I would have loved to give this add-on a five star rating. Beautiful terminal modelling, nicely embedded into the ORBX FTX Germany surroundings, good performance, including all SODE stuff like windsocks, jetways and VDGS, and even beautiful ground textures with a clear Digital Design signature.
However, two noticeable errors are present, and would not be that bad IF they had been corrected with the update:
- 2 stands have VDGS modelled, which clearly block the doors of both hangar bays. However the charts clearly document that those stands do not have VDGS on the real airport, for the exact reason as to not block the hangars.
- Touch down zone lighting is present on one runway end, but has been forgotten for the other runway end.
3 stars only, for the fact that I had alerted Justsim to those two very visible errors before the update was brought out. However my message was ignored.
One more issue that is a bit less noticeable but still needs to be mentioned: The modelling and texturing of the Military Apron and and its buildings is a bit crude and lifeless unfortunately. Much less care has been given to recreate that part of the airport compared to the northern side.
Tolle Scenery. Digital Design hat hier einen guten Job gemacht. Die Scenery ist nett anzusehen und definitiv performant. Einziger Wehmutstropfen: die SODE Jetways benehmen sich komisch und lassen sich nicht docken. JustSim scheint hier aber nicht auf entsprechende Nutzermeldungen zu reagieren; zumindest nicht in deren Social-Media-Kanälen. Wäre das behoben, gäbe es 5 Sterne.
Um Welten besser als die ältere Professional-Version der Konkurrenz. Alles wirkt zeitgemäßer und eines Prepar3D V4 angemessen. Natürlich kann man Justsim nicht unbedingt mit den Top-Entwicklern gleichstellen, aber Stuttgart ist einer der besten, wenn nicht der beste Airport der Firma. Ich kann daher den Kauf wirklich empfehlen.
A classical JustSim airport. Nothing special but not too bad either.
If you own any airport of this developer you know what to expect. Nothing more and nothing less.
The groundpoly by Digital Design is probably the best to mention here, it's quite a step up from earlier selfmade groundpolys by JustSim. However nothing 'new' compared to the last couple of JS airports.
