I don't know if you guys saw this but Aerosoft Berlin Brandenburg (BER) has been released here: https://www.aerosoft.com/en/flight-simulation/continents-sceneries/europe/germany/3252/aerosoft-airport-berlin-brandenburg?c=1707

One thing I like about the airport is that, it uses the new lighting system which makes taxiways looks way better and realistic, not  blue light festival like the default airports or majority of other payware lol. Let's hope there will be more payware using this technology.

Surprising it didn't take 14 years to finish and it doesn't have broken escalators or fire detectors lol

I don’t want to be negative because there is a lot of things to like about it from the trailer but one thing stood out to me, it looks so empty which really ruins the immersion.

True, its quality is not on the level of EDDK unfortunately but yeah, the only nice thing is just the new lighting system

Wouldn't a busy BER be more immersion breaking?

True, but there’s still 60 plus flights in and out of there tomorrow (just checked, very bored) plus I want the airport to feel realistic when we come out of this lockdown. As I say still looks pretty nice but the lack of traffic an just a lot tarmac in sight doesn’t give a good look to the overall feel an with the pandemic if we’re talking about reality there should be a ton of parked aircraft 😊

True, but one is to be avoided (uses Google imagery, which just looks awful close-up) and the other two could do with collaborating (as has been suggested to one of them in the comments).

Just flown into EDDB and on the plus side....no stuttering/freezing on approach. Albeit this was my first and only approach. 

Version 2 of LimeSim/Aerosoft's EDDB has been released with an extensive list of changes.
For v1 owners, these come as a free update.

I would assume they mean 06/24...
