August 11, 20214 yr Guess you could say I'm a late bloomer with MSFS. Further, for this first time in forever, I'm enjoying vfr flying thoroughly. Just did a quick 10 minute flight this morning from OG20 (free orbx). Anyway, I'm curious what airports (payware/freeware) you guys recommend for more VFR enjoyment. Targeting US, Canada, and the Caribbean.

August 11, 20214 yr St. Maartin is popular, (There's an authentic payware version), St Barts and Juancho E Yrausquin are nearby with their landing challenges. See you there!
August 11, 20214 yr Two weeks ago I might have said go to flightsim.to and get a bunch. There's some nice stuff there, particularly the Bahamas. After SU5 I'm more cautious, and that includes payware because of folks getting CTDs. I'd still say try flightsim.to. In terms of payware, Princess Juliana is popular but I don't see it as particularly well done...but it's a nice area. Latin VFR's TFFJ San Juan is my favorite at the moment. There's a St. Thomas on the marketplace but when I was on final to it a yacht (yes, a boat) cut right through the runway in front of me. I just sat there staring...and I paid for that.😧 Gregg Seipp "A good landing is when you can walk away from the airplane. A great landing is when you can reuse it." i9 64GB RAM, GTX-5090
