ORBX Airport Recomendations

Featured Replies

I allready got it and love it but a 737?! Might this not be a bit too big?
5,000 ft runway. Maybe with a very strong headwind. LOL.gifMaybe YMML is better.

They are all very nicely done, you cant go wrong really. If you do decide to grab an australian one though DONT buy YBBN, for some reason its way more hungry on FPS

I've used it a bunch of times with the 600/700 and 800. I haven't used the 900 there, as I only fly 90 minute or less sorties from there. Obviously, this isn't a MTOW runway, but with careful fuel and pax/cargo loading, it is certainly safely achievable.
I would start with Harvey and Skagit. They are superb.Get them all if you can
Get them all? I think buying the gifts of the "Twelve Days of Christmas" might be cheaper!Has anyone figured out what the cost of buying ALL of (today's) ORBX products would be? Money%20Eyes.gif

With the current sale, roughly 33% cheaper than next week.... :(

The smaller 737s should be able to handle a runway 5000 feet in length. That was the length of the old runway at Madeira Funchal, and 737s visited that airport on a regular basis.

kiki, Anacortes 74S is spectacular, but because of its proximity to Skagit, the couple together put some load on the frames.So my recommendation, if you cannot buy the whole set of NA airfields, is to buy either Anacortes or Skagit and another airport a bit farther away, like Orcas or Jefferson or Harvey.
Thanks for your answer, Naji. I value your opinions high, so I took Skagit and put the money I was intended to put on Anacortes to Central Rockies.

Touché !!

About AU$1250. Give or take.

Arnie....if it ain't broke, don't fix it...

You are most welcome, kiki. And thank you kindly for your words.
