Review by FSNews.eu:
"Overall, Aerosoft has done a great job in their recreation of Frankfurt Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator. [..] So, is this worth the EUR 24.95 price tag? Yes, it is. Frankfurt Airport has all sorts of long, medium, and short-haul flights and you will enjoy flying in and out of this massive airport."

Conclusion by Thresholdx.net:
"It's definitely the best rendition of Frankfurt to date, and there's no lack of route options to fly, be it with the flag carrier Lufthansa or basically any major carrier worldwide, as Frankfurt is the de facto gateway to Germany."
