Suroboyo have managed to deliver a lovely recreation of this airport. What is really nice to see is that all parking areas are represented in crips detail, not just the main civil apron. You'll find crisp textures and detailed models also on cargo and military sites.
The airport is nicely integrated into its surroundings, and the textures colours are very life-like.
Military static aircraft are very welcome to populate those MIL aprons and shelters, but one can't disable them. Not a big issue since most online flying is done on the civilian side anyway.
If I can mention one negative item, it's the one about this area next to the civil apron featuring bushes on the aerial imagery, but no autogen vegetation bushes haven been placed. It would make taxiing to and from the apron a lot more interesting if you could navigate in between those bushes on all sides of the taxiways.
Other than that the scenery is highly recommended for flying in more remote areas of the world, and in this case flying around some stunning volcanoes!
