I am interested in purchasing this airport, and the screenshots of it on the MS Marketplace look really nice. However, 30% of the review scores are ONE star, and only 37% are FIVE stars. Is there a reason why there are so many one star reviews?

I hear its extremely heavy on fps and for no real reason beeing a fairly small airport after all. For Norway there is most often an as good (or sometimes even better) free options from very talented Norwegian designers including the guy who made the two free Norway arports in the latest Nordic WU update. Airports like Svolvaer, Bergen, Sogndal, Sandane and many others come to mind.

The free ENTC is very good and keeps getting better.

A quick check of the freeware version indicates that the terminal buildings are not up to the quality that I would like, so I may take a gamble on the M'M Simulations version. After all, some people say that IniBuilds airports (particularly EGLL London Heathrow) are heavy on framerates, but they seem to work fine on my very modest PC.

I use their scenery and have no problems with it.

I guess of course it depends on systems as well. I dont have the best computer so that is limiting things as well 😁

Every winter I am in Tromsö so I know the actual airport very well. I also have the version of M'M Simulations and I can tell you that it is consistent with reality. 
The notes were at the time of the first versions, which was not fully compatible with the WU. Since then there have been updates from the airport and also from WU. 
Personally I fly there regularly.

interesting to know how you find it. The location is amazing of course and if you like it and frames are good I might pick it up as well 😁 

I will let you know, Mike.

Thx

UPDATE - I have just completed a quick circuit of the airport after departing from runway 18, and then took the drone for a spin around the apron, terminal and other buildings. I did not experience any framerate or stutter problems whatsoever. The airport is in a beautiful location, and there is a very nice rendition of the Sandnessund Bridge spanning the stretch of water between Tromsoya Island and the much larger Kvaloya Island to the west that can be seen on final approach to runway 18.

So, for anyone who is still on the fence....go and get it!
