Have you also seen the keas flying around, another nice touch with this scenery. Not sure if an actual bird strike is possible in MSFS 2020 but there are certainly a few keas flying around the airstrip. Another fantastic scenery add-on from NZA. Big thumbs up for this one. Jerry

BMIWorld Amsim Support Unresponsive
happytraveller replied to rsmith6621a's topic in General Discussion
I vowed never to buy anything more from Amsim after purchasing their LPMA Madeira airport. They never replied to my messages then so it looks like they have not changed. Jerry -
Thanks for your reply....it will look fantastic at 8K resolution when we have the computing power to run it ! Jerry

If there are any developers reading this perhaps they can solve a question. I see new add-ons now with 4K or even 8K textures and also things like PBR. I am wondering what the maximum possible is for MSFS2020, once computers catch up. How much more is possible with MSFS2020 in terms of resolution ? Jerry

I am sure that there are going to be some people who will object to paying for an upgrade. I look at it in the same way that I look at buying an upgraded computer or upgraded car. And I know that nobody likes to work for free, so I will be happy to pay for an upgrade. Jerry -
Surprising that some of the ground textures, especially the roads and road markings, are so poor. Blurred textures in some of the screenshots. Given that the other textures are much sharper, I wonder why the roads and road markings are so much lower quality. Jerry

A New Record - LPMA Madeira Airport.
happytraveller replied to happytraveller's topic in General Discussion
I was surprised that AmSim never replied to the support ticket which I raised with them. That says a lot to me. Orbx on the other hand were very good with their replies and their help. Now that people using MSFS 2020 are used to the quality levels of airports such as the newer ones from Orbx, then I guess a lot of people will be surprised and also very disappointed with the AmSim LPMA add-on. It is just not in the same league as other MSFS 2020 airport add-ons. Lots of information and photos on the internet but it appears that AmSim ignored a lot of the information out there. There are even some freeware add-ons (not for LPMA) which are streets ahead of this add-on from AmSim. This is one product that I hope gets pulled from the Orbx direct marketplace soon. Jerry -
A new record today....first time ever that I have installed and also uninstalled an add-on in the same day. After initial problems to install the new Madeira airport (LPMA) which I purchased yesterday, I discovered that the quality of this add-on is unbelievable low. At first I thought that the developers might have ported over a FSX version of the airport, but now that I have tried it out more then it looks more like FS2004 (remember that ?). Building textures are terrible and there are so many mistakes around the airport, such as large patch of trees and plants on one end of the apron. Not only that but the buildings immediately outside the airport (near to the runway) look terrible, and concrete walls on the side of the runway are way out of proportion. I find it hard to accept that a developer can release an add-on of this low quality for MSFS 2020. We know that FAR better quality is possible, not this cartoon-looking rendering which has just been released. If you are used to the high quality of developers like Orbx then this new add on for Madeira Airport from AMSim will come as a shock. And not a good one either. Definitely NOT 'as real as it gets'. Deleted it already as a bad purchase. Jerry

PayPal purchase button not doing anything
happytraveller replied to ShizMaster's topic in Orbx Central Support Forum
Just tried to purchase Stockholm Bromma via Orbx Central....got the same error when trying to pay with Paypal. Only got 1 item in the cart but still cannot pay using Paypal. Frustrating as I was hoping to try out Bromma tonight. Jerry
