Amazing scenery! Also, I am impressed with the fact VerticalSiulations continues to update their existing scenery to make it better and they provide these improvements to their existing customers at no additional cost. Great customer service!!

This rendering of the KCID airport is outstanding. Being a resident of this area for 40+ years, I have flown into and out of this airport countless times on both business and vacation travel and use this as the home airport for my flight sim activities. My rating for the airport portion of this is definitely 5 stars. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the downtown Cedar Rapids portion. The buildings are good, but there are problems with their placement. The larger structures are floating above the ground and some are placed such that they interfere with streets and highways, especially Interstate 380. I checked to make sure that I have the default XP11 terrain mesh and don’t see any instructions with this custom scenery that would affect this. So, I am looking forward with hope that these downtown issues will be corrected with future updates. I still applaud the overall package and will probably try removing the downtown folder from the contents that I placed in the Custom Scenery folder for now because the airport alone is well worth the price.

I had problems with this scenery – some of the grass was very dark, almost black. This is the only issue I have had with any of my VS purchases. I contacted the developer and he quickly explained that some form of mesh was needed. He provided several solutions including free downloads from his own content and in the end gave me a lite solution. Excellent customer support.

I go to cedar Rapids every summer for flight lessons. This airport is a perfect rendition of the airport in real-life. All the details are shown like the roof at the garage, the green building off of rwy27, and the Cedar Rapids flight school with parking lot. The night lighting and PBR textures looks phenomenal. This is like a 30 dollar airport but -only costs 6. Its amazing!!!
