Hello everyone,

Was wondering if you could help me decide on a new airport to do! Preferably small-medium in size (U.S./American airports only). 

Airports already in development by other companies:
KPHX, KMSP, KSFO - Flightbeam

KIAH, KMEM - FSDT

KCVG - Skyline

MCO - Hancrafted + and/or Taxi2Gate

KPBI - (Not sure ORBX is still doing it since it's been 2-yrs but)

My current projects is as follows:

  • KSYR
  • KTPA

     

Some airports that come to mind are:

  • KPIE
  • KALB
  • KRIC
  • KISP
  • KGEG
  • KONT
  • KGRR
  • KAMA
  • KCRP
  • KSFB
  • KDSM
  • KMHT
  • KDMT


Thanks and regards,

Andrew

KVPS would be perfect. It's a joint field owned by the USAF that performs a lot of testing in the Eglin AFB ranges here and over the Gulf of Mexico. It receives a lot of airline traffic along with military aircraft. Would be nice to see this airport get some love.

I'd quite enjoy a Long Island Macarthur or a Portland Jetport (KPWM), as they would both a nice addition both as GA fields in the busy northeast, and to complete the regional commercial fields in both the NYC or Boston areas.

KONT, Ontario CA. Nice choice, indeed.

KOAK, Oakland CA. will be nice too.

From your list, I would definitely purchase KRIC, KISP, KMHT & KALB.  Another idea would be KJAX...

From your list KISP, KALB and KMHT. But honestly I think Philly is a big gap in the current market. I think a decent KPHL would get a lot of attention.

You could make this easier and make it a poll. KDSM for me. You should also contact FlyTampa and flat out ask whether they're considering KTPA, because if they have it in the pipe already, you will 100% lose the market share.

And why not Tampa KTPA, FlyTampa never decides to redo it from FSX and it’s not in their boxes.

Perfect size and centrally located for alot of great hops to the east coast and midwest.

Is KMCI too big?  I think it would be an excellent choice for two reasons:

1) Central part of country.  

2) The default airport has MAJOR issues.  AIG can't taxi in and no planes at the terminals.

I second Portland KPWM! One of those really overlooked airports in the US.
