Wow, can't believe Drzewiecki slept on this one, but I think their focus now fully shifted to big hubs. Does anyone have this one? Thoughts?

What big hubs is DD working on?

KEWR to come out before Christmas.

Not impressed (yet). Buildings are OK, but the taxilines are blurry as well as the stand numbers. Nool Aero VDGS is included (not Aerosoft as stated on simMarket), a cool feature, but guidance is way off. Parking positions are not fully aligned and in my case ILS 30 was not working as well. So definately things the dev can iron out...

You can easily guess by the speed of their releases (like one every 3-4 weeks) that this is not gonna be the same quality as DD. Pass.

There’s a pretty good EPWA freeware on flightsim.to. Looks like this has slightly more landslide detail, but the freeware even has interior terminal modeling so may be a serious competitor.

Does anyone know if Drzewiecki Design intends to make this for MSFS? Similarly, EPWR Wroclaw. These Polish Airports/Airfields once were their butter and bread, and I already asked myself why they didn't produce them yet for MSFS.

Kind regards, Michael

Honestly this is an issue with every single airport, though granted some can be worse than others. If you compare to P3D or XP, taxi lines are nice and crisp.

Here's a reply from Martin on the Drzewiecki Design forums:

We are not able to answer the question of when - but as we said, our goal is to release most of our existing products in MSFS.

Given that KEWR will sell more copies than any of the Polish airports, I can see why DD decided to go for it. However, large airports take a very long time to get to the high standard in MSFS that we expect from good developers.

You can have an airport scenery every month from developers like Fly 2 High, FSXcenery or Brazil Land Games or you can wait for Flightbeam, FlyTampa, DD, NZA Sim, Jo Sund, etc. to deliver.

As impatient as I am for the best devs to release their products, in the FS market, you can have quantity or quality. Never both.

Thank you, so it's a tough decision either Fly 2 High or Freeware or Wait... or buy now and later once again.😭

BTW, Fly 2 High certainly isn't Fly Tampa but I wouldn't put them together with Brazil Land Games either.

Kind regards, Michael

Dont understand why polish DD does not release polish capital till today. I don’t even know if they ever will. I have been desperate for a decent EPWA and I think fly2high does a good job with that one.

Because Chicago Midway, Newark, Washington, Moscow etc. are much more popular (= generate more sales); the other ones they did are small airports that do not take much time to develop. I'm sure they'll turn to EPWA once they get Newark out and then Baku.
