Hi all,

I'm almost at the point of using msfs exclusively, but still like to go back to p3d occasionally.

However trying to get my international airports with the same standard of detail I had with p3d from the recognised great add on makers.

I know there are some really good airports on flightsim.to and i have a few but as there are so many new developers showing up i'm unsure of what are good add on makers and those just looking to cash in.

Ideally i would like to have the same airports I had in p3d plus some new ones over time and funds, so i'm looking for advise on who to trust and who to stay away from I'm not interested in regional airports (apart from UK) but the international variety and from any part of the world as msfs makes flying to airports I would never have bothered with in the past now more appealing.

I have airports from all the usual suspects FSDT, Flightbeam LVFR , FlyTampa,Orbx so it is to that standard or better i'm looking at

many thanks for any advise 

 

regards

I think your best bet is to check Youtube for a review of the specific airport you are interested in.  A lot of Youtube reviewers will include the FPS & performance for the airport, as well as a walk around the airport so you get to see how it looks like.  If you can't find a review of the airport, you can find somebody who streamed a flight at that airport, that's also a good indication of the airport quality.

To be honest, airports are one of the safest add-ons in MSFS, IMO. If it looks good in Youtube and the performance is also good, it will probably work well when you get it for MSFS.  

It's the more complex add-ons that are more concerning, if you are worried about bugs (ie. GSX).  

I've got gsx after a few issues getting it to show up and a chat with umberto all seems to work ok, for me at least but i know a lot of people have had issues
