This will be the first review I've done for the studio and well, lets see how it goes :)

Issue 1 will focus on Fly Tampa's newest scenery release : Princess Juliana


Ill start off this review by saying how impressed I am by this piece of beauty from FT, as with all there scenery's the utmost attention to detail has been kept. The scenery itself is very pleasing to the eye and has little to no impact on frames (see screenshot further down). I normally got a constant 24-30 fps with traffic and sim settings maxed :) The sunrise is a very nice thing to see when
moving about this airport and really adds to just how nice this scenery really is.

Rain doesnt bring this scenery down ;)
Image
As this next shot shows when combined with a traffic and other GA addons this airport becomes a living and breathing area. With all the baggage carts moving about, the motorcycles, cars, and traffic moving around it is really something to see. And obviously not the norm you see in FS9.
Image
Each piece of autogen has been made with allot of attention to detail with little hit in performance...if any.
Image
Image
In conclusion this scenery is really something to behold. I could spend hours just flying around checking out every little detail it has to offer, not to mention the other smaller airports it comes with :) As always the approach and departure from the airport are fun and interesting to do and this scenery just heightens that enjoyment of it with the breathtaking beauty of the area.
In case you cant tell I would recommend this scenery to anyone looking for something really great for there sim or an airport to end there long flight or short hop at. If anyone else has any opinions of this newest addition to the Fly Tampa line feel free to post.

P.S. I'm sorry for such a short review this is mainly a test to see how everything pans out 8-) So this time you guys get a short and to the point review.

Great little review Monkey - short reviews are fine, I'd say... especially twinned with such beautiful shots. On first viewing they look like real photos... the first one looks real even on fourth or fifth sight!! Awesome!

I just have to get that scenery!!

Great review, different from others in that the shots you have provided are not the usual beach view and similar.
I have this package but not had time to give it a good go, this review has deffinetly encouraged me to find some time
