Considering we already had a great version of this airport for free, I was hesitating whetever I should go for it or no. But I didn't regret my choice to pick it up !
What makes the difference :
- Ground textures, which are really, really good, with cracking, weathering etc. The runway in particular is amazing. It really feels like the runway have been used !
- The interior because in EGFF, windows are just in front of the cockpit !
- Surroundings. SoFly did a great job capturing the essence & details of the airport & his surroundings !
Only downside is that I would've hoped for a more detailled BA Hangar, considering they animated the doors!
Go for it !
