It's typical JustSim. It works fine and looks decent but it won't wow you. I thought maybe Just sim had stepped up their game. But then I saw the horrendous low quality night terminal textures and was absolutely blown away that they would spend so much time putting in tons of detail into the scenery and then at night they were like we will just throw in a low res texture that looks absolutely terrible. I just don't get JustSim. Take another week draw the textures if you have to.
I will give this a 5 star and because of sheer lack of interior modelling but, because it works functionally with lot of attention to detail for the exterior. For people reading my review I will say this just go an grab this add on as it is a great location and "Justsim" have done there homework on this location. Suggestion is to go just vanilla without any mods apart from AIG AI to make this site look great!
As always, great job on this one. Details are everywhere and frames are good as long as you don't use that 3D Helsinki City freeware with it. Then you'll get 3 FPS ! Use the free landmarks for Helsinki & it's a great place to land at. These guys have been doing this forever & you can't go wrong with JustSim.
Absolut sein Geld wert! Der Flughafen ist sehr detailliert und auf dem neuesten Stand. Sieht sehr gut aus und ist absolut rahmenfreundlich.
!!!VOLLE KAUFEMPFEHLUNG!!!
I just tried landing in snow in this scenery EFHK - I have a Geforce 3090, and the framerate was so low that it was impossible to land - I have to lower the settings to use this scenery.
It's very nice in sun, but Helsinki should be able to run HIGH+ on a Geforce 3090 graphics card.
