MSFS | Is this the Best Flight Sim Scenery Ever Made?! Renton Municipal Airport by Drzewiecki Design
ฝัง

- Renton Municipal Airport in Washington, USA is also home to the Renton Boeing Facility - the factories building the Boeing 737MAX jet's and the P-8 Poseidon but also the same factories that created the wonderful Boeing 757 aircraft and many others.
It has now been recreated in dizzying levels of detail inside Microsoft Flight Simulator, by one of the very best scenery developers - Drzewiecki Design... and it even has a little treat from @pmdgsimulationsofficial51 inside too!
In this video, we'll explore what this unique scenery has to offer, as I share my thoughts and opinion throughout. We'll explore the airport in day and night times, and visit the numerous features on offer here at this new payware airport scenery for MSFS... and throughout, I'll try to answer the question of "Could this be the best Flight Simulator scenery ever created?" - what do you think?
You can purchase the scenery for yourself available now via @OrbxOfficial for @MicrosoftFlightSimulator right here: orbxdirect.com...

For those that are confused...
Renton is the production facility for 737s. They depart from there on their B1 flights (Boeing flight #1). They arrive at Boeing Field, where subsequent B flights are executed (if needed). From there, they go thru the customer events, including C1 (customer flight #1), and eventually delivery. No deliveries take place at Renton.
Everett (Paine Field) is the production and delivery center for twin aisle airplanes, 747/767/777 and the last remaining EVT produced 787s. This includes B1s and C1s. Same story for Boeing South Carolina... production and delivery center for 787s produced there.
Awesome! We were discussing this on discord yesterday and came up with a possible theory that Boeing Fielday perhaps be next? 👀
Thanks for providing this info.
At this point if it's coming from FlyTampa or Drzewiecki Design you can be sure that it's elite quality. I've been holding off on the Chicago Midway scenery waiting for the 737 to release. Can't wait to fly some Southwest ops finally. MSFS is about to start leaving the competition in the rearview mirror.
The midway is a very nice scenery too! This is just remarkable + so much to explore too!
@9:24. This is the parallax technique we've all been hearing about; used to create the illusion of 3D interiors from outside a building using flat textures or to even just give subtle depth to a surface, such as grout lines between bricks, which catch the light and cast shadows differently as a light source shining on it moves. It is highly likely you've seen this in other third party airports already but may not have realized it. An example of doing this for room interiors is Parallax OSL (Open Shading Language) that uses just a single polygon to show an entire room. Thanks for the video! Drzewiecki Design keeps pushing the limits! I am slowly acquiring all their stuff.
Amazing, I had no idea - I'll be looking out for it a lot more now!
@@BritishAvgeek Yes, I was astonished when I found out about it just a few months ago. MSFS 2020 frame rates on my GTX 970 are the same at for my 32-bit FSX engine despite the fact that the former looks way better. I think its graphical techniques like these (amongst other things to be sure) that allow for MSFS to look so good and yet still have playable FPS. Love your videos BTW; especially when you say "look at that!" with sincere amazement. 👍
We have been using this method since MSFS came out, check this video from FSDT O'Hare, released in September 2020:

@@umbertocolapicchioni2467 Hi. I think this maybe the video I watched when I subscribed to you but it may have been one of the PBR videos when I was trying to learn about some of the latest 3D computer graphics techniques wizards such as yourself and your compatriots use. FSDreamTeam is another studio whose products I am slowly acquiring due to my past experiences with the quality of your work and reputation. Best of luck on all your future projects!
@@umbertocolapicchioni2467 Its a very clever technique.
Brilliant gold medal standard scenery. I own it and when PMDG release the 737 will be flying from Renton to Toronto, then some hops back to UK finishing up at Doncaster. Route still to be worked out.
Sounds like a glorious adventure in the 737!
I started my flight training out of KRNT. This is awesome and very accurate all the way down to the facility I trained out of from what I saw in your video. I'm definitely picking this up. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing to hear personal feedback for the scenery - a true marker for how good the scenery is when you know exactly what it should look like. Great to hear, enjoy!
My favorite part is that the flight school I’m learning to fly at is modeled! Visible at 3:02 in the video. I had a look around and the entrance looks almost like the real thing and it has the real signage … just awesome haha
This is truly stunning, the new gold standard for sure. Like you said, it really makes you wonder how far creators can go with MSFS and then beyond - imagine in 10 years time what it'll be like! Looking forward to the PMDG 737, and as for routes - I'd be keen on a Renton-Vancouver-Toronto-Ottawa-Birmingham
That's a cool route!
Agreed, this scenery is an absolute masterpiece! I bought it on release day after following the development on Facebook, and I have already spent lots of time hovering around in helicopters, taking a look at all the details.
...and have you found everything yet? 😁 Someone here mentioned about a spinning aircraft model inside the ATC tower which I haven't found yet!
Love this scenery, check out the tower they have the audio from ATC and 2 spinning models on the desk....My first flight is from Renton to Las Vegas...
Oh amazing! That's one for the next exploration then! It's such a wonderful scenery
The Scenery is amazing! I am so excited for the 737-700! :)
It's coming very soon by the sounds of it - mega hype for it!
@@BritishAvgeek Me too!
This is a brilliant collaboration between Drzewiecki and PMDG. Shows off what can be done with scenery in MSFS by Drzewiecki and a beautiful launch/delivery platform for the PMDG 737. Drzewiecki already had me curious with what they were up to with their Midway scenery and this shows where they were going.
This must really make Jorg happy to see what is capable with the simulator.
When the 737 drops I'll be doing a Southwest delivery flight from Renton to Midway.
It's a remarkable platform for scenery and aircraft - and both this scenery and the upcoming PMDG 737 look to showcase exactly what can be achieved. It's a really promising start to the year for MSFS isn't it!
The Best ever seen!
I think I agree with you! I spent about 20mins just sat watching the "life" inside the factory whilst recording this video, it's remarkable
I'm a bit of a beginner/noob in the flight simming community and msfs2020 is my first flight sim and to be honest I'm still in awe in regards to flying around in vr in an aircraft of your choice ( ..still learning the PMDG D6 😀) wherever you wish in the whole world .
Every week new add-ons are being released for the sim ,thanks to wonderful enthusiastic 3rd party developers and modders .
Certainly not all mods are " excellent " or worth it but i would say 90% are creating fantastic add-ons thanks to their skill and dedication to the "hobby" .
This particular add-on is awesome! .stunning detail and animations ,running out of superlatives ..lol
I must also add that you managed to include an awful lot of information in a short video (and still lots to explore and discover ourselves!) ..
Thanks for the video 👍😀
Ps.sorry for writing a book and not a "comment" 😂
Thanks! Always tough adding so much in without creating a 30minute long video 😅 there's so much to explore and I look forward to seeing the animated trains, tower controllers and all the rest of the features not shown in this video! 🙂 It's remarkable
this is a work of love
Sure is! It must have taken months to create this airport and another few months to achieve this standard of finish!
Imagine what you can do with this scenery in future, perhaps the pmdg being removed once it is released, changing different liveries according to current deliveries, or even go back in time to the glory days of the 727, 707 and so forth. Amazing stuff
Would be nice to see a Boeing field or perhaps the 787 facility in the East US
Blown away it’s beautiful mesmerising.
Sure is! Must have taken months and months to master this - didn't think I'd see something like this inside any simulator but it properly brings it all to life
Colossal work and a brilliant promotion for PMDG. Well done!
It's fantastic isn't it, great to have the Nod to PMDG there too as a way to really excite the community for the upcoming release.
@@BritishAvgeek Sorry to ask, but my English isn't as good as my French, so I looked on the Acronym Finder site for the definition of "Nod" and you're probably not talking about "Non-Obese Diabetic" or "Notice of Default" ;-) What is the meaning? Thank you!
@@06L ah sorry 🤣 I meant nod as in "a token of appreciation" 🙂
@@BritishAvgeek Ah! Thanks! A day without learning something (or without jokes) is a wasted day!
Loved this! My route will be KRNT - MWCR. A true delivery route when we received our x4 737MAX8
exciting! glad you enjoyed the video!!
It's superb. Initially I had problems with missing planes but once fixed...wow. Really good.
Glad to hear you're enjoying it! Already had a few hints to check the spinning model in the control tower etc! It's amazing 🙂
Just Amazing
There's a LOT more to explore and find too! From trains, to animations inside the control tower etc 🙂 hope you enjoyed the video!
I will travel to Renton soon to pick up a new 737 for my airline Jet-in Airways as soon as its released, thanks for this lovely introdiction to the plant, love your channel. William.
thanks William! enjoy!
Just purchased this incredible scenery and feel it's probably the best value product offered at the moment.
Thanks so much for the detailed walk around.
You're most welcome! It's a work of art isn't it 🙂
Awesome... Need a tutorial on making the factory tour..... How to... Best ever!!
I just can't grasp how many hours this must have taken the developer to create this one airport!
Its really good, I love it. Personally I really like the trend of detailing interiors of buildings that some developers are including in their designs now, it all adds to the realism and gives me more to explore when I arrive at an airport. Fly to KRNT and take a look around the Boeing factory, what's not too like?
Awesome, buying this for sure!
Enjoy! Looking forward to some PMDG 737 routes from here
It really is superb! Great review :)
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it Brandon! 🙂
I dont know if ill buy the PMDG 737 but ill definitely be flying from KRNT to KGSO to celebrate!
Nice, enjoy the scenery!
Nice one. Pity the vid isnt in 4k? PMDG should have provided this add on as an Easter Egg for forking out the dosh!
If it was in 4K it would have a significant drop in frames for me and would take hours to process, render and upload - I don't do 4K. Not sure why PMDG should provide a scenery for free as an Easter Egg when it's quite an expensive scenery anyway so would cost them a lot?
Wasn't gonna buy any more add-ons till PMDG releases......then again a new bar has been set, oh well back to orbx central.
The bar raised once again! What a great start to the year for MSFS! So much happening over the next two months
Im fairly late but i just collected my refurbished BBJ2 and took off to CYVR to fuel up for my wirld tour starting with Japan lol amazing scenery and runs smooth, even with FSLTL at Seattle Intl
Epic journey ahead for you then!
I just purchased it on Xbox series X it’s fantastic! It’s the best! Hopefully they will do KPAE next. Maybe Airbus too! It’s incredible!
I've had this for a couple of months, and it crashes every time on my series x. Does yours run smoothly? I had to uninstall it. I just think the graphics are too much for the series x.
Im always so confused between all the boeing fields (Paine, Renton, King County) but this is nonetheless fantastic!
Same 😅
Paine Field is for the 747 production Renton is 737 production King County airport is fix the mistakes & maintenance. Lol
@@richardtrask7055 paine feild is also where they make 787s
@@NathantheGreat428 And the 767/777
Probably KRNT to BIKF to EHAM. Beautiful flight bringing the 737 home.
Wow, a great route and a long adventure too!
@@BritishAvgeek (will skipp a few areas but don't tell any1)
Excellent review! I bought it and have explored it mostly in VR in an ultralight but I need to revisit because I missed some of the cool bits you showed. I was really impressed by the sound design, especially when you're inside the cavernous production buildings. And by everything really. I often buy city scenery but usually not airports unless there's something special, which this definitely has to the (737) MAX. Educational and fun. Definitely hits the FPS but it's worth it.
Amazing! How was it in VR moving about in drone cam? Like you say City Scapes with immense detail are amazing usually but we rarely see this level of detail in an airport scenery and it's amazing
@@BritishAvgeek It's quite good in VR, really gives you the impression of being in this huge space with lots of activity and sounds. Some years ago I toured the A380 factory in Toulouse. The public tour restricted you to just a few observation areas and no pictures. It was still amazing, but with this scenery I feel like I've had a more complete tour of Boeing Renton than I did of the real Airbus factory! The only downside is that I my PC/GPU won't handle the highest settings in VR. But it's still worth it. I often record my VR flights with Sky Dolly and replay them to get higher quality screenshots. I will revisit Renton and do that. I was able to fly the Top Rudder 103 inside the assembly building which was fun.
@@bruceirving7080 I need to try skydolly
Happy Tuesday British Avgeek
That pmdg 737 was a 737 max, so does that mean that they are working on a max variant?
They are indeed!! 😁
@@BritishAvgeek that amazing!
@@holsterr8372 sure is! It's a little further down the line though, they're wanting to release the B737-700 and 738 first from what I understand 🙂
I think this video covered about 3/10 of what is going on in this scenery. Animated trains being loaded with fuselage by cranes. 737 max being assembled and towed out of assembly hanger to the paint shop hanger etc. Its a lot going on in this scenery, I have never seen anything like it probably more of an overkill (probably on FPS) LOL.
Indeed - lots and lots to explore, I found it remarkably good and I haven't seen anything like it either - it demonstrates how fantastic MSFS can be
I live pretty close to this. Unfortunately I can’t run this scenery on Xbox. It CTD’s most of the time when I hit fly. It probably runs great on PC.
I needed your guidance. I am really struggling with my FPS even though I have a decent spec machine, and especially during approaches I go as low as 8-9 FPS.
I have 32GB ram
I9-9000k processor
Msi 10 GB RTX 3080
Would you be able to guide what is wrong or share your Nvdia and in sim settings. As such low FPS is really frustrating infact I have not flown for a week now 😞
Also does google maps replacement mod for the default bing maps affect this?
it sounds like there is something quite wrong with your setup somewhere
Been really reluctant to buy anything from Drzewiecki Design after getting stung on the chicargo landmarks which was a disaster. Does look good thought to be honest.
What was your experience of Chicago Landmarks? I've found their scenery consistently incredible 🙂
@@BritishAvgeek I actually posted a clip about it, very bad FPS and night lighting was like something from FSX. What was worse is Drzewieki posted smart ass comment on the video saying was i running xplane in the background as well as MSFS. Had they been honest and said oh we'll look into that we don't want to release this quality I'd have had so much more respect as so many had spent money on something that can't be used, hence i'm reluctant to purchase again from them. th-cam.com/video/t_b-ve4T7wU/w-d-xo.html
@@DeepFutureSim what's your spec?
@@BritishAvgeek rtx 3080 , 5900x 64gb ram. Sorry really not on to moan , just my experience. As i said it renton really does look good.
@@DeepFutureSim amazing spec!
Will you be able to custom build your own aircraft down the track? So f’ing detailed
Now there's an idea! 🤣 Perhaps drop an Osprey Airways livery in the paint shop somewhere
It would be really cool if they added the actual PMDG 737 model instead of a MAX 7 with a PMDG livery.
Well, they are going to be building the MAX as an add-on aircraft in the near future beyond the B738 etc! 🙂
Any idea on the definition of soon? 😜
Hopefully really soon!
What’s the fps performance like? Other reviews seem to suggest it can halve fps!?
I didn't notice any issues at all - I was able to pan around, zoom about and fiddle with settings throughout without any stuttering on my system - a 2070 super with a Ryzen 5 3600X and 32gb ram
i live 20 minutes from this airfield
Amazing! How does it look to you then, knowing it so well?
@@BritishAvgeek fantastic, itll be even better when im on ILS to KSEA 16L and fly over it
Is it available for Xbox series X?
If it goes onto the MSFS Marketplace then it might be yes but currently I don't think it is
I am waiting for this to. Can't see it on marketplace yet
Yes from 5/522
i know i’m in the minority here but i feel incredibly uneasy with anything to do with the max. looks like fantastic scenery though.
A lot likely share your thoughts too - it's a bad aircraft on the part of Boeing for obvious tragic reasons, but as you say - the scenery is wonderful and it is the perfect Delivery Centre for the upcoming PMDG 737-700 due to be released soon 🙂
“Is this the best scenery ever made?”
Until someone makes KCHS, sure.
will it be to the same quality or level of detail though?
@@BritishAvgeek don’t see why not, it is a beautiful airport and Boeing makes 787s there. They are building a new concourse and a fuel depot there in a couple years to!
@@Briggie let's hope Drzewiecki Design do that too then!
The eye candy is nice, but will the devs ever fix the horrid performance in the sim so it is enjoyable?
horrid performance? On my system it works better than P3d And I have a medium system I75800, 32Gb ram and a 3060Ti. But it even worked with my GTX 970 some time ago.
Agreed, no 60-80 fps, but a decent 30 with everything on high( and that's enough for me)
@@ericvandorp Well my GPU & FPS drops to 0 & goes back up to 40-50 fps every 10 or so seconds but only since this latest update & I have no problems with anything else
odd, I cap my FPS at 35 to prevent spikes and dips so it's quite stable but I've found this scenery exceptionally good for performance on my system - Ryzen 5 3600X and 2070Super with 32Gb RAM
@@BritishAvgeek I have mine at 60 but that's because the fps will go 40-50 but I will try it at 30 again & see if that is the problem
@@wrongwayfeldman5393 set it to 35 in Nvidia control centre - that's how I've had it for about a year now - don't need max FPS and 35 is more than suitable
I agree looking at this scenery it looks great, regarding the detailing, personality the graphic designers have gone a little overboard in showing the inside of terminals and the 73Max assembly line. We use, practice and enjoy flight sim software and if this gives us a more realistic feel then even better, not just scenery, weather, clouds, lighting, but also aircraft flight models being accurate. Why would we want to walk, or drone fly inside buildings? As a private pilot and sim builder, these finer details are a waste of effort. Saying that I would possibly buy it.
I agree it's not something you'd explore over and over again multiple times, but it shows how incredible Microsoft Flight Simulator can be/is in the right hands
For you these finer details may be wasted but I personally enjoy flying to a virtual location, parking my plane then looking around the area and exploring what is there. That may include terminal interiors if they are well represented, control towers certainly, hangers around airfield and in this case the factory interiors at Boeing too.
