This version of GMMX beats the scenery made by another developer. The buildings are nicely modelled, the ground textures are decent and the parking layout is accurate (no more wanky AI taxiing or GSX issues).
Not A bad airport, just wanted the rating to be fairer.
The airport model is nice, and its a beautiful airport. You have the two jetways per gate, walking areas under the terminal, etc. The model around the commercial area is decently detailed as well. It could really do with better ground textures, even though the ones arent bad, they could definitely better the product because the area is so dull in color more textures and taxi textures would make it more enjoyable. If its on sale I think its worth it and you don't have to buy the more expensive one
Great airport which I owned previously when using P3D. This MSFS version looks and runs very well, and it's an interesting new location to fly to/from. Very pleased to see this scenery ported over and I hope the this developer, or others, brings new locations to this part of the world.
