[MSFS2020] | LA GUARDIA AIRPORT, NEW YORK (KLGA) BY MK STUDIOS | A VIDEO REVIEW

Hello Folks and welcome to the first of this week's videos, where we take a look at LA GUARDIA AIRPORT in NEW YORK, USA (KLGA). Also, can I take this opportunity to say thank you for the messages of encouragement from you, the viewers and for your great support. This product is a highly detailed scenery from the Team at MK Studios and it features such a huge amount of detail that the price could quite possibly be something of a steal!
Beautiful texturing and weathering almost every where you look, supported by loads of detail and practically none of it affecting my framerates at all. For a detailed airport in an already detailed and possibly frame grabbing part of the Simulated World, this is a really well done piece of work. I hope you enjoy the video and maybe see if you agree with my conclusions made at the end.
Also, please note that I will be attending the FLIGHTSIM EXPO '24 Event in LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, USA, to be held at the RIO Hotel & Casino in the City. As a visiting Delegate, I will be staying at the hotel for the whole weekend, so check out my website for more details of how to meet me if you want to hang out. Link to the Event is in the description below. Contact via the website is also available.

Glad you're back, Lee; missed your reviews (despite having had this one since release).

[@TheVirtualAirlinePilot]

Thanks Karl. Yes, all good. I never really touched the New York area but after this, I may just give this a go. I fly for an airline that operates in the US and so I'l probably try it. Take care - Lee

The only reason I know anything about the metric system is because of your videos and Dungeons & Dragons. Rare company indeed, sir.

[@TheVirtualAirlinePilot]

LOL! Thank you ! Always here to educate! Let me know if you want to find out how to convert Pounds to Kilos and back!! :-) Lee

Not sure if you have yet (or are going to) review KSGU by Propair Studios.
It's......not great, especially for $20+ USD.
One thing I can't stand is when scenery devs fill their airports to the BRIM with Default Asobo aircraft. Especially when they use the "Aviators Club" variants. Using Asobo aircraft absolutely kills FPS and is entirely unnecessary. AG Sim did the same with KSMO.

[@TheVirtualAirlinePilot]

Hello Kit. I had not planned to review this one. Like you, I initially thought it was expensive for what it was. And I agree, too many Asobo jets do hit the frames! The best developers offer an option to remove statics. But no, not in this case. Take care - Lee

[@CplKitfox]

@TheVirtualAirlinePilot No problem. I still think UK2000SCENERY is **the** best scenery developer.
Strictly due to the fact they have their own library of assets and they have the smallest footprint possible. One of their airports only comes in at a bit over 60mb.

@@CplKitfox I have always been a fan and supporter of Gary’s work. He’s not yet right up there with the best but he’s close and I would still buy his products given the choice. I have purchased many of his sceneries
