  1. Thank you SP for the v2 update! They finally did their homework. As i always used to say, it’s not about hardware at first, it’s about optimization. It went from unflyable to one of the smoothest. If they do the same with the rest of their Airports (except Calgary, already runs nice), they’re easily one of the best devs out there.

    1. Totaly right, great Airport now and its always optimization and you do not need the best Hardware, that is the real point..

  2. Has anyone found a fix for the massive FPS drop? Even in the latest MSFS version, I experience a massive FPS drop a couple of minutes in. I found a temporary workaround by going to the main menu, disabling the online mode, and then re-enabling it. Good level of detail overall, but the FPS drop ruins it. Are all Fsimstudios having the same problem?

    1. Can confirm exact same issue here. Everything works fine until a few minutes in.

      (Update) I should add, newest update (2.0.0) fixes most of this.

  3. I think it’s one of the best airports. Area being nice around helps as well. It’s just the size though, wish they can compress some files.

  4. Please check the RAR, just in case. I got the corrupt header (torrent version) – so it’s headers and all files in the folder “Marketplace” and the CGL.
    Just about to redownload it, might have been something on my side, but just in case better to report early.
    Thanks and all the best !

    1. Thanks, just downloaded & tested the archive, it is 100% valid (all archives get verified before uploading, archives of torrents even get verified once more by the seedbox since the .torrent files are generated locally from the archive before uploading). So must be an error on your side.

      1. I remember this was so heavy on performance in the early version. Too bad they haven’t optimized it correctly. I guess i’ll pass.

        1. Editing my comment to say that performance is great. Not even one stutter. Constant steady 28-32 FPS across every single corner at the airport.

  5. The 2 files have the same name… I installed part 1 and it is working great. What is part 2? The surrounding? If so, how can we install it? Thanks. Great upload.
