Overall the airport is ok. But nothing more. The terrain is very unrealistic and not at all refleting the real life counterpart. The buildings look ok in the daytime, but at night they are glowing weirdly, which makes them look like a huge toy. Since Sim Update 6 the jetways are broken. Also the developer promised further updates, but never delivered them. The ILS 06 is working fine. ILS 24 on the other hand is misaligned.
Unless the developer fixes these things, I do not recommend buying this scenery.

I really wanted to have dortmund in msfs because I often flew into holidayfrom there in real life so for me this was a must have. i have to say its not perfect but its ok for the money, there could be some better ground and building textures and night lighting, the taxiways are a little bit bumpy, this could also be a problem only with my system (full community folder). For those who have problems with the ils: if you use navigraph, remove and reinstall the airac cycle in the navdata center (updater). I had the same problem with other airports and this fixed it for me.

The ILS is wrong, you don't come straight towards the runway, but outside the runway. The vanilla airport of the MSFS works flawlessly at this point.

in all its a cool Airport, i bought it because its my Home Airport, but there are a lot of things that have to be improved, first under the tower the ground is going up which is not realistic, then the streets that are going to the airport before the tower there are no fences that have to be added, and also the Logistic Centre at P3. then you have to add the patrol station for the planes near P3.
And last the Car Park P5 and P4 are missing at the old terminal.
if these things are improved i would be realy happy and might rite a new review.
