Our Community Manager, Chaz, is taking us on a tour of Hamburg Airport (EDDH) and playing a short stint right after release.

Hamburg Airport is a major international airport in Hamburg, the second-largest city in Germany. Since November 2016 the airport has been named after the former German chancellor Helmut Schmidt. It is located 8.5 km (5.3 mi) north of the city centre in the Fuhlsbüttel quarter and serves as a hub for Eurowings and focus city for Condor. It was formerly named Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel Airport, a name still frequently used.

– Realistic modelling with over 80 custom modelled buildings.
– Detailed ground polygon model.
