April 2, 200917 yr Is there a good payware or freeware version of Amsterdam Schiphol for FSX?RobOut of curiosity, what are the shortcomings of the default? Is Polderbaan not modeled? Jeff Bea I am an avid globetrotter with my trusty Lufthansa B777F, Polar Air Cargo B744F, and Atlas Air B748F.

April 3, 200917 yr For anyone who knows (i.e. you're familiar with the airport), what is not modeled in the stock? The stock FSX airport is one of the "high detail" airports, so I am curious what is missing (a runway, a terminal?).

(coming in from sugol, or river)Normally payware add so much more to the pilot approach feeling of being there :-) André

(coming in from sugol, or river)Normally payware add so much more to the pilot approach feeling of being there :-)Hi, yes, I've been around FS for a long time and have spent more money than I should have over the years on all manner of add-ons including airport sceneries. I find that I am somewhat happy with many of the default "high detail" airports, but I've never visited many of these in real life and can't tell how inaccurate they are compared to the real deal. Generally, I think the "high-detail" airports in FSX are close enough and tend to be somewhat frame-rate friendly. There is no question that a great payware version would be more visually stunning, but the price is often paid not only in currency but also in frame-rates. I also realize that several of the default high-detail FSX airports are aleady out of date (LEMD, KSEA and ZBAA come to mind).

April 4, 200917 yr I always fly cargo, so I am disappointed with the lack of detail by any of the default airports. flying around addon airport scenery made by quality companies just makes us spoiled I guess. All the correct buildings, parking, vehicles, atmosphere, etc. It's all there. Not with default. Looking forward to EHAM from Aerosoft
