NEWS! - Scenery Released - YSSY Sydney International Airport by TaiModels

 

 

Here at X-PlaneReviews we don't promote anything that we haven't seen with our own eyes or tested, that way the users know what they are getting is value for money, so yes a lot of product does not get posted on this site. We feel of course for any developer wanting to get their product out there, but the level of quality to sell that product has to meet a certain quality criteria, or it will fail anyway...  which brings us to TaiModels

 

Obviously we applaud any developer creating simulation product, but most early releases of TaiModels scenery was quite awful, even amateurish, a lot of it was basic flat foundation and modeling on top, nightlighting was simply awful (colourful). A lot of users did buy this TAIModel scenery but mostly only as fillers, but overall to use good scenery you have to have a certain realistic representation of the airport and it's surrounding area.

 

Which brings us to YSSY -Sydney International...  when I saw it was by TAIModels I rolled my eyes, but seriously it is very good, certainly the best YSSY-Sydney I have seen, and well worth the money. Australia is currently very under-represented by decent quality scenery, with the only decent Aussie scenery currently being YPPH-Perth by Axonos, but now we do have a decent YSSY to add into the Oceanic collection.

 

There are several features worth mentioning, it comes with 3d mesh or a flat base version (the 3D mesh adds in taxiway bridges) and the SAM Animation plugin, external autogen and vehicle animations are both provided, but no Port Botany. HDR and occlusion effects are also well done here, if a little to heavy in some areas. But overall this is a very good representation of Mascot and a huge step up in quality and detail from TAIModels.
