Aerosoft did a good job with this airport, it's flyable & the quality is here. Overall, the texturing is great, same goes for tge modelling.

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.

The airport overall is flyable and not that performance-heavy for an airport of this size. But there are some obvious issues that need to be fixed. PAPI on 07L doesn't really match the glideslope and displays 3-4 white lights on final app. Most of the jetways on heavy A gates are really broken and can't dock properly to the aircraft door. Ground texture is mostly okay but occasionally inconsistent. I would say it is way better than the other two freeware EDDFs but please also keep in mind this is way below usual Jo Erlend's quality (probably his worst work to date in MSFS).
