@Adrian123 Anyone who is asking for a full airport list, there are 30,000+ in MFS. That's compared to 20,000 in previous versions. If the airport was in FSX/P3D, it'll be in the new simulator.

Thank you. That's great news.

Funny, but Scandinavia and Eastern Europe is totally void of handcrafted airports,what a pity.

The same goes for the whole of Russia, China and India

Yes, I wonder which criteria they have used when deciding which airports to be handcrafted, Like Entebbe in Uganda, really?, How many is gonna fly there more than once? And Saba and St.Barths, but not St.Maarten which is the airport where all flights go from to Saba and St.Barths.

Keep in mind we don't yet know if/how such airfields may relate to specific scenarios/goals for any training/challenges/rewards build into the sim (i.e. not just free flight) 😉

I'm not Noweigian,,but it's one of the most beautiful countries to fly in, so wonder why they haven't shown it yet.

The low res terrain mesh won't do much justice to the fjords. The Milford Sounds screenshots looked like melted ice cream.

I guess that' something for 3'rd party to improve on then.

My guess is that the decision on which airports to get the premium treatment was down to logistics. There need to be some high profile ones (KORD, KLAX, EGLL etc) to ramp up interest, but the list needed padded out by a number which (I assume) required substantially less work (Donegal for example!) to make the total look impressive enough. I'm sure the majority of users (not all, I'm sure) would prefer all the world's major airports to get the premium treatment over the minor ones in most cases, but how long would that have taken and at what cost to the consumer (not to mention it might have not gone down well with the third-party devs they are partnering with)?

I just edited my initial post to emphasise this is just the bespoke hand-crafted ones 😉

Great map, excellent to visualize future flights. Thanks!

I will undoubtedly visit each of the hand-crafted airports at least once in either the CJ4 or the Latitude since I'm not a fan of tubeliners except my love child B737-200 Combi. :)
