of v1.0.0 | current version is v1.1.0
This airport covers a vast area which has been covered well by custom buildings throughout. A small amount of static aircraft have been placed throughout, as well as some clutter here and there.
Unfortunately the airport feels very much lifeless with way too little things placed next to the buildings, yet still it manages to drag down FPS quite a bit.
Texturing is OK but feels a bit too sterile in many places, on the ground as well as on buildings. And some buildings should have received a bit more detail, the ATC tower for example features opaque windows only.
What you need to know is that there is an enormous car park situated right at the airport boundary on short final of runway 29. And except for the first few rows it is all kept completely flat and default without any 3D vehicles or clutter whatsoever. This kind of kills the immersion when approaching from the east. It should have been custom textured and modelled, as it's better to have only a small number of vehicles in 3D than seeing thousands of flat ones at a place being overflown low and slow.
