[MSFS2020] | MANCHESTER AIRPORT, (EGCC) by TAIMODELS | HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO THE MACCOSIM VERSION ?
31Hello Folks and welcome to this week's first video review, where I take a close look at the new MANCHESTER AIRPORT, UK (EGCC) Payware Scenery product from developer TAIMODELS. This is a newly up-to-date version of a popular and important Airport here in the UK and in this video, I intend to get up close and personal to see just how good it is.
Whilst I do not intend to fully compare it to the current payware offering from MACCOSIM, there are obvious parallels and viewers have told me that they want to know which is better. It should be noted that MACCOSIM has stated that an overhaul of their scenery version is in progress and so this product by TAIMODELS will, of course, be different. There are some issues in this scenery and one little show stopper for me - the heavy use of low resolution photo ground, which in the daylight does not work very well for me anyway. The darkness hours are, however, much better and the night lighting is excellent. But check out the video and see if you agree with my conclusions at the end.
