Review: Realworld Scenery - Nome Alaska PAOM for MSFS 2020
Nels_Anderson posted an article in Featured
Nome Alaska PAOMPublisher: Realworld SceneryReview Author: Joshua MooreSuggested Price: $14.00/images/fsc/wbicons/store-buy-now-button.pngIntroductionI have wanted to review an Alaskanairport for a long time, as I remember a book I once read during mychildhood, about Balto, the lead sled dog that helped carry medicinefrom Nenana to Nome during the winter of 1925. Seeing Nome airportavailable on the FlightSim.Com Store immediately brought back pastmemories of this story and as such I was intrigued with what Nomewould offer. This scenery of Nome Airport is from Realworld Scenery, the samedeveloper who created St. Louis International Airport, a scenery Ihavepreviously reviewed. Nome Airport today serves the city of Nome and has multiple dailyservices with Alaska Airlines connecting it to Anchorage, as well asthe headquarters of Bering Air, who operate 18 scheduled routes fromNome. With that out of the way, let's hop into the sim and check thisairport out! /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-1.jpg /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-2.jpg /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-3.jpg /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-4.jpgFirst ImpressionsInstalling the scenery into the sim was both simple andstraightforward. Upon first loading into MSFS, I was greeted with anice presentation of Nome. Coming from KSTL, it was a pleasantexperience, and I had no issues with performance at all. The airportblends in very well with its surroundings, and my initial impressionsof the buildings, textures, and modeling of the airport were quitepositive (more on all these later). /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-5.jpg /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-6.jpg /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-7.jpg /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-8.jpgExploring The AirportNome is quite small, having two runways, a small terminal building,and multiple hangars on both sides of the airport. The terminal isused solely by Alaska Airlines and has the airline name both airsideand on the front of the building. Bering Air has a large hangaradjacent to the terminal and is modeled quite well, with the BeringAir logo on the hangar door being modeled in 3D, something which hasbecome a standard feature with modern scenery packages. The oppositeside of the airport includes many smaller hangars, presumably for GAaircraft, and looks quite nice. Multiple objects are spread across theapron, and these include pallets, crates, plus boxes stacked upwaiting to be loaded and shipped. The whole experience feels veryauthentic, and as such, I enjoyed it a lot. I do wish that there werea few more static aircraft around to give it a slightly livelierappearance, but this is a small complaint. /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-9.jpg /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-10.jpg /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-11.jpg /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-12.jpg /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-13.jpg /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-14.jpgTexturesThe textures were an area I was quite eager to see, as those usedin St. Louis, were disappointing. However, this was not the case withNome, as I am happy to report that the texture quality in almost everysense is quite acceptable and representative of what I would expect tosee. There are plenty of weathering effects applied to the textures,plus many other small details which only add to the plausibility ofthe scenery, and I love the overall effect it provides. The runway and taxiway textures are custom made and are moreweathered than the standard MSFS versions. Due to their design, theyadd a degree of realism which would not have been possible had thedeveloper used the default textures. There could be more variation,but what you get is still quite acceptable for the airport's size. Ireally appreciate the upgrade in quality that is presented here overSt. Louis. The effects of snow on the airport is quite interesting, and yourresults will vary on whether or not you are using a third party runwayand taxiway texture add-on. I had REX textures installed and notedsnow to be lacking a lot more than with the default MSFStextures. This is most likely not a scenery issue but rather the wayREX treats snow on surfaces vs Asobo's method. As such, the screenshots showing snow are those with default textures and not REX, as noteveryone will have add-on textures installed. Window textures are still flat shapes, and no terminal interior isincluded, but that is the only downside for me in this area. I dothink that MSFS's parallax technology could greatly enhance theexperience of the terminal and other buildings, but that will be leftto the developer to implement. /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-15.jpg /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-16.jpg /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-17.jpg /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-18.jpg /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-19.jpg /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-20.jpgLightingThe night lighting of the airport is for me, one of the mostimpressive parts of the scenery. Almost every light is dynamic, andwhen you add snow to the mix, it really does have a cold appearancethat screams winter, and it is something which I feel the same aboutin real life. Anyone who tried to run through a preflight checklistquickly and safely before starting an aircraft in winter, will knowexactly what I mean. The terminal windows are white squares and non-textured, so again,the parallax technology would be greatly appreciated here to improvethat look, as in wintertime you will see plenty of whitewindows. Everywhere else however, the lighting is done very well andgives the airport plenty of light to work with in the darker months. /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-21.jpg /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-22.jpg /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-23.jpg /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-24.jpgConclusionComing from St. Louis, I would be lying if I didn't have my doubtsabout this scenery. However, these were quashed on arrival as NomeAirport was highly enjoyable from the get-go. It really is a fantasticaddition for anyone trying to build up their Alaskan airport scenerynetwork in preparation for the arrival of PMDG's 737NG for MSFS. Whenyou combine these two together, it will make for some amazing Alaskanadventures. Nome Airport also makes for a great starting point in which toexplore some of the smaller Alaskan airports that Bering Air flies to,namely Unalakleet,White Mountain, etc. If you're looking to fly out of western Alaska,Realworld Scenery's Nome Airport comes highly recommended. /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-25.jpg /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-26.jpg /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-27.jpg /images/reviews/realnome/t/Realworld-Scenery-Nome-28.jpg/images/reviews/realnome/title3.jpgJoshua Moore Purchase Realworld Scenery - Nome Alaska PAOM for MSFS See other Realworld Scenery for MSFS 2020 -
