December 7, 201510 yr I have nearly all of his airports, including the VFR airfields, and agree that they are excellent. My only problem is that the airfield grass texture does not match well with ORBX FTX regions except in summer. In other seasons the different colour shade makes them stand out from the surrounding terrain in an unrealistic way. I do wish that Gary would modify the airports for seasonal compatibility with ORBX FTX sceneries so they completely blend (as sim720 has done with their airports. I am assuming that the ORBX customer base is now large enough that this is a reasonable expectation. I don't mean this to be negative as the airports are outstanding over FTX sceneries if you are flying in the summer.

December 7, 201510 yr Does this discount cover UK VFR Airfields v2? Been meaning to purchase them but been put off by the cost for all 3 volumes. ckyliu, proud supporter of ViaIntercity.com. i5 12400F, 32GB, RTX4070, more in "About me" on my profile.
December 7, 201510 yr Any chance Simmarket will have these on sale as well? I notice that the typical airport that is £16.99 at the UK2000 shop is £13.79 at Simmarket (please correct me if I am missing something). This is about a $5 price difference in USD, so if you buy four airports in order to get the 40% off, you are paying roughly $15 USD per airport, vs. $20 at Simmarket at regular price. If you buy less than four airports (for the 25% discount), then the sale price is fairly immaterial vs. Simmarket's regular price. I didn't realize there was such a large price difference between buying direct from the developer.

December 7, 201510 yr Usually they end up in Simmarket as well. These are well done and well working sceneries. I think I have to take the Heathrow this time as Aerosoft version is not compatible with FTX or something. It flickers and shows who knows what layers randomly. I fell for the hype after its arrival, UK2000 version seems to be without problems except of VAS issue.
December 7, 201510 yr Love this sale above all others, last year I purchased eight, Gary's work is top notch I hope to finish the collection this year. Stephen Asus Z170 Deluxe, 32 GB DDR4 Dominator Platinum, i7 6700k mild overclock, GTX Titan ( Pascal ) Win10

December 8, 201510 yr Thanks Chris, I didn't forget about you lol! Looks like I'll be getting my wallet out and investing in the V2 VFR Airfields. Will probably leave the Northern region for now as V2 is due out next year I believe. ckyliu, proud supporter of ViaIntercity.com. i5 12400F, 32GB, RTX4070, more in "About me" on my profile.
December 8, 201510 yr You are correct, Chris. Gary hopes to release version 2 of VFR Airfields Volume 3 in July 2016. Christopher Low AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU / 64GB DDR5-6000 RAM / 12GB Nvidia RTX 4070 Super GPU / Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wifi 7 / 1+2TB Samsung Evo Plus M2 Nvme UK2000 Beta Tester
December 8, 201510 yr I did a quick flight from Manchester last night - it's still pretty good considering its an older work
December 8, 201510 yr Sucks when you wait to see if UK2000 have any sales for Black Friday or Cyber Monday but they don't. so you go ahead and buy a bunch to see a sale pup up days later! That's the way it goes I guess! Might pick up a few more. The only problem I find with uk2000 airports is when you change regions in Orbx you have to manually move all the UK2000 airports above orbx in the scenery library. Is there a work around to prevent this? Cheers Pete Richards I've owned every version of flight simulator since Flight Simulator 3.0 in 1988.
