Ziggy Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 All of the Air strips on the Mackenzie vally run in the N.W.T. Canada would be just Awesome!!! I beleive it has been done already, but not with the FTX touch 4 mile lake, Fort Smith N.W.T. Float base would be cool too, complete with lily pad flow as well as CYSM, the Fort Smith Regional Airport Very Small Stuff here, easy for Pros like you guys Thanks for taking the time for our requests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFS Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 To the ever-growin' list of Orbx-enhanced airports, I humbly request that Plymouth Municipal Airport (KPYM) in Plymouth, MA be added. (And, as with dominique's request, I'd love to see some of the South Pacific island airports Orbxized, especially those with historical ties to WWII.) -Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 YMBA - Mount Isa, the hub of Outback Queensland after YLRE Longreach(birthplace of Qantas) major base for the RFDS, yet there is no decent scenery available just the crappy stock with a few generic autogen buildings and terminal.

takl23 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I used to own this airport in FSeconomy: KSCX in Tenn. It's actually an airpark almost in the middle of nowhere. Here is their website: http://www.bsfairpark.com/the-airport/ It's about 100nm east of KBNA (Nashville) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Thanks Todd for starting this thread.As I do most of my flying around Queensland could I suggest the following airports that could do with the FTX touch. Mackay YBMK Proserpine/Whitsunday YBPN Bowen YBWN Maroochydore.Sunshine Coast YBSU- would compliment Caloundra YCDR perfectly Toowoomba YTWB Thank you again for the opportunity to make my suggestions And...YMBA Mount Isa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Cox Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Michael, Todd mentioned in his opening post that they will not be considering airports in full blown ORBX regions. Suggest that OzX is the way to go for you. Cheers Jack So Jack what you are saying is that if you live in the great country of Australia you may as well forget posting any requests. You may not realise it but the OZx team disbanded a couple of years ago. A lot of the airstrips that OZx did were bush strips that were not included in FSX. Australia has many airports/airstrips that could do with enhancement. Some that come to mind are: YMAY, YSWG, YMDG, YBHI, YTEM and Mildura just to mention a few. YTEM would be great as it is the home of the largest collection of warbirds in Australia with all of them flying. Also Temora was a major training airport during WWII so it has a long history. YBHI was on the ORBX road map at one time but seems to have died a natural death. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Hill Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Hi Greybird, I did KMCD in Pack 2, looks good from here. The rest of your airports look interesting as a small group, and it's 58OH, not 85OH. Cheers, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ematheson Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Please... U42. Salt Lake Muni. No. 2. If you could include the closed runways from its days as Kearns AAF back in WWII and the Apaches and Blackhawks on the Army National Guard ramp, that would be wonderful. It would be even better if there were a couple static R22s and R44s on the northern end of the ramp for the helicopter school and the old broken down Vampire that was on the ramp for a while!

Pat, I was not making any geopolitical statement, simply pointing out that Todd said in his opening post that they would not be doing any airports for regions. I imagine that this is a question of whether or not the freeware airports that Niel, Todd ,Larry, Sylvain etc are doing blend in with both FTX Global and a full blown ORBX region, but I don't know enough about scenery design to say if that is correct or not.

An extremely basic representation default FSX airport, no taxiways, no ramps, no buildings, just a runway in a paddock. With new life Orbx breathes amazingly into FSX, it's a shame there hasn't been any attention given to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce e Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Thanks for all the requests, folks. We are keeping a rolling list so keep your requests coming. And, just FYI, the reason we don't do airports in FTX regions is that airports are already enhanced in those regions. FTX AU was the very first "region" from Orbx & as such falls behind the quality of subsequent regions (even though it far exceeds fsx default AU) I understand that there are no plans in the near future to revisit AU to give it a makeover. For that very reason it would be nice, in the short term, to do a makeover of some of the AU airfields previously mentioned.

If so I'd love to see some of the airstrips in Indonesia/Philippines and some of the other Pacific Island given the orbx touch. I do not see why not. The only limiting factor that I can think of is the object library. If we have the right buildings/hangars/control towers and what-not... then I see no reason why somebody would not step up and do an Asia pack or a Middle East pack or a Central/South America pack, or whatever the case may be. Clearly I do not speak for ORBX but that would seem the case to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Harrell Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 KCOS is probably not going to happen because of 1) two decent freeware sceneries already exist, 2) size of airport, and 3) I know someone who is working on a very nice payware version, albeit it won't be released for several months yet. KAFF is intriguing, though, as I lived just south of the Academy for 8 years. Good times; great flyovers. And I plan to update KAPA as new things have been added to the airport and my technique has become more refined since the scenery was released. Neil has an uncanny ability to make one raise his quality and standards. Cheers, Todd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
