Best payware airports in Europe for airliners

EBBR is hands-down *the best* payware airport scenery in MSFS, even though it's not exactly spectacular in real life.

Jo Erlund is simply a master of scenery design. His EDDK is just as spectacular.

LatinVFR’s LEBL is also good, and good on the frame rates too. 

Noticed how there's also a Barcelona El-Prat made by JustSim and released in 2021 whereas the LatinVFR version was released back in 2020.

Would be interesting to know how they compare. Anyone in here with experience of both?

I heard Flytampa EKCH mentioned.

LVFR LBEL has a hand full of statics but they shouldn't interfere with VATSIM.  There is one Vueling A 320 in the screen shot then there are some statics parked in and around the Iberia Maint Hangar.  3 learjets parked on the GA ramp.  and 3 Vueling A320s in the far northwest ramp by FEDEX.  There are no statics parked at any gates in either terminal. spacer.png

Every time I even think about whether I should purchase Microsoft Flight Simulator, I see little things like this that I just know would annoy the hell out of me.

Actually for the few airports with static aircrafts (in my case ORBX LOWW and ORBX LOWG) there are freeware mods to remove them.

Christopher i don´t know which simulator you are using, but i was a longtime user of FSX and further P3D with many many addons - since i changed to MSFS i NEVER ever thought about starting P3D again.

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH hell no!
Why do devs not offer an option to disable them or at least allow to rename some "Static_aircraft.bgl" to .bak by myself????
This sucks so much and this is one of two strict no-go-reasons, why I still have not spent a single cent on payware airports for MSFS yet.

Same answer for you 🙂

Remove Statics...

Thanks. I actually tried the EKCH fix in the past but for whatever reason, it didn't work for me. Will give it another try. Also, thanks for the info about LVFR LEBL 👍

Thanks, will try it out. Would be great if I could get this one to work. Since there are A LOT of static models found in the Orbx LOWW scenery!

Not payware (well they were but now included in the World Updates) but Faro LPFR in the Algarve, Portugal and also Palermo LICJ in Sicily are both nicely detailed airports.

Palermo in particular has a fun approach as it has no ILS.

Palermo has five different ILS approaches, even. Two for RWY 20, and three for RWY 25.

None in MSFS so far. But he did Bergen, Tromso, Stavanger and Bonaire for Aerosoft for P3D and X-Plane.

Happy to report how the fixes to remove static aircraft at EKCH and LOWW worked like a charm!

I think what made it work this time was how I after dropping them into the Community folder deleted Content.xml, allowing it to be rebuilt. In combination with deleting everything in ...\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SceneryIndexes

Does it?! Oh my bad!

I'm sure my Navigraph only had an RNAV and LOC approach for Palermo.

Why does it take a freeware fix to remove static aircraft at MSFS airports?? :huh:
