Sorry it took so long to reply, thanks Larry I will have to go for a flight back there 

 

Just another quick question? Does that mean it updates with the North American freeware, or is it another download? If so, where can I find it?

 

Cheers

Hi Nathan,

 

What it means is there is now an ORBX  "payware" region that covers the area - so no "freeware" airports will be made in this area... You have to buy the Northern Rockies Region to get it... I just picked that up over Christmas specifically to get Nelson - as there is a YouTube channel that is based there with tons of high quality HD videos of aircraft arriving and departing the airport... It's kind of nice replicating some of the flights I've seen in the videos - ORBX included the unique bridge which is a nice touch... Would love to see this airport get the full ORBX airport treatment as there is a great deal of visual interest in the area and it seems to be a cool resort destination...

 

Here's the YouTube channel which I like:

Hi Folks,

 

Thanks for the responses...

 

Yeah - I had made an earnest attempt on KMGJ back in FS9, spent countless hours on it, and had it mostly completed... Unfortunately I stalled out - as I couldn't make decent night textures on the ground poly's I was happy with - and that satellite coverage area was vast - probably should have been less ambitious... So it was relegated to the dust bin and never got released - but I did complete custom models for all the structures and satellite imagery... I haven't done any serious development since then...

 

LOL - I remember hand placing over 10,000 trees with Autogen Annotator on the imagery - quite the task...

 

My old project thread if interested: http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?259873-Improving-my-little-corner-of-the-world&highlight=KMGJ 

 

If I thought it would help - I'd donate all my models to the cause...

 

I learned to fly over at KPOU - would love to see it - but that airport never had the charm of KMGJ...

 

Regards,

Scott

As new freeware airports are added, will the Orbx Payware and Freeware map be updated as well? This is a great flight planning tool that I use practically all of the time!! Thanks for all the airports you have provided!!

 

Hi...

 

This is the one I use and it's been kept up to date - I believe it's "unofficial" though...

Hi Folks,

Just throwing one out for consideration - I've recently got into flying business jets - thanks to FSW Lear 35A (I just can't get enough of this plane) - always looking for "executive" class airports to gain access to major metropolitan areas without hitting a Bravo - Cleveland's Burke Lakefront fits the bill well and do to its proximity to water - jacks up the interest a bit...

Hi Folks,

Tangier Is would be cool - flown in there for real - sits under a restricted area - so you need to note you altitude on the way in....

How about anything Cape Air ? Really would like to see a Biz Jet capable feeder to NYC - (perfect for vacation hops to Bar Harbor) White Plains (KHPN) has some truly beautiful approaches in a bit of a more frame rate friendly area than say Teterboro...

Hi Folks,

Totally appreciate anything you guys do but if you're open to suggestions...

Yeah - looking for one in NY - the area south of Albany is devoid of any substantial airports - my favorites:

KMGJ - Orange County - medium size GA field...

KSWF - Stewart Airport - medium sized commercial airport...

KHPN - White Plains - medium sized commercial airport...

One in CT

KDXR - Danbury CT - medium sized biz jet airport in a bowl surrounded by hills that make for some cool approaches...

Thanks one and all !

Regards,

Scott
