Sylvain Delepierre Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Hello everybody, So you like Europe? You like the Alps? You like Switzerland? You will love Saanen. I am pleased to announce my next airport, FTX LSGK Saanen airport. Located in the heart of the Swiss Alps, not far from lake Leman, at 90 kilometers from Geneva (LSGG) and 320 kilometers from Innsbruck (LOWI), the scenery covers over 70 square kilometers of photoreal including the villages of Saanen, Gstaad and Rougemont. Enjoy these first shots. No shots of the airport buildings yet since the painting is not dry. Only this paparazzi managed to capture this shot from behind the fence. Expect more shots soon. Yours sincerely, Sylvain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 THANKS ORBX!!!!! I mean who in the sim world DOES this? No one. Do you know how much I appreciate this? This is how to generate life-long customers. I don't even bother looking at other companies' stuff anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mburkhard Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Thank you for doing something in Switzerland! I hope that later on you'll do full-fledged payware airports within Switzerland, plenty of medium-sized marvels around here, like Sion (LSGS), Samedan, near St. Moritz (LSZS) or Lugano (LSZA), all surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery. Lugano features a challenging IGS steep approach, so does Sion, and Samedan is high-altitude surrounded by steep mountain sides, but taking up to 737 / A320 aircraft. So lots of challenges to be found around here, both for small and big aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vora Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Wonderful work, Silvain! I hope you stay with charming alpine airports - LIDA is one of my favourite places already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After my last complete new setup due to the new PC, only the ORBX world found the way back on my sim. There is no need need for other. Thanks Sylvian for this great svenery, looking forward to it. cheers Thorsten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeJay Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 How cool is that?!! If I personally had one wish for a Swiss airfield, this would have been it. I've been at this airport several times, but not for flying, but for playing music at the nearby festival which took place once a year at Saanen airport territory. Definitely the most scenic concert and on of the nicest festivals I've ever played on - and this have been quite a few! So I've already used the real runway there, but not with an aircraft, but with the tour bus as the runway was part of the official way to get to the festival I've wondered if I would ever have the chance to fly there virtually. Now I will have. Thanks so much for even doing this for free!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeJay Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 BTW: Any chance for a "festival mode" similar to Avalon or Vashon Muni? https://madmuni.jimdo.com/fotos/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
