An Austrian friend mentioned that the airports in FTX AU had a much more natural appearance than those in FTX NA.  Not having them both, just the NA, thought I'd ask any who have both to comment.

Thanks for that - their major airports are works of art.  Don't doubt there'll be similar efforts to addon the PNW.  The airports my friend was referring to were the minor municipal and county-type airports and how they appeared to blend in rather than the Microsoft look of super black with bright white markings - standing out like sore thumbs in otherwise pleasant, pastoral countryside.  Not to forget the obligatory VASI lights that stand out like little lighthouses and can be seen from fantastic distances.

I believe you'll be in good shape no matter what package you get. The airports are all produced by what I believe is the Orbx team, meaning that they should all be of similar quality. Some of the larger ones may indeed stand out more, but that would be realistic as there would probably be better upkeep of the surrounding area when compared to the small rural destinations. (Such things as large expanses of mowed/maintained grass, etc.)
