lolopilote Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Hello. After having done Canary islands for X-Plane 11, it would be perfect to have the beautiful Madeira islands with its special airport for landings. The GCLA-LPMA Las Palmas - Funchal flight would be superb with the Orbx scenery of both islands. Are other X-Plane users as interested as I am? Orbx must not forget that there are still a lot of virtual pilots who did not switch to MSFS2020 and will remain faithful to X-Plane for its immense qualities which will still improve on X-Plane 12. Good flights to all. Lolopilote 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradB Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Welcome to the forum mate , I like your idea . Cheers John BTW - you might want to adjust your signature , it needs to be tightened up a bit . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle2504 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I can only welcome this suggestion! Anyone who, like me, has been visiting this beautiful island regularly for thirty years, appreciates the topography and the always exciting approach to LPMA. I hope the product developers at Orbx have a heart for our cause and the still best simulator - x-plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolopilote Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 Hello Orbx fans. Since EAgle2504's reply of 28 July 2021, not much has changed. Do the people at Orbx who decide what scenes to produce look at the forum and the aspirations of the simmers? I've bought a lot of Orbx products since FSX and P3D and I wonder about the choice of sceneries. I deplore the fact that there is almost nothing on the level of Orbx or FlyTampa (Corfu for example) for Madeira and also the regretted (for the simmers, not for the travellers ;-) ) Kai Tak VHXX airport. It was already incredible to make a landing there on P3D, so I imagine on X-Plane. So, how do we try to convince the professionals to do these two sceneries which are a huge challenge to fly when the weather is bad. The immersion would be really extraordinary if we had realistic scenery (especially in Madeira where you have to skim the the coast of the island to land on runway 05). Now that I own a small house in this jewel of the Atlantic, I go there regularly and it's just a pleasure to go to the airport to see the landings. If there is a problem with the financial return of these projects, I don't think I'm the only one who would be willing to pay to get that sceneries. I hope that our suggestions will be heard by the decision makers at Orbx or other scenery creators, and I wish you all a great flight on our fantastic simulator.

Lolopilote Traduction by DeepL It was mentioned on another thread that although developers sometimes take into considerations requests like these, often the airports chosen are airports the developers want to do, bearing in mind a lot of products on here are through 3rd parties or indi devs, so I would think only the airports created by Havant studios are chosen by Orbx, but how the studio decides which airports, I don't know. That being said I would a Orbx LPMA (personally for MSFS) Edited January 14, 2022 by EasternT3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
