December 19, 20205 yr I was thinking about to purchase ORBX African Ladclass but am hesitating because of the airports. Are there any HQ African airports? I don't expect latest FlyTampa or FlightBeam level of accuracy but something like Drzw.Design (never know how to spell). Do you have some suggestions? - Harry 9800x3D (Strix x870e-E) - 64GB RAM (DDR5 6000, CL 30) - RTX 5090, 34'' 1440p OLED HDR - Windows 11 Pro (1TB M.2) - MSFS 2024 (MS Store, 4TB M.2).

December 19, 20205 yr There's also Angolan freeware airpots here: https://www.flyavagroup.org/scenery-donwload.html I contributed to the Luanda FNLU scenery by way of the groundpoly and dynamic lights. Though this scenery is not officially compatible with P3Dv5, it mostly works.

December 20, 20205 yr My thoughts about Orbx OLC Africa... As for airports. See my pics regarding FYWH and FYWB from FSDG:https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/537708-new-major-african-hub-scenery-fsdg-gobd/?tab=comments#comment-3860693 Bob didn't mention FSDG's FALE in his list. I also think Prealsoft's GMMN + separate Casablanca city scenery is worth looking at Wouldn't touch the NMG stuff. If you're desperate for FAOR, you could look at Gaffer Sim instead - it looks better. For some additional freeware: DAAG - Algiers Int'l, Algeria (by Riad Ghenim) FAKN - Kruger Mpumalanga Int'l, South Africa (Aeroworx) FASZ - Skukuza, South Africa (Aeroworx) FMNN - Nosy Bé-Fascene, Madagascar (Free Scenery Designs) FMST - Toliara (Tuléar), Madagascar (Free Scenery Designs) There's nothing in Africa that screams 'high quality', you have to love the continent to feel like it's worth spending your money. There are about 10 airports that make it worthwhile for me.

Don't bother with NGM FAOR. South World Scene is supposed to bring their FAOR out relatively soon and it's bound to be a large step above NMG. That said, SWS has said before that they were going to release FAOR soon and it never happened... But this time it seems as though it actually is close to release! Also two more payware airports that are quite nice but very small: FSCGAA Yamoussooukro DIYO https://secure.simmarket.com/fscgaa-ivory-coast-yamoussooukro-international-airport-diyo-p3d.phtml FSCGAA Maseru FXMM https://secure.simmarket.com/fscgaa-lesotho-maseru-moshoeshoe-i-international-airport-fxmm-p3d.phtml Benjamin van Soldt Windows 10 64bit - i5-8600k @ 4.7GHz - ASRock Fatality K6 Z370 - EVGA GTX1070 SC 8GB VRAM - 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX @ 3200MHz - Samsung 960 Evo SSD M.2 NVMe 500GB - 2x Samsung 860 Evo SSD 1TB (P3Dv4/5 drive) - Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM - Seasonic FocusPlus Gold 750W - Noctua DH-15S - Fractal Design Focus G (White) Case

December 21, 20205 yr FSDG just released FYWB (Walvis bay) and FYWH (Windhoek) in Namibia recently - I must still get those. I think they are working on FAOR Johan Pienaar

Maybe two airports or even one is enough if you fly from Gibraltar to Maroc or maybe across the desert to a place in western Africa. Or from Egypt (Cairo) to somewhere in Southafrica?

December 21, 20205 yr GBYD by Grand Island Sim is quite nice too and a popular holiday destination. Would love FSDG to do some more Moroccan airports: Essaouira, Tangier, Fez, Rabat... LPMA

I have Rabat from Fsxcenery https://secure.simmarket.com/fsxcenery-gmme-rabat-sale-airport-fsx-p3d.phtml It is not really todays standard but I reworked the Afcad a bit and it's better than default now.
