...and what about native compatibility with TrueEarth Netherlands? Has anyone checked yet?

It is compatible 😉 even in the winter 😎

Wasnt sure where to fly this weekend, NOW I know my destination :D

VRAM usage is horrible. Worst performer among my 70+ sceneries' collection. 6.2 GB on initial load and growing up to 7. 2080 textures, no TE Netherlands.

It was insta buy for me, and no issues with performance.

Is this with a default aircraft of payware out of curiosity?

PMDG 777. Haven’t tried FSL buses yet, but they are  obviously heavier on VRAM. Some respectable member of FSL community already reporting CTD due to high VRAM on final. 
 

I haven’t tried full flight myself yet, but I already see that EHAM has higher than usual VRAM usage on the initial load 

[Johnny19 344]

Interesting, flew in and out with FSL bus but no ctd. 

[okupton 308]

Interesting. I haven’t had those issues, but maybe my settings are lower than yours.

One of the gotchas with FSL is that some of the popular community paints that have special paintkits use massive amounts of VRAM, like literally double, compared to other paints.

Yeah this needs a 10GB+ card if you don't want to have to use garbage 1024 textures to prevent crashing.

Agree, EHAM is only Flyable with 1024px Setting with my 8GB graphic card currently :(

I am thinking of upgrading this christmas to a 12GB graphic card already but for now, if I fly to EHAM (or EDDF its the same there) i need to reduce to 1024px

I disagree. I have an 8GB GTX 1070 and it's perfectly usable:
- P3Dv5.1
- 2048px textures on a 1440P resolution monitor, with 4xSSAA & AF 16x.
- FT AMSv2
- PMDG NGXu & 777
- Orbx Global & OpenLC
- NL2000v5
- REX, Active Sky
- GSXlvl2

It's close to the max in terms of VRAM, but I have no issues. But you have to be mindful of your settings, addons and configuration of said addons.
For example, try tweaking your True Earth NL settings and disable some VFR-only items. Or ensure your aircraft repaints are not excessively large and not optimized. Also, other programs besides flightsim use VRAM: Volanta (close to 1 GB), Chrome, Discord, etc. 

Use Process Explorer from Microsoft as a little tool to see which programs are using VRAM:

Does it come with animated rioters and fires that are happening right now? 

[331BK 96]

strange sems i have a mix between old and new airport.

Altough i uninstalled the old and installed the new one.  Also tried to reinstall TE NL. 

But still i have benches hovering in the air, and gates without buildings.

Update:

Problem, solved, had to move the entries up in the list.
