Trying to decide between different Nuuk, Greenland airport BGGH payware available in the store. There is one from FSIMSTUDIOS, one from MM Simulations, and one from FSDG. It appears these are all relatively new, since the airport is new and the number of reviews is limited.
I’m interested in both the best airport and the best version of Nuuk city enhancement. The FSIMSTUDIOS has the best sale for the next couple of days, but it is unclear if this is the best overall rendition.
There is a comparison here, and the M‘M is currently on sale. Should make the decision easy.
I looked at the above comparison and liked the FSimStudios best. I then looked at the description on Orbx, link below, and it seems they had a visit to the airport as recently as Feb this year and were stuck there due to bad weather. They did extensive modeling and updating while there. I preferred the colouring in this version vs M’M one.
Yes this one is slightly more expensive but for me the quality is better. There is a 2024 version and a 2020 version.
I made a review of the FSimStudios version, in which I compare it as best I can with the M’M and FSDG competition (bear in mind I don’t own the other two). FSimStudios’ is the best airport but FSDG’s offers a more developed city. M’M’s doesn’t have a city, per se, but does feature numerous landmarks.
Overall, I concluded that the best product overall is FSinmStudios, and I’ve not been disappointed.
Thank you for the detailed responses and links. That is helpful. So the FSimStudios (FSS) has the best BGGH Nuuk airport, at least terminal and aircraft side, but FSDG has the best town? That narrows it down but is tough. I know the MS/Asobo World Update did some minor things to Greenland - I’m assuming neither the FSS nor FSDG regress in anything airport related or Nuuk town POI related over the default MS/Asobo?
It comes down to this:
I like the thought of flying in the summer late at night in this region, so want to pick the right one.
Thank you!
I think I saw FSS say they do give access to free upgrades - check on my link above
Note: At FSimStudios, we are committed to no upgrade fees on all products from MSFS2020 to MSFS2024. Any products bought now or in the past will be available to use in MSFS2024 at no additional cost.
FsimStudios’ Nuuk is compatible with both sims but the 2024 version is only partially native (in that it supports walkaround mode but hasn’t been compiled exclusively with the 2024 SDK). I’d say the only area in which the FSDG airport is better is its terminal landside (outdoor). If you like terminal interiors, FSimStudios walk away with an easy win. M’M’s airport is a little too generic for my liking, featuring very little custom GSE. The other two feature decent custom GSE, with the edge going to FSimStudios.
Re the city, it’s probably closer between the three. For the sheer number of buildings, M’M’s is weakest. FSDG not only have the most extensive recreation of the city, but also include some fine detail absent from the FSimStudios rendition. M’M’s also includes some of this finer detail, incidentally. FSDG’s features what I think are more accurate representations of the little coloured houses unique to these parts, while M’M’s contains none.
Based purely on value, FSimStudios is the winner for me. FSDG’s is pricier and I’m not sure the premium is worth a few additional structures. M’M’s is around the same price as FSinmStudios’ but you’re arguably getting less for your money.
As far as I know, FSDG and M’M are also single purchases for both sim versions. All three developers provide updates (M’M and FSimStudios have released two each, already) but in FSDG’s case, they’re rare. FSimStudios and M’M are two of the best devs for keeping their products constantly up-to-date.
I purchased the FSDG version via simmarket.
I suspect the airport rendition is better by FSimStudios. Usually I go for airport accuracy above all, but town does look nicein the FSDG.
Can’t give a detailed comparison though since I don’t have the other version and am away from my Flight Simulator computer for a month. I think with either version you will be happy. Depends on where you place priority.
Purchased the FSimStudios version. It was on sale and cost 50% of the price of FSDG with the sale. Happy with the airport. Didn’t explore the town yet, but it seems decent enough on final approach.
Was the sale on ORBX? If so, I think I missed it - it’s currently showing as €16.36 for me.
It wasn’t discounted at Orbx in their summer sale. I think Contrail recently discounted it but I got my copy from FSimStudio’s own webstore, for about £8 ($11). It’s no longer discounted there.
In the marketplace, FSS is $10, M’M is $13, and FSDG is $20, as of now.
