However, if you consider that FRA/EDDF has been one (if not) the most wanted airport for MSFS, it didn't have the attention it deserved. Some of the most important areas of the airport hasn't been done to the highest level (C gates lack interior, or at least Jo's fantastic parallax, almost no detail on the ground - ie the ones that make the airport come to life). I understand that EDDF is a pretty big airport, but my overall feel is that the airport has been a bit rushed and one or two more months would've been great to add these kinds of details & polishing touches that would've made this release a top-notch one.
For this price tag, I was expecting a bit more, especially considering all the Youtube teasing & Marketing that has been done, and Jo Erlend definitely save this airport from being a complete miss.
