Since it's December - A lot of simmers will be wanting to do winter flights and of course fly to the official airport of Santa himself! MK-Studios have released a small update to EFRO today. 

Quote

Right in time for Christmas, MK-Studios has issued a small update for their Rovaniemi airport. The update adds some effects for cold weather, as well as some changes to winter objects. Certainly both welcome changes considering the time of the year.

Changelog

• Conditional visibility added for winter objects,
• Smoke FX added for cold weather,
• Glass improvements,
• General fixes and cleanup.

Almost 12 months later ... previously on sale at just over £8 (may have been prior to the update) but currently £13 on Orbx... alternative, freeware version suffers from terrain issues (don't wish to install additional mods to fix those issues). So, big question... in the absence of any recent reviews, is the 'updated' payware version worth the current price?

I fly to Rovaniemi once a year.  Usually on the pre-xmas VATSIM event.  Still think it's worth it for the event

Black Friday and Christmas sales are imminent. Wait to see what is offered between now and the end of the year.

In the rip-off P3D scenery days, £13 was the sale price💥

Yeah, I was thinking that too...

I've done the flights now using the default airport but have decided to buy the payware the next time it's discounted.
Sometimes when we feel underwhelmed by new payware, we should perhaps stop to consider just how much better even the most basic renditions are when compared to the default version.

What date is this year's event so I don't go anywhere near it please.  Thanks

Can't bear any default autogen airport. Payware and handcrafted airports are what create immersion. For me, any great scenery no matter where it's located, is worth picking up.

Very appreciative that Microsoft has bought in various developers like GayaSim, NZA Sim and WombiiActual, among others to bring us airports I'd never normally consider to fly to/from. Lots of hops to be had around the Nordic countries now with handcrafted EFIV, ENLK, EKRN, ESSA and payware options like MK-Studios' EFHK and EFRO.
