September 22, 201411 yr It's a great product and just so happens to be my firs DD purchase.Lot's of Russian birds.
September 22, 201411 yr Author First impressions ... Yes its better than the otherwise excellent freeware UUEE. Said to be AES compatible (if Oliver gets off his butt). Quite a number a fine graphic glitches no doubt caused in downsizing textures ... rope, wire, antennae etc. Worth $A25? Yes, just.
September 22, 201411 yr Appliance, which freeware did you use so far? The one by Mozila, AlexMur and Aniter from 2011? Without having tested the DD product so far (have just bought it, but can install it not earlier than in the evening) I expect a product that really has the athmosphere of a "living" airport. That was what the UUEE freeware products lacked particularly and why UUEE was most needed of all big Moscow airports in my opinion. What I have seen from the screenshots at simmarkets: Static Il-96's and Tu-154's while Aeroflot has in fact phased them out...? I do like Stanislaw's static planes but I hope I can deactivate the ones with modern Aeroflot livery while keeping the lovely scrapyard with Il-86 and Il-76. I will show the airport my father and see if he remembers some parts from his 1968 USSR journey. Let's meet in Moscow! Harald Geyer Gründer der Messerschmitt Freunde Dresden v. V.

Those older planes in the field will stay I believe, as they're not considered "traffic". It's just a few unfortunate planes which likely won't see service again... Unfortunately such sight is normal in many airports in the east.
September 22, 201411 yr Author which freeware did you use Hi Harald. Not sure I'm afraid. Main folder named UUEE contains two folders named SVO1 and SVO-LC neither of which have read me's or other identifying features. Sorry. :(
September 22, 201411 yr No problem. Had my first tests with UUEE. But unfortunately it seems not to have the high standard as Tallinn or the Polish sceneries. Textures are a little bit "washed" and, as Tushka suspected, it's harder on frames than I expected from a DD scenery. Harald Geyer Gründer der Messerschmitt Freunde Dresden v. V.

It is not of the same high quality of Tallinn….almost looks like a different developer. My FS Videos
September 22, 201411 yr almost looks like a different developer. Yes, either this - or hastily converted for FS9 while EETN was planned as FS9 scenery from the beginning. Harald Geyer Gründer der Messerschmitt Freunde Dresden v. V.
September 23, 201411 yr Hard on frames indeed... I don't know what caused it. Even FSX version isn't the usual quality but maybe it makes sence as Sheremetyevo is more closed off to visitors taking photographs than those other airports in smaller and possibly more friendly airport mangement. Not sure how they got permission in the first place or maybe never did, or with help of native Russians. However, I'm still happy that UUEE was done. It's my hub for flight operations and obviously better quality than the freeware (even though the freeware is good and better for people with older machines).
September 23, 201411 yr I have tested a little in the night and there seem to be several frame hogs: At first a file "UUEE_extra.bgl" which contains, according to Stanislaw, extra objects (service vehicles etc.) Then it seems that the taxiway and apron lightings play a prominent role in FPS decrease. While the installer gives us the option to uncheck several object categories, the lighting system should be untouched by these. Bt it may well be that we just underestimate this airport with its buildings, trees, objects... and it's sheer area. I have posted a quite long text with some suggestions for improvements at Drzewiecki's forum, read it here: http://drzewiecki-design.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4700#4700 Also read Stanislaws very kind answer. almost looks like a different developer. The manual mentions "subcontractors"... Harald Geyer Gründer der Messerschmitt Freunde Dresden v. V.
