FLY 2 HIGH KFAT REVIEW FINDINGS
=====================================
The Good:
----------------
o - Nice ground texture work. Dirty, disgusting, filthy... just the way we like it. Good taxi line texturing.
o - Detailed 3D models.
o - Partially modeled airside with animated peeps.
o - Custom Jetways
o - Good Clutter objects.
o - Hand placed taxi edge lights.
o - Scripted car traffic arriving and departing terminal area.
o - Good night lighting.
The Bad:
-----------------
o - Texturing of buildings is generally good but the main terminal needs a little work. The scale seems slightly off and not as HD as it should be for such an important building.
o - The airside interior texturing is lower resolution then the rest of the airport quality and also the scale seems off on the carpet and the like.
o - Scripted car traffic driving ON TO the airport then teleporting back to their start points. Its distracting to see cars flung across the scenery to their starting point. This needs fixing.
o - Attack of the killer green center lights! This airport does have green center lights but not all the way up to the terminal and to the gate parking spots. These need to be reduced in quantity.
o - Missing buildings. These are minor but still right on the cargo ramp.
Overall a solid redinition of KFAT with some minor flaws that can be corrected over time. It's price point is good.
