They have a few smaller, regional airports, many of which aren’t done by any other dev. They’re very reasonable priced and seem to feature very good quality textures airside (ground and buildings), a fair bit of peripheral airfield detail, and novelties in the form of animated helicopters, skydivers and birds. On the downside, the landside areas appear to feature a lot of lower-res photo textures, and there are no terminal interiors.
Personally I think terminal interiors are a waste of time, but the airports are really good. I’ve bought 3 of the packs which are great value. The quality is good and they are a great developer, I really recommend them. I buy direct, but I think they might also be on the marketplace.
They are not bad. They reuse a lot of assets so I suppose they are not as “realistic” to the actual locations as single fully bespoke airports are. But as you say they are great value as you get what 20+ airports in a pack for £25. I still keep randomly finding new ones that I haven’t chosen to visit on purpose before so it’s great. I got the full South East Riviera pack (and all the others in France) and that adds a ton more details way outside the range of airports. Well recommended.
Thanks, fellas. France VFR confuse me, in that I’m not sure what all these individual packs contain, and to what extent they might overlap. My understanding is that they offer five kinds of basic product: single (major) airports; packs of 4-5 of these airports; packs of 20–30 GA airports/airfields; regional packs that contain these airports and airfields plus VFR POIs; and a single VFR France pack that just contains a limited number of VFR POIs?
I’m really not sure how good the POI coverage is, what the POIs include and whether this differs between the types of packages offered.
The POI pack doesn’t contain airports, just landmarks.
I have France VFR - Airport Pack 1, 2 and 3 which are all regional airports. Those airports are also sold individually.
I haven’t yet bought the POI pack, but will do at some point.
I don’t usually fly GA so haven’t bought the GA packs.
There is no overlap in the products (other than the individual airports which can be bought separately rather than in the pack).
I’ve bought the full VFR regional packs that include the POIs. I think they hold up quite nicely and I’d love to see this approach to other countries, they’re excellent value for money. Each airfield’s environs apparently has all the Visual Reference Points modelled and they include the relevant charts as well.
If these airfields weren’t packaged together, I probably wouldn’t have bothered with them. For the extra tenner or so over the airport bundles, the full VFR pack makes for some nice tours.
