When it comes to modelling and texturing of buildings, this airport is done very nicely. Good amount of detail, good performance, nicely integrated in its surroundings.
There's one issue though that kind of ruins the experience for me, and that is ground markings. Some of them are done well and crisp, however, there are also a lot of lines laid down as low resolution textures with bright jagged lines at their edge. It's particularly bad with the red stripe markings beneath the jetways. Those are of a very bad resolution but are unfortunately those that you see the closest and the longest while being parked at the gate.
I don't know why some markings are done well while others are bad, but it's certainly something that should be improved considerably for the latter.
Another small issue that could have been avoided very easily with a bit of care and quality control: The majority of jetways do not connect properly to the terminal buildings. Many are barely touching the wall, and I have even found one that has no connection to the terminal at all. Easily avoidable and it's a pity that this made it into the final release.
There's a lot of good effort here, I would just wish that we'd have crisp ground markings everywhere and some more quality control. Something that is just necessary on a price level this high.
