August 7, 201114 yr Hello. I am looking for suggestions for some European airports to add to my collection. I am particularly looking for payware but if there is a freeware one I am missing out on, please let me know. More specifically, my ideal airports are large hubs, HQ graphics, good FPS, typically bad weather with AES support. Anything in Eastern Europe would be great so I can see some of the more exotic AI I have installed but I know I lack coverage in France and Germany. Furthermore, I only need one major airport in each country for the most part because I do not intend to do domestic European flights. Here is what I already have covered: EIDW, EGKK, EGLL, EBBR, EPWA, LOWW, LSZH, LEMD, LPPT, LXGB, LEIB, LTBA, LGAV, LCPH. I am really surprised that there is nothing for LIRF out there. Here is what I have my eye on Mega Airport Paris Charles de Gaulle X - SimWings Mega Airport Frankfurt X Mega Airport Paris Orly AEROSOFT ONLINE - MEGA AIRPORT BUDAPEST How are these on quality and FPS? CDG scares me because the default is a FPS hog for me with all the AI running.

August 7, 201114 yr I would suggest Munich EDDM. It is Germany's second largest airport delivering many world wide destinations. It has lot of details including taxiway bridges over highways. Train and vehicle traffic is also simulated. Located not far from the northern Alps EDDM approaches from southern directions are an eye-catcher. IMO EDDM is a must. regards Harry - Harry 9800x3D (Strix x870e-E) - 64GB RAM (DDR5 6000, CL 30) - RTX 5090, 34'' 1440p OLED HDR - Windows 11 Pro (1TB M.2) - MSFS 2024 (MS Store, 4TB M.2).
August 7, 201114 yr Author Mega Airport Munich? It does look nice. Thanks for the suggestion. So, if I was going to have one airport in Germany, it would be Munich over Frankfort? Any other suggestions? I will buy more than one but I don't want to get one that is so-so.

Hi Jeff I would pick Munich is one of the newest scenery its really fantastic and great on frame rates CDG is very very frame rate heavy I do not recommend.

August 7, 201114 yr Aerosoft Frankfurt is not very up-to-date. Taxiways have been renamed in the real world, and 07L/25R has been renamed 07C/25C since the last update to the scenery. I'd pick Munich instead. Tom Risager NGX tutorial: http://library.avsim.net/sendfile.php?Location=AVSIM&Proto=ftp&DLID=162360 SIDs & STARs Worked Examples: LOWI-UUDD, KSEA-KLAX, EKCH-ENGM, YSCB-YPAD
August 8, 201114 yr Author Well I am about 1 hour out of my first flight from EDDM to LGAV (FT, of course). Thanks for the great suggestion. I almost did EDDF since I had it for FS9 but I thought I would pop in for some advice before I whipped out the CC. Glad I asked before I bought. I needed something new in this area because I needed a companion airport for LGAV where an A321 flight would make sence that was in the 2 hour range and was not Swiss or Austrian (just don't dig those liveries). Also, I needed a under 10 hour flight to some of the FW African stuff I installed last week. Am I just making excuses to buy more scenery? BTW, still looking for something great in Eastern Europe.
