January 12, 201412 yr Does anyone know of any good scenery that's free that a 777 can get into and out off. Don't mind a challenge as it can be a bit more fun. Many thanks Rob
January 12, 201412 yr I find your topic title a bit troubling. Are you perhaps asking if anyone knows of a payware "quality" airport available as freeware? This would make more sense and probably keep your topic from being deleted. Thank you.

January 12, 201412 yr Thanks. That's what I had hoped you meant to say. All is good. Thank you. Rick $Silver Donor EAA 1317610 I7-7700K @ 4.5ghz, MSI Z270 Gaming MB, 32gb 3200, Geforce RTX2080 Super O/C, 28" Samsung 4k Monitor, Various SSD, HD, and peripherals
January 12, 201412 yr The ones that come to mind: UK2000 have free versions of all of their airports KPHL - by sun sky jet KONT - Not sure who the author is KXNA - Not sure who author is Barbados scenery - Google it KHQM - by ORBX 5,000ft runway for a challenge ants aussie scenery - google for great scenery of Australia Hope that gives you some ideas Ryan L.
January 13, 201412 yr another +1 for KPHL SunSkyJet http://www.sunskyjet.com/ If they were selling it for $25 I'd still be reccomending it, but the fact that it is free just makes it all the more amazing. --------------------------------------------------------- Another scenery I absolutely adore is "the Netherlands" by NL2000 http://www.nl-2000.com/nuke/ This doesn't come with EHAM unfortunately, but you still get a great payware quality (but freeware) version of EHRD, and EHEH and EHGG and EHBK. A bit tight for a 777 perhaps (runway is fine, apron's a bit tight), but perfect for the NGX. ------------------------------------------------------- If you do not have ORBX's Brisbane, you may be interested in "Ants Aussie Airports: YBBN v1.01" http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/topic/10093-ants-airports-ybbn-brisbane-v101/ Not quite as texture heavy as the Orbx version, this will result in better fps and less VAS usage. The airport is still quite acceptable to look at. Plenty of 777's visit Brisbane in real life, and it is capable of receiving A380 aircraft too. ------------------------------------------------------- Ants Aussie also made several other smaller airports around Australia that include: YPDN Darwin, YPTN Tindal, YBHM Hamilton Island, YBNA Ballina to name a few that are very fun. YPDN is a full international airport. Tindal is an RAAF base with a small Civillian apron as a shared runway, Ballina is used daily by A320 and B737 aircraft, Hamilton island too recieves 737 and A320 aircraft daily. Ants Aussie Airports can be found at http://www.antsairplanes.com/scenery.html -------------------------------------------------------- Just a little south of Brisbane is the Gold Coast airport, which receives a daily 777-200ER from Scoot Airlines in real life. This single-runway airport has no ILS approaches, only VOR & RNAV's. One of the Standard Terminal Arrival Route's (STAR) from the south actually end in visual approaches.

January 13, 201412 yr Nothing else equals SunSkyJets KPHL (Philadelphia Intl). And it includes a great deal of highly accurate scenery extending in some cases to 5NM beyond the airport perimeter. I lived in Philadelphia and still travel through there often and SunSkyJet nailed it. At the point I captured these screen shots I had absolutely no other scenery installed for this area. So what you see is solely from SunSkyJet. Even the vast parking garages and surrounding hotel districts are in their scenery. Even a bridge across the Delaware river and adjacent professional soccer field almost 7 nm out from the approach to 09R and 09L. Those are key visual cues for visual approaches. There is also a very good freeware KDCA Washington, DC, Reagan Intl airport out there, but I forget the source.

Don't mean to be a n3rd, but NL2000 covers a 41500km² area and 4 main airports, 2 airbases and numerous smaller airports. I do adore the SunSkyJet scenery and can't wait till they release their next scenery which I believe is Detroit. It's truly great detailed scenery that actually beats several payware developers for quality and detail. But that NL2000 stuff just has my heart for how detailed it really is. And the fact that it is an entire country! Trent Hopkinson, 2015 Crewmember of www.mangrove.com.au WorldFlight sim Youtube channel www.youtube.com/user/musicalaviator

January 13, 201412 yr ???????? Isn't Payware payware and Freeware freeware? Same here, I don't get the rant. The OP did include "Quality" in the topic. Reik Namreg
January 13, 201412 yr The Philadelphia one is fantastic. Ants Australia is good too. Not sure where it is, I think on flightsim but the main airport in Mauritius, ICAO: FIMP is really good too. Just flew there, one of the runways has a challenging approach too. Nice scenery for the whole island. Steven Herzberg, "I rather be flying"
January 13, 201412 yr This doesn't come with EHAM unfortunately Not yet... http://www.nl-2000.com/nuke/modules.php?name=gallery2&g2_itemId=11642 "If you can't solve and equation with calculus, you're not using enough calculus" - A wise friend
