Which Airports will accompany my current ones.

Recommended Posts

Guest acezboy561

With my $60 pending into PayPal (expected to come in on 05OCT), Im looking for some airports to get. Im not intrested in aircrafts as, well the NGX is taking up a fair bit of my flying time, so keep that in mind :) My list of airports is extensive, so ill list the main ones:Orbx YMML, YSCB, YBBN, YPMQFlyTampa KBUF, TNCMFSDreamTeam KDFW, Hawaii Airports 2 (finishing up the writing of the review for AVSIM tonight!)FlightBeam KSFO So really anything that is within 1hr-1.5hr between those airports is what im looking for.A short list that im considering is;Orbx YBCSFSDreamTeam KLAX (a bit worried due to the high price - $39AUD for an airport is not resonable IMHO)FlyTampa KBOS, KMDW So yeah, Id also get some AES credits if I do get any FlyTampa/FSDreamTeam airports with the left over money (with them 20% off). Let me know what airports you guys like, support the NGX, and are near my current ones!

Well considering you have KSFO and KDFW, KLAX would indeed be a very good airport to get. Flights to KSFO and KDFW are relatively short, and it's all nice terrain too. You might also want to consider FSDT KLAS, since that's also rather nicely placed between KDFW and KSFO. Since you have FlyTampa KBUF, FlyTampa KMDW would also be a good airport, since it's not too far away, same goes for KBOS. You might also consider FSDT KJFK. I have done KJFK-KBUF lots of times and really like that route. The added benefit of KJFK is also that it's in a more central location than KBOS, so you'll find more airports in close proximity to KJFK than to KBOS. Hope that helps a bit. All airports you mentioned are really good though, although my preference goes to FSDT KLAX and FlyTampa airports. As for OrbX: while I have my of their airports, I generally don't use them as much as I'd probably want to. FPS is almost always a problem, and I don't like how they use photo scenery to make the taxiway and runway surfaces. Heck, at Coffs Harbour I get lower FPS than at FSDT's KLAX, with pretty much the same settings!

I'd go with FSDT's KLAX as well. I know it's more than what you would like to spend, but you could always cut back on a few things to make up for the extra price. Like Ben, I own a bunch of ORBX stuff for both AU and NA and frankly none of it evers sees the light of day so to speak, mostly just because I dont have any real interest in AU, plus like Ben said I cant stand the way they do the ground textures using the photoreal, and I am not really all that interested in the log cabins, barking dogs and falling leaves the PNW offers.

Thanks for your suggestions. I actually do use the Orbx AU stuff, as well, im from AUS but born in NZ :) Thats why id be looking at YBCS and then AU RED (to get YBAS when it comes out) as then I have alot of short hops I can fly from. And at YBBN, I can get 18-22FPS, with my settings at a reasonable level in the NGX - that doesnt bother me. FSDreamTeam KLAX- As I said, $39 for an airport is bit high, and Id only be able to get that at this time (with maybe AES credits). KFJK is also a good suggestion. FlyTampa- Again, no problems with them, only that the jetways dont move or anything like that. I was hoping for some more peoples input aswell (not that yours wasnt any good!), but thats not too late, as my money hasnt come through just yet.
