A very pleasant surprise! I had long waited for a developer to start making decent airports in Central Asia, and voila - it happened!
The airport is well represented, with a good level of detail. Even terminal interiors were done, to a degree that matters from a cockpit point of view. The terminal building don‘t have super high detail or resolution, but that keeps frame rates at a very good level.
I liked the fact that even the military parts of the airport are covered, with some helicopter and transport airplanes to make it all look interesting and life-like.
Towards the city of Almaty I found many highway bridges that looked like they were re-done. A nice touch, because some of that can be seen during approach to RW 05L & 05R. The icing on the cake would be the Almaty TV tower, which is a true landmark building. Maybe with the next update…
I recommend this airport to everyone who wants to discover new and interesting places. Almaty with it‘s epic backdrop of snow-covered mountains is certainly one of these places, and now you will arrive at a well-done airport!
