This scenery offers some stunning hangars located on this airfield. They are textured with high quality, crisp textures and high modelling fidelity. However, there's so much more required for a good airport scenery that is unfortunately missing in this scenery:
- On both sides of the runway, right next to the threshold, there are larger areas with flat buildings. They are so close to your landing point that you can't avoid seeing these while on short final. I'm not saying that all these buildings need to be modelled after their real counterparts, autogen buildings are stock assets would be perfectly fine as they're outside of the airfield perimeter. However, landing over and next to flat buildings and objects is just not good enough, especially not at this price point.
There are also plenty of flat objects visible right behind the hangars. Many competitors do a far better job at this and for less money. Spinoza needs to put in a lot more effort if sceneries are to be sold at this price point.
- Default aerial imagery is used as a base for this scenery. So you'll see plenty of areas where flat objects on the airfield have been patched over using generic grass textures which stand out quite clearly.
- White cones are used to model the runway area. However, their LOD visibility is way off, making them invisible when on final. They only pop up on very short final.
- The signal square landing T is not modelled.
The price vs. size of this airfield is on the very upper end of the spectrum. And for that money what you get is just not good enough for a proper airport scenery. While the hangars are fantastic, all that has to do with the ground is either low quality or missing. No Landing T, default windsock, invisible runway markings, flat objects everywhere, generic grass textures... and while the hangars are nice, they are all closed. Other developers tend to open one or two with inside modelling to provide some atmosphere for a small airfield. All missing in this scenery.
For these reasons I cannot recommend buying this airfield.
