Nice review, and it does look like they could have done a bit better job on it. They seem to 'hire' people to produce stuff for them, though, so their releases are only as good as the individuals they get to make the stuff...if those individuals take short cuts and Aerosoft don't notice, or think they can sell it anyway, well... :o
On the other hand, check out the posts by Bob and I in the payware forum right now. They show Lukla in default FSX. It is horrible, the mesh around is horrible, and the default textures are horrible. That's 3 horribles. So this scenery with it's proper runway/mesh/autogen/textures is a real improvement!
Unfortunately, while in FS9 Lukla is a good base for exploring the Himalayas, and if you get good freeware mesh for the whole region, and the nepalese airfields pack by...someone or other (40 or so airports if I remember) + the two other airfields, you have with Lukla a great base for exploring an excellent region for stol mountain flying....
...but why would you want to do that in FSX? The region around the custom scenery will still be as ugly as hell, and until Ground Environment Asia comes out in..I guess Xmas 2009 or later... the region isn't worth a second look. :'(
