Sorry, I have not got any more photos of real life Orbx airport. Anyone can have a go.
Cheers Bernie.
Just to keep it going, even if this might be too easy...:

Anyone else with a real life shot of an Orbx airfield? Must not be in MSFS already, that old sim qualifies as well...

KSFF - Felts Field many years ago .
A great shot. And so close to you - we might have had this idea earlier...
Are you in the position to give us another one?

Sorry .......
John, I fear we all need a little hint. The weather is definetively more Washington State than San Diego...

Another wild guess: Juneau, some years ago?

That´s a hard one, John. The homebase of Mule Air Services?

Here is one of my favourite Orbx airports of all time, and probably the most used by me, although it has been a while.
Nice picture, and not too easy as well. Let me try to narrow it down:
With the lovely Virgin Australia and the not-so-lovely Jetstar this is most probably taken somewhere in OZ.
With the most-lovely Singapore Airline in the background it can only be a major international airport.
So we have the choice between...
- Perth (no Orbx airport available, unfortunately)
- Adelaide (no Orbx airport available)
- Sydney (no Orbx airport needed)
- Brisbane
- Melbourne
- Canberra
No initial guessing from me today...

Would it still be okay to post this shot?
Of course, mate! Come on, solve the "quest" and get us the next one...

Brisbane (YBBN) at low tide. On appraoch to rwy 19, now 19L. In the background one can see the construction of the only recently opened rwy 19R. So you must have been there not long time ago.
Sherlock Wolfgang has found it again. And the right timing as well: That picture was taken the last spring before Corona.
The only Orbx airports I can (plan) travel to now are Porta Westfalica (already posted here), Innsbruck (same), Jena (don´t own it and have no interest, the German freeware airfields (too small to travel to). Ah, I have one more:
Probably too easy to guess. So... please answer only, if you can reply with a picture from your travels.

The problem is I don't have any real world pics of Orbx airfields...plenty of non-Orbx airfield shots though. At any rate, I will defer to Gerold @Stillwaterfor the next shot
Okay, my friends, I do not have very many left - there is no much flying on this planet currently! But let me try to overcome imgur struggles...

It appears to me this thread is dead... MSFS absorbs all attention. I just throw "Walter Suttons?" in the field...

I'd certainly buy it.
Me too. And for the same reason: I suspect it will take quite the time until MSFS totally fills my interests (study-level planes, sceneries in the level we are used to, all the utilities we use).
And during that time I will continue to buy p3d-addons. But: Only top-prio-add-ons, as I would probably have to pay a significant amount for bringing them into MSFS later.
In other words: This will be a cheap year for me.

That's the bridge to Somoa in the background. KEKA But, I must apologize......I posted this one already! Senior moment! I have another one of a PNW most popular Orbx airport. I'll go find it.
Rob, do you see the chance that you find a new quest for us? We should not mix it up with MSFS shots...

You remember the $/€ figure JV once quoted?
We do not know on which base the development decisions are based. What we do know is that some people are not only interested to buy olc Asia, but even vote and comment here!

Gerold
- I just realised that I might have made a Blue - its Sydney - and I have
just realised that it is not an Orbx airport since I rarely use it in my simming
Sorry!
I almost put up an obvious Heathrow and realised that that wasn't an Orbx as well.
Try this
That is not totally obvious... so we have to work a bit.
Australia is evident, because of the famous airline.
Flat land with trees, so no outback.
Oceania Aviation ground handling is the only specific hint I see... http://www.oceaniaaviation.com/australia-oceania-ground-handling/ . Which leaves the following airports in the list: Hervey Bay (not that much jet traffic), Brisbane (has mostly jetways), Gold Coast, Coffs Harbour. Due to the slightly intense traffic I would go for Gold (Coast)?
-
Hmmm, it might be a Qantas plane, so I would exclude Europe. Orbx has no airfields in Asia, Africa, South America as well. And I doubt Qantas had connections to the few suitable Orbx airports in North America (San Diego would be the only long-distance suited for Aussies). So it comes down to Australia.
The building between tail and stairway looks like an old tower, we will need to check...

Launceston - freebie Orbx a/p
You got it (again), John. Your turn to post another one, if you have?

Was there kinda sand storm going on when you took the foto?
Indeed it was. With a slight delay before boarding, but takeoff was fine. Qantas knows what to expext there...
I have the next one already here...:

Boah, you are correct and fast. As I suppose you do not have pictures in stock, are you ok if I post another one?

dead right Gerold - here's another view with my Citation 560XL - literally on Lift Off
and where Orbx includes most of the town.
Bundaberg's famous Pilot was Bert Hinkler - the first man to fly solo from England to Australia
and his plane is in the local museum
Perfect, thank you John!
So I have the chance to move back to real pictures. Shouldn´t be too difficult, as always.

Speaking of Orbx airports - I have quietly been revisiting my Library of them - including Aus V2 - keeping
a number of screenshots - and when August 18th arrives my first flight will be around my Antipodean country
once more - not only to see what MS have done - but to compare what we currently have - to what MSD is orffering.
Meanwhile - in the absence of a current Question - try this easy one.
Next guess from my side John: Bundaberg?

So it is okay to post screenshots out of the sim rather than real world photos?
You are correct Wolfgang, my intention was seeing real life shots of Orbx airports.
Let us try to guess the last one from @John Heaton and then only go on with real photos. If there are some more to come...

The clue of Wolfgang is correct. To my knowledge REX does not leave the continent?
Whilst the Antonov in the background could be confusing. Let me assure you she did not have to go too far south, and the runway surely is long enough.
