Best Looking Default Airport

Highly agree!

Waited for YEARS for someone to get the elevations right.....taxied by the Delta maint hangar many, MANY times in real life....it sits down in a little gully and when you taxi by, depending on the day...you see a nice lineup of Delta tails, almost at eye level.

Now they just need to fixed the reversed image on the hangar door. 🤔

The static models are from the excellent LatinVFR static package....seriously increases the realism at tons of airports...not just the fact the models are good, they are EXACTLY where they should be at every major airport.  @LVFRicardo and his team did a great job on it I think!

 

Maybe instead of Jörg Neuman I'll write in Ricardo Morillo for President on my next ballot. They make a lot of great addons!

This thread is actually inspiring me to visit some of the default airports that I haven't visited yet! I should definitively revisit KATL and SEQM, if they are that good!

But I do not agree that the default not enhanced airports are good... I really don't like that uniform grey looks all the terminal buildings have. In some cases, like Juneau for instance. it seems that the default look actually comes somewhat close to the real deal, but often it does not. So in those cases I will still be happy to get a third party addon to replace the default.

I'll add another point as well: sometimes I'll replace default enhanced airports with a payware for one simple thing: custom jetways. Personally I deeply dislike those weird, stumpy default jetways. OrbX is currently working on a new Stockholm Arlanda, and I'll probably get it, despite the default's models being actually very nice (as somebody pointed out before). However, ESSA is my 'Scandinavian hub', so to speak, and I do want to see custom jetways there...

I'll pitch in another airport: Cairo HECA. I was so happy that they included that one... Actually much better than essentially all third party versions I have seen.

I would like to check out some of these airports but I don't know the call letters and some I don't even know the country they are in.

Please include call letters for the airports, then I can just enter it into the World menu and I'm there.

Thank you,

Roy

Some truth to this for sure, but then again good and bad are relative and in my case, relative to what FSX/P3D offered for default--compared to those even the default unenhanced are....fabulous!

You can search by name in the MSFS airport selector. 

I just took off out of Frankfurt Main and good lord, amazing is all I can say.  I was 4th behind the parade of airliners headed off of RWY18 and remain blown away by the sheer quality  and detail of this default airport.  One screenshot doesn't capture all of the splendor here but geez, amazed as is typical for me still!  I have no idea how my PC is able to process all of this, without even a hint of one stutter!!!
