Not happy with it. Traffic only shows when your sliders are above 75%. Customer service is slow to not responding. They even refused to acknowledge the problems first.

How about compatibility with UTX Alaska?

Thanks for comments. When I say use the FS9 scenery in FSX at your own risk, I meant it. The scenery I have tried is really “abnormal” in FSX. That is the best way to describe it. I can relate to your comments about talking to Filipinos. When I meet some of my wife’s friends and they tell me where they are from, I can describe in pretty good detail the nearest towns. I have FSDiscover installed too which pops up city and town names as you fly around. One of the best add-ons for a geography nut.

I’m sooooo disappointed it can’t be used in FSX!

Great Article. Like you, I fly the Philippines alot. My wife is from Eastern Samar and my Dad’s from Bocaue, Bulacan and I found that the best way to learn the geography of the Philippines is to fly it. I usually fly to the airport, then restart the game and fly a helicopter to the nearest mountain or volcano, land it, and fly back to the airport and then fly out on fixed wing. Doing this with all the different aircraft and in different weather really makes you know the lay of the land so to speak. When I hear Filipinos talk about a place, its as if I’ve been there, I know where it is and how to get there, its great. I am really pumped about trying to use fs2004 airports scenery in FSX. I hope it works because I want to get as many PH airports and city sceneries as I can. I got the free 38m mesh for Asia By Thomas Trewin and then bought the $14 Scenery Tech to put on top of it for FSX and man, what a difference that makes! Baguio City Airport is not exactly correct though, the big hill on the south side of the threshold of RW27 is not represented but other than that, its a heck of a lot better than the default mesh and scenery.

CORRECTION! The fix I have on my site is the AF/CFG update. Sorry for the confusion.

Comment on Review: SLSU – Sucre by Latin VFR by Benjamin van Soldt

Benjamin van Soldt — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 13:56:50 +0000

Nice review! I think I’ll buy this package, even though I hardly come up there. I might do some flights from Brazil or Surinam, however. 9000 ft, so technically, the PMDG Boeing 747 or CLS Boeing 747-300 should be capable of landing there
