Jack Sawyer Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Not a stupid question, I live in the USA so I know it very well. The UK, not at all. What I'd love to see is someone make a list of all the Orbx airports in the UK and where they fall in Orbx's new TE areas. Like so and so airport is in South, or Central, or North. If anyone could do that for me I would very much appreciate it. Thanks and happy new year folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Hello Jack, a Happy New Year to you too. You could make your own list by taking a look in the 05 folder for each part and seeing the ICAO codes contained in each one. Until someone comes along and gives you a list, of course.

Thanks Nick. I have everything Orbx makes. I was focusing on P3D. So it would be a list of all the P3D airports ORBX makes and what P3D TE area they would belong to. It would really simplify planning ORBX to Orbx flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Thanks Jack. All the EGxx airports are in TEGB South except: EGPH Edinburgh EGPB Sumburgh Which are in TEGB North and of course EGJA which is in its own micro-region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stiletto2 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Hi Jack, See below for my list of Orbx Payware Airports in the UK. (Note: This list only applies to P3Dv4 as XP11 also includes two additional Orbx Payware airports for TEGB Central (XP11): EGCB Manchester City and Heliport (Barton) as well as EGNM Leeds both of which have not yet been ported to P3Dv4 for TEGB Central (P3Dv4). Orbx Payware Airports in the UK (P3Dv4) TEGB North contains EGPB Sumburgh & EGPH Edinburgh Orbx Payware Airports TEGBCentral contains no Orbx Payware Airports TEGB South contains the following 14 Orbx Payware Airports: at this time EGCW Welshpool EGFF Cardiff (must own EU Wales Orbx Payware Region to get this airport for P3Dv4) EGHA Compton Abbas EGHI Southampton EGHP Popham EGHR Chichester/Goodwood EGKA Shoreham (Brighton) EGLC London City EGML Damyns Hall EGNX East Midlands EGSG Stapleford EGTF Fairoaks EGTH Old Warden EGTR Elstree I did not include EGJA Alderney which is technically not part of the UK but is part of the Bailiwicks of Guernsey which is a British Crown Dependencywith their own indepndent administration. Alderney is part of the Channel islands and is about 90 miles southwest of EGHI Southampton. Hope this helps. Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Colbert Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 @Jack Sawyer Try this...it’s helped me a lot for flight planning betwixt Orbx airports - and you can spot likely places where any competing payware airports or “enhanced freeware” creations might be lurking as good departure or arrival points. It doesn’t list Southern, Central or North, but I just eyeball that as all 3 are installed. Hope this helps and thank you @Joerg Picard for the map.

John Heaton Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Jack - Happy New Year - and great to know how interested you are in my place of birth so many years ago - and Orbx gives me the chance to visit it - now and again without the help of Qantas and 10000 miles of travel https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1oMki4fAslLZKQiCQIn2fNSvvzG0&ll=3.397989159646891%2C141.5603175000001&z=3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airports_in_the_United_Kingdom_and_the_British_Crown_Dependencies (run the cursor over each place - or county(state) name for description and photo) Just in case you have never seen it - above also - is a map of all WW Orbx Airports - and the UK ones are shown Others have given you lists of all the major airports - but If I may say it -- Just about ALL the non pay ware airports in all the TE Britain sections are quite well done - in both PD3 and and XP = (IE unless you want to get a cup of tea or a kwik visit to a facility) One airport I use regularly - and not given in the lists is - Blackpool (EGN) - where I lived during the war years - Home of the Blackpool tower (and the Orbx quality can be seen in these screen shots) - It's a good base for short flights around some of the best areas of the Central section IE the Lake district -(EGNC) - ie Ian Emms area - --- Liverpool/ North Wales (Mona EGOV) - and an across the sea trip to the Isle of Mann.(EGNS) Use the Southhampton payware(EGHI) - or TE South - ( Lee on Solent for Portsmouth Naval Docks) - and go East to Dover - or West along the South Coast to Lands End (EGHC) for a great rendition and I use Norwich (EGSH) for a fly over the Norfolk coast line and the Norfolk Broads. Needless to say _ I could go on forever advising you where to go - but in summary - anywhere you fly in Orbx PD3 or XP TE UK versions will be great but Jack - fly low and slow - forget your big cigar tubes - TE Britain is designed for VFR There is a Google Map that shows every airfield in the UK tthat I use - and somehow I got it via XP - maybe https://x-plane.cleverest.eu/ (PS Zoom both S/shots for Orbx detail) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Low Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 That is exactly how I like to do it, Jack. Low and slow in the PMDG 737 NGX is a great way to enjoy the view when flying around the UK.

Jack Sawyer Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 Thanks John. It might be several days as I have a lot going on right now. I no longer have a large fleet. Just OMDG, A2A, the RealAir Duke and Lancair, a couple of helps, and MV’s F-100? I think it’s the F-100. I recently uninstalled several dozen planes I didn’t think were realistic enough, my own opinion. As for a 737 over the Gills or Mach Loop, they should be aware that I have sophisticated jamming technology on board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
