Served by numerous airlines as well as freighters, KIX is a largest and busiest international airport in Kansai area, deserved to be called as a Gateway in Asia.

Very well done except for one important thing....the ILS for 24R is way off to the left. The approach pretty much lines up on the taxiway next to it. Not sure about any of the other approaches but that would be one lousy way to break out of the clouds.
Runway is a little too bumpy for a 0.0 gradient. Texture resolution is way too low so you cannot even see the ICAO type markings at the gates. It's flyable but definitely doesn't match the 20-ish dollar price tag.
I must give this one five stars even though it has some flaws and missing things. It is just so well made in other parts and very well optimized. They even went so far and model the bridge connecting mainland with reclaimed island on which airport lies and some other parts like observation deck and dock.
First the runways and taxi ways are very bumpy and uneven in some parts, especially the connection taxi ways between two islands J4 and J3, taxi way Y that runs along side RW 24R/06L and runway 24R/06L itself, hope this gets addressed as soon as possible because this is the main thing that makes this airport short of being perfect.
Second, the banks/shore of the islands itself needs some work, now it looks like the water will pour over any moment. Maybe it needs some more visible tetra concrete blocks, also port/docking hub up north is missing.
Third is that even though railway is modeled on the bridge itself it is then missing on the airport terminal along side with missing JR/Nankai station. It would be nice to have this in as well.
If those three things gets fixed/added this would be perfect version of KIX.
