Düsseldorf Airport (German: Flughafen Düsseldorf; until March 2013 Düsseldorf International Airport; IATA: DUS, ICAO: EDDL) is the international airport of Düsseldorf, the capital of the German state North Rhine-Westphalia. It is located approximately 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) north of downtown Düsseldorf, and some 20 kilometres (12 mi) south-west of Essen in the Rhine-Ruhr area, Germany's largest metropolitan area. Düsseldorf is the third largest airport in Germany after Frankfurt and Munich handling 23.5 million passengers in 2016. It is a hub for Air Berlin and Eurowings and has Lufthansa's only long-haul route (to Newark) outside of its hubs in Frankfurt and Munich. The airport features three passenger terminals and two runways and is able to handle wide-body aircraft up to the Airbus A380.

One of the worst sceneries provided by JustSim. Standard textures from other airports all over. Taxiway Lines are not correct (not even the right colour), dynamic lighting is not working properly in v5 (the airport is mainly quite dark whereas it is extremly bright illuminated in real-life).
Taxiway Edge Lines which are white (real) and one line are orange and two-lines. Taxiway Lines are are yellow (real) and not orange and don't have a black side-line. Taxiway Lights are displaced in real-life whereas they are straight on the Taxiway Line for JustSim.
Several Taxiway Edge Lights are completly missing or mismatched.
Terminal windows are mainly black whereas they should be greenish windows.
The whole dark concrecte in DUS has a pretty smooth and even surface with a dark grey colour - JustSim has kind of a bright grey gravel colouring which is completly offset to the real one.
The Runway, especially during night, is a nightmare and reminds me of FSX textures or playing minecraft in the early 90s.
Upgrading this airport was a waste of money.
Contrary to the previous review, I run locked at a steady 40 fps at EDDL on P3Dv5HF2 with the PMDG 737, which is nearly as hard on frames as the FSL. It is also silky smooth, so I don't think there is a major optimisation problem or I would be suffering similar low frames.
The differences between this and the older version are not numerous, but this is made clear in the description so I really don't know why you would purchase it and then complain about the absence of something that wasn't listed in the v2 changes!
Anyway, for the minimal update price I am happy to have this airport ported to P3Dv5 with a few additional improvements. It's not a masterpiece, but it is more than acceptable for the price and certainly runs perfectly on my system (which is high end).
Thanks JustSim and please keep them coming!!
The scenery itself is nice but exactly the same as the previous version. They could have created new jetway models cuz it looks very outdated. But the most dissapointing thing is the bad performance of this scenery. They really need to improve that point. My average FPS with Fslabs is around 30-40 FPS but in EDDL it drops down to 10. Thats why only 1 star.
