Nairobi Jomo Keyniatta : a great african airport

FSX. This is a rare event. It reminds me of Casablanca for FS9. What we have here, is the first* heavy airport - quality payware - for FSX in Africa. Nairobi is the second airport from the new designer OrientalSim, after Baghdad last year. But its a nice jump in quality.

(*) First heavy airport. Aerosoft launched a Monastir airport (a nice one) but its more of a mid-size platform.

The main circular terminal

Cargo area. A lot of colorful hangars and docks

Jomo Kenyatta (HKJK) has just one long runway but you will find a large circular terminal (like in T1 in CDG) and around, several cargos areas and hotels. The terminal has jetways, there are streets with signs and ads, custom typical trees but no car traffic. The ground textures are neat and detailed. At dusk, the terminal and building unveil nice photoreal textures. The framerate is perfect. One reproach ; the photoreal grounds in the cargos areas have not a very high definition but that often depends on available materials.

The bad :

We could have better definition of photoreal textures in cargo areas, no custom car traffic.

The file : 36 megabytes. One simple execution but you need to record  yourself the folder in the library.

The good :

Professional quality. The main terminal is well depicted. A lot of buildinds and hangars. A rare destination and a lot of new flights opportunities ; long hauls, flights toward Europe, North Africa or toward Indian ocean (Mauritius island and the excellent Max Kraus airport), Reunion island (see France Touristique scenery) etc. Long flights from or toward this airport will be thrilling. Another interest of this location is the harsh weather in this continent. Long north-south (and vice-versa) flights are really challenging at some periods. 

Main terminal. High def. photoreal images.
