Austin–Bergstrom International Airport, or ABIA (IATA: AUS, ICAO: KAUS, FAA LID: AUS, formerly BSM), is a Class C international airport in Austin, Texas, United States, serving the Greater Austin metropolitan area. Located about 5 miles (8 km) southeast of downtown Austin, it covers 4,242 acres (1,717 ha) and has two runways and three helipads. It is on the site of what was Bergstrom Air Force Base. The airport and U.S. Air Force base were named after Captain John August Earl Bergstrom, an officer who served with the 19th Bombardment Group. The airport replaced Robert Mueller Municipal Airport as Austin's main airport. The airport is the third busiest in Texas, after Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and George Bush Intercontinental Airport (Houston). As of 2018, there are 510 arrivals and departures on the typical weekday to 76 destinations in North America and Europe

I'll begin by saying that this isn't a bad scenery; however it's in a rather exclusive club price-wise for an airport of this size. Had it not been for the excellent performance (even with tons of FSLTL traffic), I'd have been inclined to give it only 3 stars.
The terminal building is very well done and features some great detail, including convincing weathering. However move only a few yards away and things start to go quickly downhill. There is a modelled terminal landside but it features no cars or people. Same with the vast car-park opposite, yet a much smaller car-park further out is full of vehicles. We do at least get a custom-modelled roadway leading to/from the terminal, complete with elevated sections and signage. But apart from this, there's way too much default photo scenery left in. Thankfully we are treated to a few decent buildings in the terminal's vicinity, such as the Hyatt and Hilton hotels, plus the gas station and its neighbouring 'Whataburger' restaurant.
Moving across the airfield's airside, the Signature and South Terminal buildings are the only ones to have received any real attention. Everything else looks like default assets, placed where one should reasonably expect custom models. Remember, this is a $25/£19 scenery. The apron, taxiway and runways textures are pretty decent, without being outstanding. There are parts that are clearly mismatched, though.
I think Dominicdesignteam are getting better with each release, however I expected a little more for my money. The terminal and its interior are largely flawless (though the airbridge hoods connect to the aircraft clumsily) but the rest of it looks rushed/unfinished. The lush green grass of the airfield doesn't blend at all well with the more arid Asobo landscape surrounding it, and I think the official viewing area adjacent to the RWY18L threshold would have been a nice addition. There's very little to boost immersion during your approaches, save for a few tent-like structures that presumably shield parked vehicles from the Texan sun.
If it's on sale, it's probably just about worth the money. But there are far bigger, much better airports in this price bracket. The most disappointing thing is some of the sloppy work could so easily be fixed by a simple update.
Awesome scenery. Except the parking assignments. I just don't understand why developers are not assigning correct airline gates. You can clearly see in the screen shots that airplanes are not parking where they are supposed to and I know it is possible to make them do so. The fact that they can't be bothered to assign correct gates hurts immersion.
Dominicdesignteam can be a hit or miss, this is by far the best scenery they have done so far, hopefully this will set a new standard for them, nive interior modeling and AI, this is one of my top 5 airports for MSFS
Finally, an accurate representation of Austin-Bergstrom! I fly out of this airport in real life & in the sim, and was super bummed out by the default scenery and especially the outdated and hideously rendered stock terminal. First impressions are that this custom scenery is very accurate, you can see inside the glass of the terminal and the layout inside the terminal is quite realistic as well. A most welcome addition.
Outstanding! DominicDesignTeams best work yet. There is a gate/jetway numbering mismatch at gate 32 (jetway shows 23), but I am sure that will be corrected quickly. Great work!
A stunning rendition of KAUS, the amount of detail is amazing. Performance is great too! Dominic Design Team is up there with FlightBeam and ini Scene. Highly recommend.
This is a beautiful rendition of my hometown (where I was born) airport. Thank you so much. Performance is good, beautiful scenery. You might consider a tiny adjustment to night lighting as it's pretty brightly lit up but a small thing if it's wrong at all (could be me). Otherwise, absolutely perfect!
