The use of realistic airports for departure or landing greatly enhance the feeling of realism when the environment around your aircraft look real, when you overfly trees and houses, with birds around in the sky.

That’s the kind of environment Aerosoft reproduced in each individual VFR airfield they’ve made in Germany, with photoreal (night and winter) textures, Autogen, custom Autogen, surroundings upgraded, wind turbines as landmarks, approach charts etc. Visit them in FSX or P3D : Betzdorf-Kirchen EDKI, Stadtlohn-Vreden EDLS and Hamm-Lippewiesen EDLH.
