What payware airports do you think define the current gold standard for scenery design?

In 2022, I dare say few could deny it was Aerosoft’s Mega-Airport BRU. But it’s now almost mid-2023, and we’re seeing increasingly detailed sceneries that are running smoothly… even on Xbox!

Based on visual detail and relative performance, which airports do you think set the current bar?

I imagine the same few sceneries will crop up again and again but I rarely hear much about Pilot’s Alicante, which I think is one of the very best currently available.

As well as the obvious/inevitable ones, can anyone suggest some lesser-known gems?

I’m really satisfied with Innsbruck from ORBX, simply because the scenery after takeoffs stays beautiful and plenty suitable airports to land with a 737 are nearby.
