When I was checking out the surrounding area, I noticed, that there is a location nearby to the airport, where you can see a “summary” of all ground marking textures. This is visible when you move the camera. What I also didn’t like is the glitching textures of taxiway lines. However, this is only at some places and is especially visible at the terminals without 3D interior. The textures are in my opinion not very contrasting, and the colours of it are somehow washed-out. However, I think there is a lack in detail sometimes. Also, the backyard of the terminal is detailed, and plenty of vehicles at nearby parking adds a huge immersion, and the FPS is not bad either. I am very satisfied with the skyline modelling and non-airport buildings overall. Of course, they don’t have a 3D interior, but in this case, it is not so important. The models of the nearby skyscrapers are great as well. What I also really like is the detail of jetways, the model of it is sharp and very clean, so big thumbs up for that. However, when there is a 3D interior in a terminal, it is really good-looking and very detailed. This can cause problems in the areas where two terminal buildings meet each other, as it doesn’t look natural. The quality of the terminal buildings varies. The 3D interior is only in some of the terminals, the rest is just a building with texture. You may already know, that I am a big 3D interior fan. There are some, in my opinion, imperfections, especially when looking at the terminal buildings. Because of the nearby skyline, which has been modelled as well, I knew, that this is not only an airport scenery. The scenery is really good-looking, it has plenty of details and it feels very natural. The very first impressions of this airport were great. Keep in mind, that this airport does not serve any long haul routes. The airport is served by Air Canada, Alaska Airlines or Southwest, with routes to Toronto, Portland, San Francisco, Albuquerque, Austin and Chicago.
#LATINVFR KSAN CODE#
With ICAO code KSAN and IATA code SAN, the airport served almost 17 million passengers back in 2009. San Diego International Airport is an airport located near the city of San Diego, California, USA. Let me first introduce the airport itself. First of all, I’d like to thank LatinVFR for making this review possible by providing us with a copy of this scenery. I'll always happily wait for their products but money is tighter these days so if I buy one developers Kxxx then chances are that will be the only one I buy for awhile.Recently, I got an opportunity to take a look at LatinVFR’s San Diego v2 Scenery for Prepar3D. One hope I have for LVFR is more news on works in progress. Not to mention these areas are all also nearby oceans and the added settings of that along with ones settings for it just adds to FPS hit that one might rarely see if they're not flying comparable places.īest advice I can say to anyone not understanding how little LVFR's KSAN has on FPS hit is to fly the default first with various weather and time of day and then do the same with this and you'll see little to no difference. I'm one to try to find a balance from my local airport and these much larger hubs because I am also not one that wants to keep adjusting my settings, but it's a must in this CA area as it is in Boston, Seattle, New York and Washington D.C. FPS drop is due to the insane amount going on with the plethora of other nearby airports, air traffic, road traffic, topography, etc, etc. There is a ton going on in this area and people that have their settings set for the best visuals of their hometown airport that then load up KSAN will always be shocked. One major thing I must say is for decades people have had issues with the KSAN area (as well as other CA airports). Visuals were much better in my opinion as well. This time around I bought KSAN from and only will be buying it from LVFR from that past experience. I had Orbx's KSAN back with P3d and once I heard of LVFR and got a couple of their airports I decided to buy their KSAN. LVFR quickly became my favorite with my only gripe being there wasn't enough to buy. By the time I heard of LVFR I already owned 95% of all Orbx airports and 100% of FSDT's and Fly Tampa's.
