USA and Canada recommended airports

Featured Replies

Hi all,

(or should I say Captains,)

Been flying mostly in Europe until now. With the landslide of quality airliner addons I'm looking into expanding my territory, so to speak. The only airports I have in North America so far is KDEN Denver and CYVR Vancouver. There's quite a few MSFS enhanced airports, both from the original release and from WU2, so I'd like opinions on these vs. available freeware/payware addons. 

What I've been looking at so far: 

MSFS enhanced airports: KJFK, KORD, KATL, KMCO, KDFW, KTEX, KSEZ, KLAX, KSFO, KSEA 

(got this list from the excellent map over at https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1KUg5jwyT_9k2A9n5IZ99UChlhfVUfO5S&hl=en_US&ll=54.378273363495104%2C3.2224970408166698&z=6)

Payware airports: 

  • KATL Atlanta Int'l by Imagesim
  • KORD Chicago O'Hare Int'l by FSDreamTeam
  • CYYZ Toronto Pearson Int'l by FlyTampa
  • KSAN San Diego Int'l by LatinVFR
  • KMIA Miami Int'l by LatinVFR
  • KRNT Renton by Drzewiecki Design

YES for everything above, except for KATL.The ASOBO version is excellent.

KEYW by FSDreamteam.

KDEN by Flighbeam.

KLAS by FlyTampa

KMYR by Vertialsim.

There are a lot more, but I'll let others make suggestions.

MSFS

KMIA by LFVR

KBOS and KLAS by Flytampa would be my recommendations

What about CYYZ Toronto Pearson Int'l by FlyTampa? CYYZ-KORD seems like a great short hop.

7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 64GB DDR5

KIAD - Washington Dulles - Flightbeam

KPDX - Portland International - Flightbeam.

 

KLAS FlyTampa (no doubt in my personal top 10)

KBOS FlyTampa

KDCA Drzewiecki

i9-11900K, RTX 4090, 32 GB ram, Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo, TCA Airbus sidestick and quadrant, Reverb G2

Didn't include KEYW and CYTZ as I'm not sure if they are approved for 737/320 operations.

CYTZ is a great airport but it is not approved for jet operations. It serves mainly Q400 and GA traffic.

Check these out:

FSDT KCLT

FAS KEWR

Feelthere KLGA

RWS KSTL

PacSim KCLE

Don’t buy YYZ from Reg Designs (terrible performance). Also, don’t buy ATL from ImagineSim.

Added KLGA and KCLT to the “wishlist”. KLGA seems a bit sub-par, and I’m not sure about the quality of the rest.

Highly recommend any airport by Windhover - all freeware of course.  Lately he's done some nice smaller or regional airports - that would easily handle the 737

Also same for BullfrogSim - regional airports mostly in the western part of the USA - very very nice freeware here

Freeware DTW Detroit

Freeware San Jose SJC
