Keflavik Int'l AirportPublisher: TaimodelsReview Author: Paul MortSuggested Price: $20.00/images/fsc/wbicons/store-buy-now-button.png /images/reviews/taikefla/t/taimodels-keflavik-03.jpg /images/reviews/taikefla/t/taimodels-keflavik-04.jpgHello fellow flight simulatorenthusiasts and welcome to my first review since coming out ofhospital. In this article I will be giving my thoughts on Taimodels -Keflavik International Airport (BIKF) for X-Plane 11. My last sceneryreview was set in the tropical climate of the Amazon, so this reviewwas quite a departure. IntroductionKeflavik Airport, also known as Reykjavik-Keflavik Airport, is thelargest airport in Iceland and the country's main hub forinternational transportation. The airport is 1.7 nautical miles westof Keflavik and 50 km southwest of Reykjavik. The main carrier atKeflavik is Icelandair, which has the airport as its main hub. /images/reviews/taikefla/t/taimodels-keflavik-05.jpg /images/reviews/taikefla/t/taimodels-keflavik-06.jpg /images/reviews/taikefla/t/taimodels-keflavik-01.jpg /images/reviews/taikefla/t/taimodels-keflavik-02.jpgAirport WalkaboutAs many of you who read my reviews know, one of the first things Ilike to do is have a walk around the airport looking at all the smalldetails. With Keflavik I started my tour at the main attraction, thatbeing the main terminal building. The terminal itself is named afterLeifur Eiriksson, a Norse explorer, and was opened in 1987. Justoutside the terminal is the Jet Nest sculpture. This has beenmodelled in full 3D, and it was nice to see it included in thescenery. It's one of those details that could have easily been leftout, so well done to the developers for including it. Going back to the terminal, and I was quite impressed with theamount of detail on offer. The structure is not your normal affairand is quite intricate in places. It's roughly "T" in shape, with thegates situated on the bottom left and right. Being an amateur 3Dmodeller myself, I would definitely have found it a challenge tocreate! Moving on to the textures of the terminal, and this was where Istarted to find a few problems. Unlike many sceneries I have used andreviewed in the past, I was disappointed to see that there was noweathering to be seen in any of the textures. Iceland's climate canbe quite unforgiving at times, so a structure exposed to the elementswould look far from pristine. Due to this, I felt the terminal lackedauthenticity, which was a shame considering the quality of themodelling. Had the developers added some weathering to age the lookof the building, it would have helped it greatly, but sadly none waspresent. /images/reviews/taikefla/t/taimodels-keflavik-07.jpg /images/reviews/taikefla/t/taimodels-keflavik-08.jpg /images/reviews/taikefla/t/taimodels-keflavik-09.jpg /images/reviews/taikefla/t/taimodels-keflavik-10.jpgThe same problem arose with the concrete and asphalt groundtextures situated around the airport. They were all nicely placed, itwas just a shame they looked so artificial. Yes, there was someweathering to be seen, but unfortunately, the way they had beencreated looked unrealistic. Moving on to the airport car parks, and I was really pleased to seethat the developers had used large numbers of 3D vehicles to populatethem. Many of you will know that one of my pet hates is ortho imageryof car parks without vehicles, so this got my nod of approval. Ortho imagery around the airport for the most part is donereasonably well, just don't get too close as it breaks down quitequickly. As you move outwards, you'll find numerous hangars and maintenancefacilities dotted around the airport. Whilst relatively accurate interms of placement, I was disappointed to see that many of them (ifnot the majority), were standard X-Plane objects. Whilst this nodoubt helps with performance (more on that later), it was a shame theyweren't custom made. /images/reviews/taikefla/t/taimodels-keflavik-11.jpg /images/reviews/taikefla/t/taimodels-keflavik-12.jpgAn airport wouldn't be complete without aircraft, so I was pleasedto see there were models for the airlines normally seen at Keflavik.These included the likes of airBaltic, Icelandair, Air Canada andBritish Airways, to name just a few. Having these airlines present,really helped bring the airport to life and was great to see. Night LightingNight lighting at Keflavik was a bit of a mixed bag. Whilst themain terminal building did employ night lighting effects, I found itto be quite flat, especially the large glass areas situated on theroof and sides of the terminal. The shop windows at ground levelfared better but were too dim in my opinion. However, the runway andtaxiway lights were excellent, and I had no problems at all navigatingmy way around the airport. PerformanceUnlike many X-Plane users, my PC is not cutting edge, so I waspleased to see that Keflavik ran without issues on my computer.Having only a 4 GB graphics card means I have to think about my graphicsettings, but even when I pushed them up to high, the scenery stillworked flawlessly. /images/reviews/taikefla/t/taimodels-keflavik-13.jpg /images/reviews/taikefla/t/taimodels-keflavik-14.jpgConclusionAs mentioned above, there are parts of this scenery which I reallyliked, such as the modelling of the main terminal building, the JetNest sculpture and the realistic airline traffic situated around theairport. Unfortunately, a lack of custom objects away from the mainterminal and texturing issues let the scenery down. These are allareas however which I feel the developer can improve on, and if theydid, then it would move the scenery on to another level. As itstands, this is probably one of the best sceneries for X-Plane ofKeflavik, so if you can live with the issues mentioned, then I thinkyou would enjoy it. /images/reviews/taikefla/title3.jpgHope you found this review informative.
