Many thanks for the detailed review! We really appreciate the feedback, especially your recognition of the extensive work that was put into the airport.
There are a few things I'd like to note:
Runway 14/32 does not have centreline lighting in real life - only runway 05/23.
The lighting has been matched to the real thing, based on several hours of night time footage and images. From my experience, and it's just a personal taste, many airports in XP are overdone. Halifax Airport in real life is very dark at night - there are no lights along most of the streets away from the terminal, such as this one (also see attached photo). As a result, they were not lit in our package. However, if you can point out any particular lights we are missing, we will be sure to add them.
There is in fact grass included with our package throughout the airfield during summer. Perhaps you were set to spring or fall? We will be adding grass in the future to spring and fall but for now just summer.
"Even the excellent ALT Hotel looks bland and boring" - can you elaborate? All lights have been included, and LIT textures. We're quite proud of this particular building, actually.
"like the business signs and petroleum refueling brand signs that are not lit?" Sorry, but we do have many company signs that light up. We are very big on following real-life details, so if particular signs in real life do not lit up at night, we won't light them up either.
Thanks again for the support!
