Known issues, currently not included yet or not planned:
- Not all buildings are done. If a building is currently not present, there is an autogen building instead
- Some aprons, parking spots or taxiway lines are not included yet
- Currently not all objects have LODs
- Further polishing of the airport with more details, better textures, improved ground markings, better night-lighting and so on will come in future updates
- Currently only standard jetways by Asobo. Custom jetways might be done in the future

 

This project is made with a mix of default and custom textures. Therefore when using a mod which changes the default ground textures/lines, the look might be different.
