Reviewing scenery with a large, stretched area is not always easy. On the other hand, because it covers a large area, it could also be fun to check such add-ons out. They are always better than the default X-Plane ground tiles, right?

Angelique, your reporter, takes a very long flight to Hawaii and starts exploring the Taburet Hawaii Plus Reef for X-Plane 12. According to Angelique, “It has become an enjoyable adventure. I left out my experiences of the Northern Sky/Orbx airports and airfields and tried to concentrate only on the Taburet Hawaii Plus Reef add-on package. I also left out the SimHeaven X-World America package because it didn’t feel good, particularly the created forests in some places in a way that doesn’t exist.”

That said, the planned flight was a success. My adventure started in the Far West, hopping from one island to another and ending at the most significant island. Curious how she flew from one island to the other and what she saw? Check out her in-depth Hawaii review. Comments or suggestions are always welcome.

It is not that far from Angelique’s hometown, Prayssac Lot, and therefore, it is an interesting idea to check out the Aerosoft-released airport from Marseille Provence. It is interesting because SFD (ShortFinalDesign) was one of the developers.

Your personal reporter, Angelique van Campen, is pleased that she reviewed this French airport. It is always good to have such airports along the route—oops, along your flight. They are not too big, and it is easy to fly in and out. They don’t have a considerable taxiway system or complicated terminals, although ShortFinalDesign did a great job modelling all these dedicated Marseille Provence airport buildings, hangars, offices, and so on.

The airport where you arrive and depart is well-made and almost perfectly crafted to give the feeling that you have landed in the Mediterranean. You can check out her findings via this comprehensive review link. Enjoy, as usual.

We are happy to inform you that our reviewer, Paul Beckwith, has finished his in-depth review of the FunnerFlight John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) version 3.0 for X-Plane 12. In the summary, Paul explains that “John F. Kennedy International Airport is one of those airports that has the capacity to be a real gem in the simulator universe with it’s massive size, multiple terminal buildings featuring different architectural styles, complex and challenging taxiways, dense surrounding commercial areas, and its location in the shadows of the New York City skyline.”

And “All in all, this is an admirable effort at recreating a large and complex airport. The degree of its appeal is limited only by the extent to which virtual pilots insist on true reality in their scenery.” Want to read the whole story? Just follow Paul’s FunnerFlight KJFK v3 review link.

Enjoy the reading.

We are pleased to inform you that our dedicated reviewer Paul Beckwith has finish his in-depth review of the Orbx Melbourne International Airport (YMML) for X-Plane 12.

According to Paul “ This can be a “must have” airport for airline pilots if they are willing to go the route of installing a plug-in for pushback services or utilize self-powered pushbacks from the gates. High Resolution 5cm/pixel updated imagery – this is very clearly included in the package and has been creatively utilized to enhance the impact of the scenery.”

But there is so much more Paul would like to share with you. Therefore, enough about this. Lets heading for Paul’s review. You can find his comprehensive at X-Plained.Com by clicking this review link. When you are happy with the review or have any suggestions, feel free to leave a comment.
