February 19, 201412 yr I know the Northern California scenery was just released, but here is an interesting question. For those of you familiar with the area, if you had your choice, which airports would you like released? My vote would be for Half Moon Bay (KHAF). For many years, this has been one of my favorite places. Happy Flying.
February 21, 201412 yr Gnoss Field (KDVO) in Novato. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
February 21, 201412 yr My vote would be for Half Moon Bay (KHAF). For many years, this has been one of my favorite places. As mentioned in another thread, I think you'll get your wish as KHAF is already on the schedule. They'd originally said January, but that was when NorCal was also set for January. Scott Edit: Should also mention that KSQL (San Carlos) is also on the roadmap for '14. S. Edited February 21, 201412 yr by tttocs
February 21, 201412 yr Dear lord...so many to choose from. Half Moon Bay is a great choice. Clearly, I'd have to suggest Arcata. Monterey would be amazing (right on the *edge* of the area). Concord would be cool right there by the water. Charles Shultz...Stockton...Napa.. Maybe I'm the wrong guy to ask. LOL. Gregg Gregg Seipp "A good landing is when you can walk away from the airplane.

February 22, 201412 yr Author I think you'll get your wish as KHAF is already on the schedule. Thanks for the response. This is indeed good news. Also, I see that on Orbx's Preview Screenshots, they show what looks like a wonderful verson of Redding (KRDD) is in development. Indeed a good choice on the part of Orbx. One of my favorite flights is to go from Klamath Falls (KLMT) to Reading. Wonderful views of Mt. Shasta along the route. Happy Flying.
February 22, 201412 yr Redding is an excellent choice. I looked at the previews...there's a train. I have no idea why that is so appealing to me to see a train on the scenery but i wonder how that would affect the feeling of reality to see trains from time to time on the countryside. Trains and steeples (like on churches and stuff) were on my list of things I thought would make the FSX world cooler.

February 22, 201412 yr KCCR Concord, but they've already done a VERY good job with it ... so maybe KTVL (South Lake Tahoe) would be one I'd like to see.
February 22, 201412 yr These are some nice little airports that could be done. First choice would probably be Shelter Cove. Shelter Cove Oceanridge Schelleville Eureka-Murray Boonville Little River San Carlos Anqwin Petaluma I live in Napa, so i am familiar with some of the local area airports. A few years ago I took some pictures of Petaluma hangars for Neil over at Orbx, tho I think those were for generic T hangars.

February 22, 201412 yr Also, I see that on Orbx's Preview Screenshots, they show what looks like a wonderful verson of Redding (KRDD) is in development. Indeed a good choice on the part of Orbx. I'd missed this - thanks for pointing it out. With a second airport and most of the city modeled as well - impressive, and a good location. Redding is an excellent choice. I looked at the previews...there's a train. I have no idea why that is so appealing to me to see a train on the scenery but i wonder how that would affect the feeling of reality to see trains from time to time on the countryside. The train is static in this case, but I agree it's very welcome. Jarrad Marshall, the developer, modeled the rail yard near KSFF in Spokane pretty extensively as well. Scott

February 25, 201412 yr A very nice list, John, with a couple of pleasant surprises. A nice mix of small and medium sized fields. Enjoying NCA and looking forward to many of these detailed fields. Scott
February 25, 201412 yr I have an emotional connection to KSQL, I soloed there years ago. Also KPAO. Somewhere I never flew to but in the scenic Sierras, is Truckee, KTKF. Also KTVL Lake Tahoe (near the border of NV). (I got married in Tahoe ) .... Bruce. ASEL, Instrument. KBJC, Colorado.
February 25, 201412 yr That is a very nice list. Arcata, Half Moon Bay, Monterey. Can't argue with KSLQ. Might have to hope for Napa sometime but that's a good list.

February 25, 201412 yr KFAT - Fresno Yosemite International Airport. I grew up less than 3 miles from the northwest of this airport. In 6th grade I called the Air National Guard 144th FW and scheduled a tour of the facilities and planes for my class. If I come across the pictures of me and friends standing by F-106s I might scan and post. Keith Guillory
