Explore five more highly detailed airfields in the third part in the series "Swiss VFR Airports Part 3". Four of these airfields are in eastern Switzerland and one of them in Tessin in the South: Amlikon in the canton Thurgau, Mollis in Glarnerland, Bad Ragaz in the South of St.Galler Rheintals, Samedan in Graubünden and Locarno in the Italian speaking part of Switzerland.
The product series "Swiss VFR Airports" is the brainchild of Jeffrey Stähli who is also the developer of the famous Switzerland Professional X scenery.
An important aspect was to make the airfields and their immediate surroundings as realistic as possible and for this reason, photorealistic textures were used. Distinctive objects around the airfield were placed as an orientation guide. Each airport also fits seamlessly into the photo realistic scenery “Switzerland Professional X” thanks to the exact ground layout. The “Swiss VFR Airports Part 3” add-on is compatible with both FS 2004 and FSX. We hope you will enjoy these realistic and impressively designed airfields!

Conclusion by Avsim.com:
"I reviewed a couple of those, too, and if they worked in FSX, I would still be flying them. The technology moves on, but the local details are still engrossing. I like the Swiss airfields just as much, and for much the same reasons: they’re somewhat exotic (to American eyes); they’re grouped close enough for short hops; and while I’m there, I don’t worry about framerates. Also, they’re in Switzerland."
