[MSFS2020] | ANTIGUA, V.C. BIRD INTERNATIONAL BY TROPICALSIM | NEW VERSION 2.0 REVIEW
14Hello Folks and welcome to this late video review that I have managed to complete for upload this week. As promised, we are looking at the new VERSION 2.0 offering from TROPICALSIM, of their rendition of ANTIGUA, V.C. BIRD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (TAPA) in the eastern Caribbean.
Having not seen the earlier version, the object of this review is not to compare this offering with the previous version, but to just look closely at the product and see how good it is and if it is worth the price being asked. There is a lot to like about this version - and there is also a lot missing too! The main Terminal is excellent. Many people making the place come alive, including Check-in Agents, Security and Customs Officials, none of which seem to affect the framerate either. But outside, a big reliance on photo scenery at a low resolution which could have been rendered in 3D to make it look better. However, the work and modelling is extensive and includes the Radar Station and numerous GA hangers by the old disused runway. We look close up at this scenery to see just how good it is.
