This airport is in FlightGear complete with respect to the terminals. However, as there are constant changes going on in reality work is never really finished (for example, a "Terminal 3" will be coming soon). In addition to the airport the scenery also contains a fair amount of skyscrapers of Frankfurt and some other details. | |||

=== TerraSync scenery === | |||
The version available through [[TerraSync]] is reasonably up-to date, while the version in the Git repo contains some future changes (new runway, buildings under construction). In addition to that there is a new custom scenery with many details for the area around the airport. | |||
In General: | |||
* Starting with FlightGear version 3.0 (and Scenery 2.12) the new runways and new ILS-frequencies are included and/or downloaded by TerraSync | |||
* Prior to that you may use the AddOn-Scenery-Package from http://www.emmerich-j.de/EDDF/EDDF-ELLX-new.zip (See the README inside the package) | |||
