Anyone flown in/out of Hamid Karzai International Airport?

Featured Replies

Is this airport modeled in MSFS? OAKB. is there live traffic there?

Not a good situation there now.  

one C17 just landed, I think most will have their transponders switched off. would be most interesting to listen to the Tower and ATC in these days. fortunately they can fly VFR all the time.

very nice.

I have never seen it in MSFS, but even in FSX it was beautiful scenery with the mountains in the background.  Such a shame what is happening there.

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

another one is circling the greater Kabul area at 31.000 ft, surveillance I assume:

I've placed lights at OAKB: https://flightsim.to/file/9086/basic-airport-enhancement

Download the mod and then navigate to ICAO\MID ASIA\Afghanistan\Kabul OAKB

Intel Core i7-11700F, mainboard MSI MPG B560I GAMING EDGE WIFI (MS-7D19), 32 GB DDR4 SDRAM, RTX3070, no OC for CPU, RAM or GPU, XMP off. MS Store version, default installation path on a 1 TB NVMe 4x 8 GT/s

I wonder if the airport will be re-named soon.

You won't see any military flights in the sim, as Flightaware doesn't track those.

May be an image of map, sky and text

I said Flight Aware, that isn't Flight Aware.

MSFS gets its live traffic from FlightAware.

please no politics here, I want at least one place to relax, dream and pure joy, and that is my dream world: MSFS.

Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
