in real life. Go with Verical Sim. Forever indebted to the late Michael Greenblatt of FSGS.

Very well done. Cheers, Pete Pete Solov - Lake in the Hills 3CK and Schaumburg Regional 06CProud AOPA Member - PPL 2001Real World Piper Cherokee Pilot
March 22Mar 22 I only have the GS one since I bought it awhile ago and didn't know the Verticalsim one was coming. It is fine. Looking at pictures, I'd prever the Vert one, but it isn't making me rush out and buy it. The GS one is fine enough to not make me need to replace it, but if I had my choice, I'd always choose Verticalsim. ------------------------- Craig from KBUF

I can't speak to Glidescope past but every airport I have purchased thus far under the Glidescope name has been excellent. I don't have KPBI so I won't comment on it. Edited March 22Mar 22 by knich
March 22Mar 22 “I have both, and honestly, there’s no comparison. I worked the ramp at PBI for AA,years ago and VerticalSim’s version is on a completely different level. Really glad they kept going with it after the whole BMWorld/AMSim situation—those just feel generic in comparison.” Cesar Martinez AMD 7800X3D RTX5080 NZXT N7 B650E | G.Skill 32GB DDR5 Samsung 980 Pro 2TB | Crucial MX500 (2×) | Crucial P3 Plus Monitor: Philips Evnia 34M2C6500 QD-OLED

I have the Glideslope KPBI, and I see that the Verticalsim KPBi is on sale now at Simmarket. I’m curious as to whether anyone can recommend if it’s worth the upgrade to the Verticalsim KPBI. Cheers, Pete Well, you got me Pete, Seeing as it was on sale, I got the Verticalsim KPBI. I have no idea what the real airport looks lile. Never been there, but this is one amazing looking rendition. Certainly in the States, one of the better looking airports done so far and I own a ton. Ron MSFS 2024 -Too many airplanes to name. Too many airports to name.
March 23Mar 23 For the VerticalSim KPVU PROVO UT I just bought it looks just like the online pics and all the folks in the terminal are moving about and look a bit nervous. lol Edited March 23Mar 23 by Sky_Pilot071
March 23Mar 23 I recently got KSRQ on sale from VerticalSim. Like all of their scenery it's great. I have several of their airports in Florida and elsewhere. I had trouble getting a download and the head of the company emailed me same day with a link.
