mglan80 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I've read some other posts about the smaller strips in the ORBX regions, and I've come across a few now. Landed this afternoon at one of the fantastic "upgraded" airports in the Central Rockies region on leg five of a cross continent tour - Orcas (KORS) to Lewiston - Nez Perce (KLWS). What a great small regional airport. Good amount of detail, and there's likely dozens of these! Seems like a nice place to have a look around! One of the great things about the ORBX regions are these upgraded fields. I'll never be able to see them all, but it's so much fun to land and see what's been done to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Newman Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 More than dozens... Every single airport within the region boundary is upgraded to the same level... Granted, they're not all larger, regional airports, but go to a few of the smaller strips and you'll see the same 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottb613 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) Hi Folks, And - add in all the "improved" freeware airports outside the regions - and there are more than you can possibly fly to... I flight plan off this map all the time and only use "improved" airports... https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=16TLldaoxxmFv7wOWfYyM8zV-bgM&ll=6.066414668843625%2C0&z=1 Regards, Scott Edited December 28, 2016 by scottb613 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 That's excellent. Orbx always manages to delight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mglan80 Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 When I said dozens, I did mean the smaller regional airports. You're right in that there are hundreds of small fields that have been improved, too. I've landed at several, and some are a very pleasant surprise! I think, for the most part, the regions are a very good deal given all of these extras. Wish I had more time to explore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
