the (X-Plane) view from the tower is perfect with coverage over the sweep of the runway and over the small GA area between the terminal ramps and the tower complex areas. The airport tower is perfectly reproduced with the associated ground buildings. South-east side and northish of the terminal is the tower complex, that is part the control tower and part a cargo depot.

It is not really a full airbase here but just a collection of hangars and bunkers, there are a few military vehicles here (tankers) but no static aircraft. As with most Scandinavian countries most airports are both civil and military and here at EFRO the airbase part is located on the north-western side. The commercial side of EFRO is located on the south-eastern side of the runway. All these buildings and hangars are again great reproductions (mostly to the south of the terminal area) and a fuel depot is partly hidden behind. Most of the clusters are cargo associated, as there is not one large cargo depot here, but about three very small ones spread around in various places. Once you move away from the central terminal area the scenery has many small clusters of buildings and hangars. The surrounding areas around the terminal in carparks, lighting, static vehicles and the various items are all quite perfect and well laid out, even the approach road has vehicles that travel into the airport (X-Plane default traffic) that gives the airport animation and life. Arrival side there is Santa to greet you and a couple of sweet snowmen.Īircraft side the ramp lineage and layout is first-rate, but there are no static aircraft or ramp equipment and so it looks a quite bare (DAI-Media have noted they are both coming soon). It is very hard to get any light into the building and so it looks dull, but it is still very well constructed and a perfect reproduction of the current terminal, close up detailing is very good. There is only one main terminal with two airbridges (needed this far up in the cold north) that is quite grey and dark. everything is correct to give you a perfect replication of the airport and its surroundings. You get what you pay for, and here is in the specialist details like the perfect installation of the ILS tower with the worn tracks to the instrument. Get down close to the runway and taxiways and the textures are simply first-rate, with cracks and sealant and genuine markings covering all the surfaces, all the main runway markings and taxiway linage are also excellent as is the grass and infields that fill in the areas around the main movement areas. There is only one runway in 03/21 3,002 (9,849ft) Asphalt Elev 642 ft / 196 m, but from above it looks like a smaller cross runway has been removed. This is very important to get that "I am there" feeling and there is no badly flattened photo objects here.
The transition from the surrounding area to the custom scenery is simply seemless, and EFRO - Rovaniemi is no exception and in fact the design is pretty close to perfect.
I have always been a huge fan of DAI-Media sceneries, because they are the very best (if not the best) at inserting their custom sceneries into the surrounding X-Plane default textures. If you already have Truscenery's excellent EFTP - Tampere-Pirkkala then this scenery is a perfect addition for a Helsinki - Tampere-Pirkkala - Rovaniemi - Helsinki regional service. An a great addition to your northern collection it is.
Rovaniemi Airport is also the fifth biggest airport in Finland by annual number of passengers, and is located in Rovaniemi about 10 kilometres (6 mi) north of Rovaniemi city centre, central-northern Finland.ĭAI-Media has come north from their usual areas of Romania and the Mediterranean coastal airports to Finland for this scenery. They all come here to visit the "Santa Claus Village and Santa Park" that is situated 2km from the airport. A smaller later season of Russians then arrive in January because they celebrate Christmas later. It delivers 329,900 (2011) passengers annually, but the main season of charter traffic from Great Britain and many other European countries lasts from the end of November until the middle of January annually. Rovaniemi Airport is known better by its unoffical name of "Santa Claus Airport", situated with its northern part of its single runway on the Arctic Circle.
