Summary
EIDW - Dublin is certainly a return to form for Aerosoft in scenery in X-Plane. Complex and very complete and right up to date with all the latest gates and terminals. The inner areas are full of buildings of every shape and size and completely recreates this iconic Irish airport in full.
In Aerosoft fashion EIDW is sterile without any of the static aircraft inserted and has no animations or animated airbridges on the ramps to give the airport some life, so the "Static Aircraft" is a must install if you don't fly online. I found the frame-rate good for such a very big object investment scenery, I could at a push run in the "very high" resolution, but it pushed the graphic settings over my misery 512mb allowance and with that I lost a lot of speed, In the "high" setting I had no problems at all but however the gap between very high and high is huge because of the large amount of textures living in here, so if you have 1gb or more of graphic memory you will be fine in the "very high"setting to absorb all that graphic work. The note here then is that the scenery has this huge amount of textures to process and overall when considering the amount of objects on the ground it is exceptionally good.
Lighting is good but not exceptional and has more that FS look than the usual X-PLane HDR feel that is again is common from Aerosoft.
Overall in the design and execution of the scenery... Aerosoft's EIDW - Dublin Airport is simply first rate and as an investment it is exceptional, and it is certainly valuable to have this significant selection of scenery in X-Plane and it is placed for high usage in the western UK/European part of the world...

Installation
File Download Size 463.50mb - Installation Size 1.03gb
Aerosoft provide their own installation application with the scenery and a serial number is required. The installer will insert the scenery into the main X-Plane "Custom Scenery" folder. It is important if you install the extra folder with the "Static Aircraft" that the "Static Aircraft" folder is above the main Dublin scenery in the scenery_packs.ini list. If not the aircraft won't be seen in the scenery?
The Scenery comes with a full set of "Charts" (44 Pages) and a manual in German and English (20 Pages)
