EGDV (Hullavington - went solo there two years ago :))

EGHA (Compton Abbas - love the hilltop location)

EGDY (RNAS Yeovilton - live a few miles away, grown up watching the a/c and am currently working with museum there :))

EGHP (Popham - always drive past it on the A303 and see the AN-2 there)

EGUO (Colerne - flown out of there in a grob tutor as a cadet many times!)

EGDC (Chivenor - Amazing approach over the beach or across the river)

That's all from me :)

Alex

Further to mine...

EGHC - Lands End - looks like a nice little place

EGOD - Llanbedr Airfield - Nice and close to Snowdonia

EGOV - Angelsey - Again, right on the footsteps on Snowdonia (and somewhere for all of the Top Guns to fly from/into ;) )

A great opportunity for a bit of customer research!

My list:

EGHA Compton Abbas

EGHP Popham

EGLS Old Sarum Airfield

EGTK Kidlington / London Oxford

EGHH Bournemouth

EGHN Sandown Isle of White

EGHJ Bembridge Isle of White

EGHD Plymouth

EGSU Duxford

EGTD Dunsfold

EGYD Cranwell

EGDJ Upavon

EGNS Isle of Man

EGHE St Mary's

And no 15? Whichever you want to surprise me with!

Rob

First the list then I feel we need to enlighten people.

Airports that are already available and a complete waste of time Orbx doubling up on, here is the list from your lists above.

EGHI Southampton = UK2000 in the making

EGHH Bournemouth =UK2000 in the making

Thank you for your enlightenment. In response I would say:

a) I would buy an Orbx Bournemouth

b ) The UK2000 version of Bournemouth and the UK2000 version of Southampton have both been "in the making" for nearly five years now with no real sign of them ever arriving. The site currently estimates their arrival in "2013/14". First to market may well clean up.....

EGOY West Freugh (Scotland)

Great place to start a flight and then fly over the amazing lowlands of Scotland. You'll have the whole of the Galloway region to explore; before either turning south to Carlisle or north to Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Would also be great for trips to Belfast or the Isle of Man :D .

Cheers

Norwich Airport in the county of Norfolk.

Small. International connections to Amsterdam, flights to the Channel Islands and several UK destinations as well as the weekly Holiday to the sun departures.

I first flew from there in the 1970s, when the terminal was a portacabin and the "fleet" comprised of a couple of DC3 Dakotas. Happy days. It would be great to see Norwich depicted properly in FSX!

EGCB Barton

EGLF Farnborough (with airshow variation à la YMAV?)

EGFH Swansea

EGTD Dunsfold

EGSH Norwich

Hopefully these give a nice spread around the UK, to go along with the existing airfields already made in the south of England.

I have no interest in any RAF/WWII/Retro/historical airfields.

Thanks

Hope we make the 200, 'cos this is a great idea.

OK, my top 15 - bit of local (well to my parents as I live in China) bias, but ...

EGNJ Humberside (got to include the quarry, and you've already got some good PoIs with the Humber Bridge and Immingham)

EGPD Aberdeen Dyce

EGSP Sibson

EGNL Barrow

EGTD Dunsfold (Top Gear track and that 747 with the weird engine pods)

EGXW RAF Waddington (in current form)

EGSF Peterborough Conington

EGSH Norwich

EGXP Scampton (home of the Red Arrows)

EGEO Oban

EGTH Old Warden

EGPI Islay

EGCF Sandtoft

EGCB Barton

And my last one is RAF historical, could be done as a Lincolnshire WWII bomber base or (my preference) as a 1960's-70's Cold War base and (as per a previous suggestion) now closed to avoid confusion:

EGXB Binbrook

Byron

I would not do airfields that have already been done by UK2000 to "Extreme" level. Makes no sense. I have some and they work just fine. Same for Duxford. The available freebie is excellent and works very well with ORBX.

EGSU Duxford

EGLF Farnboruogh

WWII airfields: RAF-Horham

This airfield, now decommissioned and turned into a farm, was the spot from which my grandfather navigated B-17 bombers during 1943. He flew a total of 50 missions from England and Italy, in both the 8th and 15th air forces, between 1943 and 1945. While in Italy, he was most likely escorted by the Tuskegee Airmen, and recieved a flak injury, giving him a Silver Star and a Purple Heart. I fly remote controlled aircraft, and am working on a 1/18 scale electric version of one of my grandfather's aircraft. Sadly, he passed away when I was three, so I did not get to talk to him about the war and his experiences. I have done countless hours of research, and I would love to see he first base made by the best scenery developers for FSX.

EGNC - Carlisle

EGNL - Barrow / Walney Island

EGFH - Swansea

Non ICAO - Peterlee

..... sorry there aren't 15 but the above are a great selection of small and medium sized airfields across the UK, and represent those that are generally not represented well by existing payware or freeware.

Hi there!

My votes go out to:

EGXW - RAF Waddington (Lincolnshire) as it is the home of the E-3D...(been there... ;D )

EGUL - RAF Lakenheath Home of the F-15 in Europe...!

EGUN - RAF Mildenhall Home of the KC-135 in Europe...which kept us aloft during many air-air refuellings!

Cheers

Why EGSC? - former hometown, home of Marshalls, can cater for SR22 to B747, only ever managed to do some jogging around the field but never any touch 'n goes, so would love this opportunity in FS with some rendition of the town...

One more idea that I really think will have some real mileage. I have been comparing FTX England with some of my other scenery and on the whole FTX wins hands down. Admitted I would love to see Portscatho in the right place but I knew the scenery limitations before I bought it and I really am happy with it. However FTX does not compare in any way shape or form to my ESI Isles of Scilly scenery and I really think ORBX could be on to a winner if you were to take a good look at it.

So my one last suggestion for add on payware scenery would be EGHE St Mary's, Isles of Scilly, Tresco heliport and indeed the whole island group. It isn't big but it would be clever.

EGHE St Mary's

EGHT Tresco heliport

Bishops Rock lighthouse

Wolf Rock lighthouse

Plus the Isles of Scilly area.

Cheers

Phil F
