Detail is excellent.
Unfortunately on my first trip into EDDP IFR I was put on vectors for 'an ILS approach' circling for the runway (26L) specified in the initial approach clearance, not a specific ILS approach to a specific runway. The AED/AFCAD includes the ILS frequencies for all 08/26 approaches so I'm not sure why inbounds are not vectored for a specific ILS. This is a big issue and the first time I have seen this with any add-on scenery of which I have several. Additionally the AED/AFCAD shows an ILS approach to a runway '10/28'. There is no runway 10/28 at EDDP. Too bad as, like I said, the scenery is extremely well done.
At the end for me a difference of only €7 doesn't justify a so great different (always for my personal opinion/taste) of quality textures and details from a scenery like this one and a top quality like Flightbeam or Flytampa.
Anyway this is a good EDDP scenery (the alternative is the default one for me) even if far from Flightbeam, Flytampa or FSDT quality (in my humble opinion).
High quality textures, very detailed, low fps
Con's:
Jetway's are not moving. No AES support. There is car traffic on the Bridge where you cross the highway.
Mispelled "Leipzig-Hale" is every where to see.
It should be spelt "Leipzig- Halle."
Hope the dev's fix this soon.
you must buy this or you will miss out.
All this with very good frame rates and VAS usage.
However I can only give three stars as there's simply NO excuse to not include the visual docking guidance systems on those stands who have them! I sincerely hope that these will be added in the near future, perhaps by collaborating with SODE who's about to provide these at some point in the future.
Once the visual docking guidance systems are in place, I'll gladly give five stars!
A great performance from Digital Design.
In contrast to the GA2 EDDP of AS is the simply only the hammer.
Two small things I noticed first, would be super if this vlt. Still be fixed.
1. The aircraft docking systems are still missing
2. GSX does not fit properly. The pushback and luggage cart is on the road in front of the gate and the standard ground vehicles roll through the GSX vehicles. The GSX side would still have to be positioned differently. The ground vehicles also roll through their own aircraft, but this is so in almost all sceneries.
Conclusion! EDDP from DD - Simply top!
The lights fit, the PAPI is top, it is really fun to fly our home airport!
Thanks to Digital Design!

It blends effortless with ORBX Global and FTX Germany North. The surroundings have lots of detail like railways, roads, and even static aircraft. It uses SODE plugin and the jetways work with all the other bells and whistles that come with it.
Absolutely worth every euro to have this airport in your library.
Well done Digital Design!
