My first MSK airport purchase and a nice deal that they included the FSX/FS9 version together this time. The textures are really well done.
The reason I dropped a star is due to the fact the screney is limited to exactly the airport alone and it sort of stands out with the defualt surroundings. A good buy with two for the price of one.
