New release: SoFly Budapest Ferenc Liszt LHBP (FS2024)

Available from IniBuilds and SoFly’s own store, for the exact same price (including a launch discount). Now, I might be putting two and two together and getting five here, but I suspect this is actually the Skyhigh Studios version, now marketed and released by SoFly. If it isn’t… we have a third LHBP on the way!

One anomaly I do note is the old Malev 762 hulk near the tower is in fact a 321 in SoFly’s version. In LH’s, it’s properly modelled. Personally, I’m sticking with LH’s, given that they’re Hungarian and therefore likely more passionate about the project.

Also out on SoFly’s own store.

I would love to see a thorough comparison between this and LHSimulations’ own LHBP. I have the latter and it’s very good, relatively up to date as well but it would be fun to see if SoFly’s version looks better and/or offers better features.

One bug I have with the LHSimulations version is that asphalt surfaces don’t show up on G1000 screens and synthetic vision. Something’s not defined right. I’m curious about this SoFly scenery.

The fact that the old Malev 762 is a 321 (with sharklets) in the SoFly version raises red flags with me. That should not have been missed.

Live stream of the new airport (not mine).

Having watched the stream, it looks pretty decent. Still not keen on the two Airbuses on the fire dump (they should be an ex-Malev 762 and ex-Air Ukraine 732 respectively, as in the LH version) but almost everything else looks good. There’s no doubt the terminal interiors are better than LH’s but the lack of illumination in parts is a significant oversight.

The current launch price is great if you don’t have a version already, but probably a bit steep when there are aspects of the LH that are arguably better. I’m sticking with what I have on this one, since the latest LH build is 2024-native.

I still think this is the Skyhigh version, taken over by SoFly.
