Shortly after it was announced about two weeks ago on their Facebook page, JustSim has released the V2 of their Düsseldorf / EDDL airport. The upgrade brings the scenery, originally released in June 2017, up to the latest standards for Prepar3D v4.4+. The airport is now up-to-date with the latest layout, is now compatible with SODE VDGS and sees the addition of PBR textures. Overall, the changes are pretty significant.
Düsseldorf airport is the third biggest airport of Germany, after Munich and Francfort. While the demise of Air Berlin has brought down passenger figures since late 2017, the airport still serves more than 24 Million passengers each year.
Düsseldorf V2 is only available on Prepar3D v4.4+ versions. Previous owner of Düsseldorf by JustSim who bought the scenery on Simmarket are entitled to an upgrade price of €5.90. The purchase has to be made with the same account as the previous version. New customers will be able to buy the full version on Simmarket for €19.90.
