Released: TaiModels Bengaluru Kempegowda VOBL (FS2020 & 2024)

Releasing Monday 6th at the IniBuilds store. Great to see India getting more love in the sim, and this dev seems to have improved a lot lately.

No mention of whether or not it’s a 2024-exclusive, though. Xbox release planned for 15th Nov.

Another Indian airport is always appreciated!

And for long I have been waiting for someone to create a scenery for vomm.

I got it. Overall, I like it very much. The buildings are beautifully modelled. I particularly like the dirty apron textures. However, the textures of the roads are one of the airport’s biggest weaknesses for me. They look very unrealistic. Unfortunately, Taimodels also uses these overly grainy road textures in their other sceneries. Another point of criticism are the completely flat taxiways and runways without any terraforming. Apart from that, however, it is a very nice airport that I can recommend. The terminal interiors are very detailed, even if they don’t quite match the quality of the absolute top developers. There is plenty of custom clutter and I also like the night lighting. The performance is also very good on my sytem, especially considering the huge size of the airport.

Just got the airport in the current Contrail sale. By night, it has to be one of the most attractive airports ever developed for MSFS. I had no experience with TaiModels before now but I shan’t hesitate to buy an airport of theirs in future. Performance is superb, particularly given the size and detail, and BATC compatibility is spot on. All procedures are enabled/functional, too.

Another dev to add to my top 10 list, methinks.

I have this airport as well and I love it. I bought their KMCI recently and that one is really nice too.

Good to hear! I’ve never purchased any of theirs either, but I plan to this week since they are now listed on Contrail. I plan to get KBZN to fly routes across Yellowstone NP to Jackson Hole when the World Update drops on July 4th. But this one along with their WSSS, ZBAD and KMCI are also on my wish list. I would purchase YBCS too if they would update the airport, especially the GA areas. It was one of their earlier releases but are asking too much for it given the quality and age. After the recent Australia WU, I purchased almost every available Aussie airport except Cairns.

Their Bengaluru airport is really very good, I have it.

I wouldn’t mind KBZN but, honestly, it doesn’t look anywhere near as good as VOBL (or KMCI, for that matter). ZBAD just about looks okay but as you say, YBCS was their first scenery and it’s way overpriced, given the (poor) quality.

To my eye, VOBL, KMCI and CYQB look much better than the others. KBZN’s interior is impressive, no doubt, but external elements of it look mediocre, in my opinion.

If I were looking for a good WSSS, I’d at least wait till Cloudsurf’s v2 drops (shouldn’t be long now).

I agree with your take on the quality of their other airports. It’s something I’ve considered as well and one of the reasons I haven’t purchased any of them yet. But there aren’t any alternatives if it’s somewhere you want to fly in and out of, except for WSSS. I’m also aware Cloudsurf is working on a V2 of it, but I haven’t seen any information on an anticipated release window.
