What do you guys think?

I bought it, the ground texture they're using for the grass looks awful, they need to change that.

Im also getting a ton of lights flickering at night, needs to be fixed.

Other than that its pretty good, I think they're on the right track.

There are too much Southwest Airlines ground vehicles EVERYWHERE!. On the cargo ramp, the maintenance areas, all gates. They only have Southwest, American and G2 ground equipment. I asked them to remove it because it causes havoc with GSX too, you cant put vehicles anywhere. It also breaks the Immersion. Other than that really nice. Interior has a lot of nice areas, gate areas aren't the correct airlines but the interior looks great from the airplane. The ground markings are nice, the terminal and parkings and gates are correct and look great, no issues with elevation or runways. Taxiways work in BATC, no AI issues. Really detailed areas outside of the terminal, even the maintenance areas have the correct derilict airplanes (well they match google maps anyway. There are some static aircraft but none at the gates so I'm ok. The sattelite underlay is pretty poor but its fine when you fly. I was shocked by the incredible amount of detail. Boezman was good, but this looked like a considerable amount of time and effort went into it. TaiModels is getting better and better with every new release. I buy without hesitation.

I'm only using the eye test based on the video, IMO it's among the most beautiful looking airport textures and night lighting I've seen in a payware airport. The interior is mind blowing. So much detail. That's just what I got out of watching the video.

Now, I have to wait for some more Avsim member reviews.

TaiModels initially did some airports in Asia. Apparenty they extend their scope. I was hesitating to get their Cairo - Egypt airport.

And no GSX profile anywhere for it. Lovely.

Their airports look very good, but they do not update them at all mostly. They stay with bugs and flaws (e.g. at HECA there's still a miscalibrated ILS, for two years now) and they don't respond to emails or anything. That said their airports don't have too many flaws, I use most of them regularly.

For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

@Fiorentoni Thanks for your feedback!

I was impressed by their rendition of CYQB (Quebec, Canada)

I forgot they did that one. Kansas looks good. Tempting indeed

This looks to be several steps above in quality versus the Tropicalsim version...
