eneva 2000 from FlightWorld Editions is a scenery and aircraft package which contains 25 airports over Switzerland,
France and Morocco and 25 different aircraft.
The Geneva 2000 package has a good visual image, but when you open it things change a bit. Inside the package you get one CD-ROM and two really short manuals. One of them teaches you how to install the package step by step; it's really simple to install Geneva 2000. You will also notice one other manual. It contains five approach charts from Jeppesen. At this point I have asked myself the question "Where are the manuals?". I dig a bit and found that they have decided to put every single manual on the CD. You will have the manuals, yes, but only in online format. In my opinion since I am the one making the review I prefer paper version but everyone has the right to have their own opinion.
Coming to my Flight Simulator and loading the scenery…OK good…I am at Geneva Cointrin rwy 05, everything sounds really good to me…only a grass runway is there. Let me take a flight with the Cessna over the city of Geneva. "Cessna 1234 cleared for takeoff"…roger tower, clr for t/o 1234…here we go guys…
The scenery details are really good. They have made a good effort to put good scenery onto the market. Try to land on the grass field under Geneva airport, you will love it.
I don't live in Geneva but I have talked to a friend of mine that lives there and he had told me that the details of the airport are almost as the real one’s. About airport details I think I could say to Christian Fonck and all the team members to keep up the good work.
There are just a point that I really didn't like, the taxiways. Taxiways are not that good. For a next product I hope that they invest more time into that. I know that making a product like this one is not that simple but Christian try to improve in taxiways in your next products.
I forget to tell you folks, you also have aircraft in the package…that’s a surprise. I can only forward with one, a Boeing from McDonald’s, yeah right, McDonald’s. The planes are good but you could also find these planes on the web as a Freeware planes.
Positive: The scenery is really good; not the best one but good.
Negative: The manual format. The price! A little expensive.

If I could rate this package I would give it 90% score, just because of no taxiways details and because of manuals.
