Stillwater Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Over the last years I have visited a number of Orbx airports in reality. And I suspect, many of you have done that, too. That gave me an idea... let me start a little collection here: Someone posts a (real) photo of the airport in question. Community may guess, which place it is. Preferrably with a sim screenie of the same location. If the right answer is found within the next 3 days, the first one to get the correct one earns the right to post another and we go back to step 1. If no one gets the right answer or is not able to start the next round, I´ll jump in. Until I have no more and have to resign. Or book more travels... Here we go with the first one. Not too complicated I think. Have fun! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt McGee Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 That is also Olbia. I remember the port area from my beta testing! I probably have an advantage from beta testing lots of Orbx airports. The developers deserve all the credit for making such accurate airports. They look like the real thing! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am unsure if you would want to post a new question for us, Matt - for the time being I´ll share something else. Routined Orbx flyers will know it quickly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
