I bought it last night. It’s really nice but, in my opinion, does suffer a lack of variety in the buildings away from the airport. The town of Fira (the most famous one, on the cliffs of the caldera) looks nice from a distance but when relatively close, it looks a little generic (despite the buildings being custom Greek style), with only two or three truly distinctive structures. Some of them are floating in the air, too.There are a handful of the famous blue roofs present but there should be more. It would also have been nice to see a few modelled cafes, restaurants and windmills, many of which dot this area.

The airport, however, is beautiful, with plenty of detail, both inside and outside the perimeter fence. Night lighting is fab, too.

My only other complaint is the custom ground imagery, which is lower res than I’d have liked. But it is at least there, and looks better than the default. To be fair, their marketing description does state 3m per pixel, which isn’t the most detailed.

Definitely easy to recommend but it could have been an outstanding scenery rather than just a very good one.

I agree with you my only addition is there is a parked aircraft at the gate floating 50ft above the tarmac, kinda spoils the immersion… cant seem to see any donkeys either… :wink:

Not seen that and I always have FSLTL running.

I run fstl too it was gate 7 i think saw it on first use not seen since… must have been a VTOL Boing

Muddy textures, buildings floating in the air. Not even properly ported from the old version, but deduct €22. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Two points I did mention above.
