2 rather nice aiports and a very detailed mesh. However I was expecting more. The landscape (other than the airport) looks like the moon. No scenery or landmarks to speak of, no harbour or port. I was bitterly dissapointed. However if you want to fly the rather cool approach in your 737/DC10 (add other heavy here) then go for it.If you want to explore the islands low and slow then unfortunately there is not much to see.

Well, I was expecting only one airport, my only interest being the thrill of flying airliners on this most dangerous of approaches at Funchal, especially in bad weather and at night. There have been a few goodish (and bad) attempts in the past to reproduce it but, IMHO, this version is just awesome. The real-life realignment and lengthening of the runway has only marginally reduced its "dangerousity". The mesh is excellent.For me the other airport is just a bonus and I'm not really interested in boats or houses. Flying in here you won't have time to even look for them.So, if it's just the airports you want then go get it.P
