Looking to expand my payware airports. Currently only have Orbx England so all the airports here are covered nicely. I want to start doing some longer haul flights out of the UK to somewhere about 7-8 hours out in the 777. Not bothered about real world routes, I just want your opinions on some good payware airports.

 

I'm not interested in Dubai or JFK!

Taxi2gate LTBA or for the US FlightBeam KIAD

I cannot speak for any of FlightBeam's stuff but it looks really good and when I get back from my training in a few months I plan on purchasing them. I do, however, own FlyTampa KTPA, TNCM package, and Grenadines package and they are excellent quality. I also own FSDT PHNL, Hawaiian Airports Vol 1 and 2, KLAX, KDFW, and KFLL which are all very nice. Taxi2Gate KMCO is also an excellent choice. I also have LatinVFR KEYW, KMIA, and KSAN which I recommend as well. If you are looking for scenery outside of the US then UK2000 has great scenery for UK, Aerosoft has good scenery for various places in Europe and the US as well.

 

I know you said you don't care about real world routes but BAW does a flight from EGKK to KTPA in a 777 that I see everytime I drive by the airport so I would strongly recommend FlyTampa KTPA, but I might be a little biased since it is my home airport  :lol:.

Anything by FSDT is high quality and you cannot go wrong.

I have only bought a few myself.  FlyTampa's KTPA is my favorite followed by FlightBeam's KIAD.  I don't have any by FSDT but I hear that they're great.

To me, must have airports are the ones that modify the whole flying in/out of them because of non-normal procedures. Or airports that given their location have a special configuration... 

 

- Hong Kong Kai Tak

- Innsbruck

- Madeira

- Lukla

- Sint Marteen

 

Those would be "must-haves" for me. JFK, O'Hare, Charles de Gaulle or Heathrow are not must-have since the default airport is good enough.

Why not Dubai? It's a perfect 7 hours out from the UK and is as wonderful a scenery as you will see inside FSX. It really is absolutely stunning, especially at night.

LatinVFR KSAN. Personally, I love approach into the airport and BAW flies the 777 there too.

I have to agree with the Dubai recommendation. Dubai really is one stunning scenery.

cant go past flytampa ( omdb  and lgav  and loww)

I completely agree!!!! Is there a better airport/area out there??? It has incredible detail for not only the airport but the city too and the frame rates are excellent!!! I really can't think go any scenery that performs better than this and looks as great as this!! Best there is!?!?

I know St. Marteen but what developers make the others? 

 

EDIT: Nevermind I was able to find them. 

ORBX and FlyTampa are great ones =D

so is fsdreamteam

I love the ORBX AU stuff, mostly the airports around Brisbane. I'm really used to the surroundings, so I'm always flying around there. 

Although I don't have it, I say FlyTampa's Dubai is the best. Not a single angry customer.
