/images/notams/notams22/navi0306.jpgDear Navigraph users, Navigraph has been following the developments following Russia'sinvasion of Ukraine very closely. We are shocked and appalled by theaggression, and the human tragedy it is causing. We are also deeply concerned for the safety and well-being ofNavigraph Team members in Ukraine, and are in continuous contact withthem. Under these circumstances, Navigraph is suspending services inRussia until further notice. No new accounts nor new subscriptionswill be accepted, and existing subscriptions will not be renewed. Thisis expected to take effect on March 7, 2022. For other customers, we are still assessing how the productoffering might be affected. Our IFR chart coverage always reflectsthat of Jeppesen. In our Charts app, routings over Russia and Ukrainewill still be suggested as long as the airway network is intact, andnot all countries and airlines are affected by the airspace ban inRussia. In SimBrief the suggested routes will depend on other usersplanning routes around Russia and Ukraine. So gradually routes thatavoid Russian airspace will be suggested but it might take sometime. The Navigraph Team In other news, Navigraph has just posted a new video in their trainingseries titled "Airport Chart Reading for Beginners Part 2": Source

/images/notams/notams22/russ0108.jpgThe function of this scenery is to modify the roads with new asphalttextures and to show roads in the default VFR map. This scenery consists ofrepaving of motorways, primary, secondary, tertiary and trunk roads. Thenewly paved roads after installation of this add-on are visible on cockpitmapping instruments and default VFR map. It has been made with MSFS smooth running in mind but will still providevalid VFR information while you fly. Purchase Taburet - Russia Roads MSFS See other Taburet scenery for MSFS 2020

UUEE Moscow SheremetyevoPublisher: Drzewiecki DesignReview Author: MrYorkiesWorldSuggested Price: $24.00/images/fsc/wbicons/store-buy-now-button.png /images/reviews/drzeuuee/t/drzewiecki-moscow-uuee-12.jpgIntroductionHello again everyone, my name is Jay(AKA MrYorkiesWorld) with yet another product review for MicrosoftFlight Simulator. Today I'm going to be reviewing Drzewiecki Design -Moscow UUEE for MSFS. I'd like to thank my good friend Dom Smith over at FlightSim.Comfor providing a copy of this scenery for me to review. It's probablyone of the bigger sceneries that I've reviewed so far with a lot ofcomplexity to it, and I'm very excited to get into things and to tellyou about this awesome piece of scenery. About The AirportMoscow UUEE is currently the busiest airport in Russia, and thefifth busiest airport in Europe with around six or seven terminals intotal. You'll find both cargo flights and passenger flights travellingto and from many places around the world, including places such asSpain, Amsterdam and even New York. /images/reviews/drzeuuee/t/drzewiecki-moscow-uuee-20.jpg /images/reviews/drzeuuee/t/drzewiecki-moscow-uuee-21.jpg /images/reviews/drzeuuee/t/drzewiecki-moscow-uuee-03.jpg /images/reviews/drzeuuee/t/drzewiecki-moscow-uuee-04.jpgThe airport can be accessed via road, rail, and bus, and even hasits own underground Automated Passenger Transportation System whichlets you get to and from the different terminals in the airportitself. This system isn't just limited to passengers however - thereis also a separate tunnel underground used for Automated BaggageTransport. The airport itself was opened on the 11th of August 1959, and in2017, the airport handled over 40 million passengers, and over 308,000aircraft movements. Features, Graphics And ModellingSo, jumping into the simulator, let's look at some of the visualsin this awesome piece of scenery. Many of the images I've captured arein 1080p, although I will also try to include some 4K screen shots ofthe scenery as they really help bring out those additional detailsthat are included. /images/reviews/drzeuuee/t/drzewiecki-moscow-uuee-05.jpg /images/reviews/drzeuuee/t/drzewiecki-moscow-uuee-06.jpgThe terminal buildings are well modelled, and the textures seem tobe spot on. They look good, are clear and sharp, and they seem tomatch up pretty well with what you'd see in the real world, which isalways nice to see. Obviously, I'm using the latest version of the simwith Sim Update 5 and Hotfix 2, and for the most part the graphics andtextures look really good. In terms of official information from Drzewiecki Design, we have the following important points: High quality model of UUEE Sheremetyevo airport in MoscowExtensive though performance-friendly interior modelling at mostterminal buildings, control towers and hangarsFPS-friendly design, with epic night textures, dynamic lightingand PBR materialsHigh-definition mesh including exact runway profileA variety of static aircraft, advanced night lighting, customanimations, custom animated jetways, animated trains, 3D people /images/reviews/drzeuuee/t/drzewiecki-moscow-uuee-07.jpg /images/reviews/drzeuuee/t/drzewiecki-moscow-uuee-08.jpgHaving flown in and around this airport in the sim for quite sometime, I can verify that the modelling of UUEE is indeed very highquality, and the runway profile appears to be perfectly in-line withthat of its real-world counterpart. The dynamic lights and PBRmaterials seem accurate, and the night textures are truly amazing andvery realistic. PerformanceMoving on to performance... I've recently upgraded to 4K graphics,and I found that I could quite easily get between 30 and 40 fpsdepending on where I was on the ground. On approach I was gettinganywhere between 35 and 45 fps in 4K, and so I expect that 1080p wouldallow for frame rates up to 60 fps based on the performance we'reseeing in Sim Update 5 right now. In some cases, I did see a bit of stutter or lag, but again, thiswas mainly whilst running the sim in 4K, and so 1080p saw a lot lessof this overall. /images/reviews/drzeuuee/t/drzewiecki-moscow-uuee-09.jpg /images/reviews/drzeuuee/t/drzewiecki-moscow-uuee-10.jpg /images/reviews/drzeuuee/t/drzewiecki-moscow-uuee-22.jpg /images/reviews/drzeuuee/t/drzewiecki-moscow-uuee-23.jpgOne thing to note throughout this review are my system specs. I'mcurrently using an Intel Core i9 9900k, along with the RTX 2080Ti and32 GB of RAM. As such, it's likely we'd see better frame rates on the30 series GPUs, especially in 4K. Night LightingAs expected, this scenery looks brilliant during the night. Thedynamic lights are all there, and the textures and reflections stilllook as good as they did during the day. I was really impressed by how"alive" the airport looks, and as per the features list, the lightingdoes indeed look epic! A lot of sceneries can look a little grainy at night, and as such,can lose some of their quality, but I can safely say that was not thecase for me with Drzewiecki Design's rendition of MoscowSheremetyevo. The taxiway markings, runway textures and reflectionsall looked perfect, and I didn't notice any grainy textures at all,which was an added bonus. /images/reviews/drzeuuee/t/drzewiecki-moscow-uuee-24.jpg /images/reviews/drzeuuee/t/drzewiecki-moscow-uuee-25.jpg /images/reviews/drzeuuee/t/drzewiecki-moscow-uuee-11.jpg /images/reviews/drzeuuee/t/drzewiecki-moscow-uuee-13.jpgAccuracyAs far as accuracy goes, I was really impressed with what thedevelopers had managed to achieve. The airport seems pretty close towhat it looks like in real life, especially when checked with eitherGoogle or Bing Maps, which is always reassuring. There might be theodd building here and there that doesn't look identical to itsreal-life counterpart, or indeed some that are missing, but in myopinion, most things look pretty good in this scenery. So, in terms ofaccuracy, I didn't notice any major issues. Price And Final VerdictAt time of writing, you can pick up this amazing piece of sceneryfor $24, which is around £17.32, and which is more thanacceptable in my opinion. If you're looking for a great piece ofscenery to bring Moscow UUEE to life, then Drzewiecki Design'srendition is the way to go. You can pick the scenery up from theFlightSim.com Store, or from other online vendors such asAerosoft. /images/reviews/drzeuuee/t/drzewiecki-moscow-uuee-01.jpg /images/reviews/drzeuuee/t/drzewiecki-moscow-uuee-02.jpgAgain, I'd like to thank my good friend Dom Smith over atFlightSim.Com for providing me with this scenery for review.

This product is compatiblewith FSX-based platforms including Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX)and Lockheed Martin Prepar3D (P3D). Please note that this product doesnot include the city of Moscow but is fully compatible and designed towork together with Moscow City X by Drzewiecki Design. Sheremetyevo Alexander S. Pushkin International Airport (IATA: SVO,ICAO: UUEE) is one of four international airports that serves the cityof Moscow, and is the busiest airport in Russia. Originally built as amilitary airbase, Sheremetyevo was converted into a civilian airportin 1959, and in a 2019 contest, was named after Russian poet AlexanderPushkin. The airport comprises six terminals: four internationalterminals (one under construction), one domestic terminal, and oneprivate aviation terminal. It is located in 29 km (18 mi) northwest ofcentral Moscow, in the city of Khimki, Moscow Oblast. In 2017, theairport handled 40.1 million passengers and 308,090 aircraftmovements. During 2018, the airport reported a 14.3% increase inpassengers for a total of 45.8 million. There was also a 15.9%increase in aircraft traffic year over year. Sheremetyevo serves asthe main hub for Russian flag carrier Aeroflot and its branch RossiyaAirlines, Nordwind Airlines and its branch Pegas Fly, Royal Flight,and Ural Airlines. /images/notams/notams19//drze1026/uuee-1.jpgSheremetyevo International Airport currently has five operatingpassenger terminals and one special terminal reserved for the use ofprivate and business aviation. The airport's terminals are dividedinto two groups based on geographical location: the north and southterminal areas. The two terminal areas are linked by regular internaland external bus services. Terminal A opened in 2012 to the east ofTerminal B and is used for the servicing of business and privateaviation. The new terminal B commenced its operations on 3 May2018. The terminal is connected by an interterminal undergroundpassage with Sheremetyevo's southern terminals and the Aeroexpressrailway station. The former Terminal C was closed on 1 April 2017 tobe demolished for reconstruction of a newer terminal. Integrated withthe now-reconstructed domestic Terminal B, the new Terminal C isdesigned to serve up to 20 million passengers. The first stage ofTerminal C was opened in 2020. The further expansion is planned to beopened in 2022. Terminal D, opened in November 2009, is adjacent toTerminal F. It has 22 jetways and 11 remote stands. Terminal E openedin 2010 as a capacity expansion project, connecting terminals D andF. The terminal's construction has allowed for the development ofterminals D and F, as well as the railway station, into a single southterminal complex. Terminal F opened on May 6, 1980 for the MoscowSummer Olympics. Terminal F, previously Sheremetyevo-2, has 15 jetwaysand 21 remote aircraft stands. The terminal was designed to service 6million passengers per year. /images/notams/notams19//drze1026/uuee-2.jpgFeaturesHigh quality model of UUEE Sheremetyevo airport in Moscow,featuring the most up-to-date version possible including airport partsthat are still under constructionExtensive though performance-friendly interior modeling at mostterminal buildings, control tower and some hangarsSODE jetways, SODE VGDS compatibility, automatic seasonalswitching, custom animations, conditional animations, custom charts,advanced rwy/twy weather-dependent lighting, Dynamic Lighting inP3Dv4, static aircraft and people, full use of P3Dv4 materials,special effects, sounds, extensive mesh design, custom-made vehiclesand trains... and much more!Highly advanced performance-friendly design, numerous optimizationtechniques used, the Lite Texture Pack provided for lower VAS usage on32-bit platforms /images/notams/notams19//drze1026/uuee-3.jpgCompatibilityUUEE Moscow Sheremetyevo X V2 is compatible with Moscow City X byDrzewiecki Design, all ORBX products, all PILOT¡¦S products and allMegascenery products.
