cabnz Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Yes they will, we'll likely bundle the existing packs into new installers that cater for V3. The priority of course is to do the core products (Global, Vector, OLC, Regions) first, then the airports, then freeware. Thank you for your reply John - and as mentioned, it's all very much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdguy Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Would it be out of line to publish a list of airports already in the queue? Those in the works and those on the waiting list? Sometime ago on one of these threads (maybe this one) I jumped in and asked for my home airport, Roswell NM (KROW). Someone replied it was already on the list. So I won't ask for it again...I know it's coming sometime. Or would such a list just open up another can of worms? Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripcord Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Noel, just my 2 rubles here but I think it would not be worth the effort. Neil has enough to do as it is, and there are a half-dozen guys that do these freeware airports. I have a handful in the works, and I don't mind sharing them, but I also take off on wild tangents to do some litle place that I wasn't planning to before. Plus I'm not the most talented of the bunch, by a long stretch, so my projects sometimes require a little more 'guidance' from Neil than some of the others -- the implication here is that it is very hard to say which get done and when. I will say that I have done one airport in NM already (KSRR) and I am very much interested in adding more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caaront Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 KMWL, Mineral Wells, Texas. One of the best small airports around. We are the only airport between Fort Worth and Abilene that can handle large corporate jets, etc... We have a lot of folks coming through there, and there is a huge heliport at the SE side, as Camp Wolters used to be the Primary helicopter training base for the flyers. There is a lot of history here, tons, read about Mineral Wells, check out some AP photos and I think you will be chomping at the bit. Thank you so much for your talent and consideration.

birdguy Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 A reasonable explanation Ripcord. And thank you for KSRR (Sierra Blanca). When I was till flying a decade ago we used to fly from Roswell to Sierra Blanca from time to time. In fact when the German Air Force used bring their Airbus to Roswell for training flights they would also fly up to KSRR. The FBO there has pictures of them. There are two Global airports for New Mexico now. Socorro was released a while ago. Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bermuda425 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Folks, may I ask you a question. How come that the fidelity/ detail of some static aircraft (e.g. those at 7Y2 Thompsonville or KMIV Millville) is higher than the detail of others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Hill Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Hi Bermuda, We have several static aircraft libraries to choose from. Some are more detailed that others. I generally use the less detailed, but wider choice library. It keeps the FPS up and keeps the dupes down. Cheers, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Hill Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Hi Folks, Lest anyone think I'm not paying attention to this thread....KSHD will be in Pack 25, Pack 24 contains KZZV, 42I and a group of 5 airports around 3W9 in West lake Erie that are done as a group, OH is well represented. Look for Pack 24 any day now. Cheers, Neil 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryisenor Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I check it too and have done a number of airports that have been requested. There are a couple in pack 24 that were requested here including CYMJ Moose Jaw and MMES Ensenada Mexico. I do a lot of others that I find interesting but requests let me have a look to see if I can do an airport (It's hard to check all 24000 world airport so your suggestions help) Larry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Robinson Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Has Ogden KOGD ever been suggested? Would that be doable? I've been following this Piper Meridian around on flightaware with my JetProp for 6 months, he's based out of Ogden and it could really use the FTXG treatment. Thanks for your consideration.

hwh86 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I keep asking for KOSH but it does not seem to be considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Hill Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Hi hwh83, Jim, Todd Harrell worked hard on KOSH but finally gave up, the photoreal was impossible to remove and it needed to be to make everything to look correct, I'm pretty sure that's what he told me. Jim, I looked at KOGD, 1) it is quite big but I could live with that but 2) it's proximity to Hill Air Force Base (which is too big to do reasonably) would detract from whatever I could accomplish at KOGD so I chose to let it go, sorry. Suggestions of smallish to medium sized airports (2 runways or less), especially in the midwest would be very welcome. Cheers, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Robinson Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 That sounds logical Neil, understood. Thanks a million for the ones you guys have already done so far, they really add a lot to the FS experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadlessHershel Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 This is my first request. I'm not sure if there are size limits to the airports included in the freeware packs, but I would really really like either KMDT- Harrisburg International (for an international it is quite small) and/or KCXY- Capital City Airport which is right across the river from KMDT and is more of the GA and Charter flight airport of the area. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote: KLGU is just up the road and is the prefect size, I hope to see this one make the list one day. Another nearby that could use love is KBTF. It may be too close to KSLC, but it is further away from Hill. And it's just a single strip. Getting the refineries/tanks in the area would be a huge help as well. They just put a fresh runway down too (with slightly new heading)... https://www.facebook.com/712899682138935/photos/pcb.867864446642457/867864259975809/?type=3&theater (It would also be nice if Vector had the roads on the north and south ends of the runway as they are larger than residential roads... but that's for another forum) Long term I'm honestly hoping for a region south of CRM that covers the area, down to Monument Valley, and over to the Denver area. But that'll definitely be a few years if it's ever done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Hill Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Hi guy's, Many good suggestions, I've got them all down. I've added KCXY and KBTF to Pack 25 (those will two keep me busy for awhile). Cheers, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvdboomen Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Although Belgium already has a great deal of enhanced airports, I miss two of them: EBLE (Sanicole) and EBKH (Keiheuvel). Sanicole has an annual airshow which is quiet huge and measures up with the bigger airshows in Europe. Keiheuvel is a personal wish because as a child, I use to hang around there all summer and occasionally pilots took me in the air with them.

tdavart Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) If these have already been mentioned, please disregard, but a few AK airports for those bush flyers would be wonderful: PAUN Unakaleet PABE Bethel PAOT Kotzebue Also there was a nice photoreal base for KOSH that was released that looks great and blends in very nicely with Orbx Global. I think it had a basic AFCAD with no parking and that was about it. Thanks for all that have been done!
