I have edited the title for sensitive folks! But personally I would love to see PBY as well 🙂

Pretty fair price.. I'll sleep on it.. Looks nice!

ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-E GAMING / i9-9900k @ 4.7 all cores w/ NOCTUA NH-D15S / 2080ti / 32GB G.Skill 3200 RIPJAWS / 1TB Evo SSD / 500GB Evo SSD /  2x 3TB HDD / CORSAIR CRYSTAL 570X / IPSG 850W 80+ PLATINUM / Dual 4k Monitors 

Looks interesting.  There is a very good freeware of the airport itself available, but if I recall that is just the airport itself.  (I think it is on flightsim.to).  This looks to have some nice additions outside the airport as well.  This is always one of my favorite places to fly in FS.

Just, for all, to make the most informed decision (I'm not defending freeware or payware). The freeware airport (only, except some buffalos 🙂 ) version is right here: https://flightsim.to/file/3241/kavx-catalina-airport-ace-clearwater-airfield

So that is from the sim? Fooled me.

Definitely getting this one. Used to love flying to Catalina from Burbank and Van Nuys in the real world back in the late 80's, early 90's. Many years ago a good friend of mine survived a fatal crash of a Grumman Goose just at the entrance to the harbor there. The wreckage is still there, you can dive on it.

That is a trick! 20 years ago I wouldn't even be a question. Now actually photo can cast doubts ! 🙂

Nice pics... Especially with the Bell 😉 but I'm a bit splitted on the latest offerings of Orbx to be honest. Malmo and Goteborg for example are just plain ports without going the last mile that would make them special. No jetways for example. And others shown that custom jetways are possible and working nice. But Catalina is special for sure... Just searching for an excuse to get it.

Cheers T.

It's definitely not a major airport. Personally for me I like to fly over places that I visited IRL. I agree the price may seem too steep; however, it's not only airport but also some Catalina landmarks that are modeled. For example modeled AVX VOR is nice touch! But again I wouldn't   blamed anyone to keep freeware AVXinsteadd (which is also great)!

I’m happy with the freeware for now… maybe when it goes on sale… at less than $10 I usually don’t think twice…
