REVIEW: Drzewiecki Design Krakow

[FilbertFlies 980]

My latest review is of Drzewiecki Design's Krakow. This add-on features not only the main international airport (Kraków John Paul II, EPKK) but also Kraków-Rakowice-Czyżyny Airport (EPKC) in the city centre and a huge number of hand-modelled buildings and landmarks.

Well done, as always - thanks!

Filbert in your reviews i would like to know if the runway frequencies for these addon airports autotune for the ILS as they do in the default airports that its replacing. There are a few addon airports that do not have this feature and some (myself included ) consider this a deal breaker. Some (or most) may be ok with manually entering the information but its absence indicates to me a forced removal (i'm sure unintentionally)  of database functionality for the Garmin  especially if it was there before in default config and i buy an add-on and its no longer there. (Is it possible that you could state whether the functionality is there or not in your reviews) ?

 

Thank You for your time and effort in doing these reviews for the community

Cheers

I'll try and do this. I won't make any promises though cos my reviews already take about 3 times as long to do as I'd like them to (I think 6 hours is about the average) and adding more into them fills me with dread! 😆

Great review as always Filbert👍

 

I've been to Krakow three times, absolutely brilliant place to visit and would recommend it.

they have that main airport pretty spot on imo, right down to the party bus waiting outside the main terminal😁

At the very beginning of every one of your excellent video reviews you approach and land at the airport. Simply stating that you are using the autotuned ILS approach would be a bonus of course (unless it landed somewhere other than the runway). 🙂

I'm really enjoying your reviews, but I agree that you may want to spend at least a minute or so talking about the airport functionality, not just the eye candy and textures. There are a lot of addon airports that have various basic features missing. Not just the already mentioned ILS autotune function, but also missing ground services, misconfigured or missing taxiway designations (which leads to ATC not being able to give exact taxiway directions) or other things like nonfunctional windsocks.

Yes, that's a fair point, I can definitely manage that! 😆

Wow, never really took into consideration the time an effort you put into these fantastic reviews. We all owe you a debt of gratitude around here.. Keep up the great work.
