Review:_German Airports by Aerosoft, 1st edition
This is my first review ever and maybe some of you will miss parts about Framerates etc., but I didn't want to write about stuff I'm not really accustomed with. The German Airport 1st Edition 2001 pack comes along with 2 CDs (one for FS98/2000 and one update disk for FS2002) and 2 thick paper manuals. The first one is about installation and consists General Information about the included airports. In the second manual you find Jeppesen Charts for all airports, with Terminal Charts, approach plates, SIDs and Stars.

Aerosoft promotes German Airports 1 as a package that offers "8 highly detailed south German airports". And what can I say? That's ture! Every airport (Dresden, Augsburg, Stuttgart, Friedrichshafen, Nurnberg, Egelsbach, Bayreuth and Munich along with two "Bonus Aiports" which are Innsbruck (AT) and Altenrhein (CH)) offers great details like excact Terminals, Gangways, service vehicles, holding markers, taxiway signs etc. Every airport also offers static airplanes with changing liveries and moving ground service vehicles. Aersoft says in the Manual that there are no dynamic airplanes included, so the Framerates will be acceptable.


Munich Airport

Munich Airport

The most detailed airport of all is Munich. What I like most is the "Savegate" Docking Bridge System Aerosoft added. The Bridge recognizes the airplane by the set COM frequency and places the bridge at the right point on your aircraft. But besides that the programmers also added the EL AL 767 standing at the security terminal, surrounded by police cars or the motorway leading torwards the Terminal, or the Cargo ramps among other areas.

Well, what can I say about it now? Again, Aerosoft made an simply great add-on. The 2001 Edition of German Airports is even better than the old one, though that is hard to believe. For ca. 45 € you get a very, very detailed scenery add-on that offers easy installation, great realism and astomishing night light effects. I doubt anyone will ever regret buying this product from Aerosoft.
