some1 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Hello guys, this is a map that I've created for myself, but I found it quite cool so decided to share. It is basically a copy of the official Orbx product map, but I made several changes: - added standalone freeware airports - added airports from the 2018 roadmap - color coded the airports. This is to easier decide which ones are suitable for different kind of airplanes. The coding is as follows: BROWN - grass strips ORANGE - small paved GA airfields, LIGHT GREEN - bigger GA / small regional airports suitable for Dash 8 or a bizjet DARK GREEN - airports suitable for 737 BLUE - regional and international airports, with enough runway and parking place for at least 757 I did not use any fixed criteria for this classification, rather a combination of runway length, apron size, real world schedules and common sense. So there can be some errors or you may not agree with the classification. But I hope you'll find it useful https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-fqf4PZR7FHf0M7L3M_d2t5o2AuFgO22&usp=sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundancer Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Thank you for generating this colored map. I found a small mistake: The ICAO code for Claresholm Indus Airport in NRM on your map should be CEJ4 instead of CAJ4. Best regards Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jocko Flocko Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 This is super handy, it's greatly appreciated when planning flights from one OrbX airport to another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vora Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Very nice indeed. The roadmap really brought a plethora of airports, some being real surprises. I also keep track on projects announced in various posts and I have some more you might consider (if you want to update your map, ofc): - The roadmap not only shows Rockhampton but also a shot of Whitsunday Airport YSHR, halfway between Rockhampton and Cairns. - Matteo is working on the Gold Coast airport YBCG, obviously. - Alex already confirmed in a thread that he is working on Great Barrier Island NZGB. - According to another thread Ken seems to be working on Boulder City, Nevada, KBDU. - Larry's release of his freeware Refuge Cove YRC Now I'm just wondering what the next projects of Tim, Jarrad and Misha (Santa Barbara?) might be.

Thanks. I added those to the map. I think that Perth is also a confirmed development, though probably we'll wait a bit longer for that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingsCool Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 2B2/6B6? It really is a wonderful airport Bill Womack contribution that should be represented here. Oh, and could you add the Nashua and Manchester, NH project pair to the roadmap airports.... maybe it'll get them to do it?? Gateway to the NH White Mountains, Lakes region, Maine, Boston, even NYC is a short hop flight from there. A lot to fly to and see from there (Especially since there's not a single east coast airport in that roadmap list ) Thanks again, I use this all the time.

Kulbit Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I could be wrong but I think there is a small mistake. In the ORBX preview post, it is indicated that one of the airports will be Boulder City 61B, (KBVU), located a few miles from Las Vegas, while on the map is indicated the Boulder Municipal (KBDU), near Denver....
