Having watched it again, I think this review comes across more negatively than I intended it to. The trouble is, I started with a couple of bad points (jetway and building texturing) and I found it quite hard to move on from that to pointing out that, actually, this is a pretty good scenery overall!

I personally didn‘t perceive it as negative because you clearly point out the good bits and give it a good overall verdict. Since the textures are probably one of the first things people notice when loading at a gate I think it makes sense to talk about the textures first. I think your review is well-balanced and fair.

Neither did i, i felt you gave an honest opinion on certain aspects of the addon, and just pointed out a couple of issues that didn't really detract from the overal look of the airport..

I can’t think of a more well-balanced and fair reviewer for MSFS right now than yourself. Have you thought about expanding into other areas like aircraft and general add ons?

Thank you for your kind words. I have thought about other areas - I did a 'first look' type review of FS2Crew's Flight Crew A320 in the early days of my channel, and may well do similar videos in the future. With scenery reviews, I can compare the airports to photos of the real world airport, and I can compare their quality with other add-on airports to draw some meaningful conclusions. The thing about aircraft add-ons is that what people really want to know is how realistically they fly, and how they compare to the real world aircraft in other ways. I'm not qualified to answer these questions. However, when we get a decent airliner or two, I may well have a go at at least describing how much I enjoy flying it!
