FlightBeam NZWN Pre-release Preview!

[CFIJose 5,485]

There's only one thing that really ticked me off. I had a bunch of reward points and never used them because of the MSFS growing pains. I wanted to use them for NZAA and they had an expiration date. I was so disappointed. But, there's no denying that their airports are worth every penny.

... still waiting for their KPDX approach fix.

Hello Mike, that is a different developer, iBlueYonder. FYI he is currently running a beta with a fix implemented, should be out pretty soon actually. If you have any questions about the six you could also just contact them directly: https://iblueyonder.com/

You should’ve contacted us right away. If your points just expired I’d be glad to put them right back into your account.

Thank you very much for the clarification as I did not know that.  I have been looking forward to the fix since the release and it is nice to know that it appears close.  Thank you again.

Do you guys see what I mean about Flightbeam? 😀

That's just for those who did not know about their service.

Mir, how about some pax in the terminal? (I don’t see any in the screenshot).

See Pyreegue’s recent work (eg Edinburgh) for some excellent examples of this.

They’re possibly the best MSFS airport dev right now. But there are plenty of other devs doing similar things in MSFS.

I’ve got all but one of your airports for the other sim. You were always the gold standard on that platform. Just a thought for how to keep your airports in the gold medal position for MSFS. 🙂

You didn't read did you....

I am happy to share with you some *PRE-RELEASE* previews. Please note that this is NOT the final version as FlightBeam is still working on the last touches. The plan is to release on Tuesday. Hope you enjoy!

And this is why I love FB. NZAA was perfect. NZWN will be also.

Of course I read, you dill. 

I made a specific suggestion as Mir was passing through here. If the released airport on Tuesday has pax, no harm done. But none of my other Flightbeam airports do, whereas all the MSFS airports I’ve bought in recent weeks have this feature.

Maybe you need to work on your reading comprehension yourself. 😳

Absolutely no doubt that I will be buying this as soon as it is out!

Feel like driving to the airport now and scrawling FlightBeam on the rocks at the southern end 🙂

Just in time for a Qantas 737 from Sydney!
