Aerosoft Lisbon very frame friendly for a "mega airport" and it's fun to get in and out of.That Said I think Kai Tak by Fly Tampa is my favorite airport/scenery, all of Hong Kong Island looks spectacular.

if you're from the uk, then you should try the UK2000 sceneries which are even more frame friendlykai tak is a great add-on but i find it's hard to find places to fly to kai tak that are within a few hours and also have good scenery. i prefer to fly in the us because of the abundance of documentation. so far my favourite is probably FSDT's KLAS

If I had to choose one: FTX Concrete.If you ask what are your favorite, there are about 10 airports that I love, starting with Fly Tampa's St. Maarten, FSDreamteam KFLL, and most of my ORBX airports.

The UK 2000 'Manchester Extreme' (i.e EGCC in the UK) is my favourite FSX add-on airport. I am of course biased, because the real airport is just up the road from me and my favourite airport in real life too, being that amongst other things, it is where the most famous Concorde (G-BOAC) now lives, but the UK 2000 version of it is certainly great, and it's good on frame rates too.A close second would be Latin VFR's Toncontin (i.e MHTG in Honduras), because I think the RNAV approach into there where you turn at the last second to avoid the mountains is one of the most fun things you can do in FSX. i.e. this approach:

Hi,Well, I would have to say KJFK in New York. Aside from the fact that FSDreamTeam did an excellent job on the airport itself, the Parkway Visual into 13R or 13L at dusk is just incredible.

HiAI: How does UK2000 xtreme effect on your FPS? I have tried the demo version. Both Heathrow and Gatwick do have much higher FPS than Mega Airport's ones. I'm thinking to get one. :( Mike:Im trying to get one from FSDT as well. They are all just work of art. Considering the prices they are bit expensive. :( Have a try the demo first.DJ: St. Martin is a beautiful one!level_7:Kai Tak fron Flytampa is great, but I found it have on FPS especially on PMDG747XPINGPONG: It's a bit confuse if the weather is bad when you're landing especially after long hual. :(

HelloYou cannot go wrong with UK2000

Mingo County, Williamson, WV (4I0). Best to come in over Ohio and point easterly, the west approach has got to clear some hills and there's not much room for error since it's a steep fall from either side.There's more to flying than hitting a big slab of asphalt or concrete... :( Runs off and hides from the slings and arrows of the "Heavy Metalers".

Can't say how other UK 2000 airport sceneries run, as I only have EGCC from them, but that one I do know runs pretty well on my system, which is no rocket ship incidentally. Of course how something runs on one computer is no guarantee of how it will run on a different one, but I'm certainly happy with how it performs, and so I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it, particularly since it also happens to be about the only decent Manchester Airport scenery you can get for FSX, so it's kind of that one or nothing anyway.If you suspected your system would struggle with London airports such as Heathrow in FSX and you want to fly airline flights to and from the UK, then Manchester is a good choice, since it is the fourth busiest airport in the UK, which means it is busy enough to be interesting, but not so busy as to be a frame rate hog. Similarly, Birmingham would be a good choice, which UK 2000 also make scenery for, since that's the next busiest UK airport after Manchester. Stansted would be another decent choice, since UK 2000 also do scenery for there, and it is close to London but a major hub for low cost airlines such as Ryanair, which has a massive presence there, so it's a decent airport if you wanted to do a lot of European flights with 737s, which is probably going to be something many people will be interested in when that PMDG 737NGX is released.Al

I like the UK2000 Scenery airports, (I have Gatwick, Manchester and Heathrow), and I also like Cloud9 Orlando! For best freeware airport, I like Jim Vile's Atlanta, as well as his Kai-Tak!! There are other nice freeware airports as well.

Come to think of it, I have another favourite airport in FSX, and that's a freeware one - Talagi airport at Archangel in Northern Russia (ICAO code is ULAA). You can find that, as well as accompanying scenery for the nearby town of Archangel on the knock off Russian 'avsim' site. The scenery includes lots of nice details, such as animated birds and it is particularly interesting for having been an old MiG-25 base, so it has a long military runway with an interesting paved texture, even though it is now more of a commercial airport these days and gets Aeroflot commercial jets flying into there. Well worth a look, especially since it is free. There are some other good freebie Russian airports on that site too, including Sheremetyevo at Moscow. Sheremetyevo to Talagi is a good medium range flight too incidentally, perfect for the freeware Tupolevs you can get for FSX, and if you pick the right time of year and do the trip at night, you'll probably see the Aurora Borealsis, which is actually really well simulated in FSX and well worth checking out.Al

ST maarten by FlyTampa :( best airport ever!

I like how you think. Personally I attempt to find new airports to land at on almost every flight I take, which is why I won't spend money on airport specific scenery, but will download freeware stuff, one of the best if Victoria+ . That said, the one exception I did make for payware airport scenery is Tongass Fjords, but that is much more than just airport scenery.Just checked, and I've landed at over 500 airports in FSX, the only one I have landed at more than 5 times is my home base KLPR (Lorain County) which is about 25-35 minutes west of where I live; 34 landings/43 take-offs. Got quite a few I've landed at 2-4 times, but most have only been used once....then take-off to go find another new adventure, and a new airport.I'll make a point of finding WV 410
