Introduction

FlyMex Software is a developer withmore than 25 years of presence in the world of flightsimulation. Mexico City VFR Landmarks is one of their most recentproducts for MSFS 2020 with which they seek to significantly improvethe flight experience when flying over one of the top 10 mostpopulated cities in the world, and the most populated in all ofAmerica.

It is important to note that this product does not make any changesto the Mexico City Airport.

The City

Mexico City is a very large area, however FlyMex has spared noeffort to place a significant number of buildings and landmarksthroughout the city. According to the developer, there are hundreds ofbuildings and POIs that have been placed, putting special detail andcare in the skyscrapers of the city, as well as iconic buildings suchas the Palacio de Bellas Artes, Castillo de Chapultepec, PalacioNacional among many others.

Although its name implies that it is a scenery focused on VFRflights, for IFR flights it also improves flight immersion, especiallywhen making the ILS approach to runway 05 or when taking off fromrunway 23.

FlyMex has included in the scenery the pre-Columbian city ofTeotihucan, which means "Birthplace of the Gods" and is currently acultural and tourist attraction due to its archaeologicalmonuments. In 1987 it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO andis very well represented in this product.

The night lighting in general is very good, there are buildingsthat have better lighting than others, however the city looks muchbetter at night compared to the standard scenery and several POIs inthe city can be easily identified at night.

Conclusion

One aspect that I think could be improved in the scenery is tounify the quality of the textures used in the buildings, since thereare buildings where it is seems that FlyMex has taken advantage of thenew graphic resources that MSFS 2020 allows to use, but in others thereare buildings that seem taken from FSX or even earlier versions whichmay clash a bit with the graphic level of the simulator in general,however this point when flying over the city is not so relevant sincethese aspects are noticeable when taking close shots, which from ourplane in flight is not very noticeable.

In the video you can clearly compare the standard MSFS 2020 sceneryand the scenery developed by FlyMex, and the improvement obtained withthis product is evident, as always, I hope it will be useful for thosewho are thinking of purchasing this scenery.
