**DO NOT BUY IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO MANUAL LABOUR.** The airport has a number of issues that give the impression that it's still very much in the "work in progress" stage. Firstly there are sections of the ground that are semi-transparent so you can see the skybox through whenever there's nothing below to obscure it. Some of the textures are all wrong and there are all sorts of huge invisible bits scattered around the airport that you simply cannot delete. What's even more infuriating is that I believe the ground textures are the only bit of custom work that's been done to the airport and they've been implemented absolutely horrifically. It appears they've completely forgotten to turn off the 'CanCollide' property on a number of the parts which has resulted in a massive collision barrier at the gates which stops the aircraft from even getting onto the gates. It's all very much a case of a scenic asset rather than something you can actually use. You can make it work, but you're going to have to spend a lot of time fixing things that simply shouldn't have been there in the first place. Very disappointing in my opinion, particularly as you're paying for an arrival airport that you'd expect to be useable. [EXTRA NOTE] A friend of mine bought up Nordic's Basel Airport and hit upon the exact same problem: random invisible parts that you can't remove. That makes it look less like a one off and more like a real issue with their products. It's so frustrating when you consider that this is a 'cutting edge' tech company which describes itself as being 'driven by precision, innovation and reliability". They also state that 'At NORDIC we put time and effort into everything we do". Honestly from my experience the quality of the products doesn't bear out those claims at all. I also get the distinct impression that a lot of the content is actually imported rather than being homegrown. [READ] On the other hand the airport itself is actually quite good once the requisite bits and pieces have been sorted. It has real potential and can be a very good addition once it's all been properly sorted. I just don't think customers should be left having to spend their own time fixing things like that after they've bought a product that should be ready to go.
