Looking for attractive GA homebases

[Twenty6 693]

2NC0 in something bigger than a Cub. Like the Kodiak.

It's private so call first for permission.

Thanks a lot for all these suggestions so far.

Even more would still be welcome.

I was actually going to come back here and suggest just this. There is actually a pretty good scenery available for it as well. I can attest, this place is beautiful IRL.

Here's an off the wall suggestion.  Try KLGU in UTAH. Flightsim.to has an excellent freeware mod.

https://flightsim.to/file/3701/2nc0 freeware. I don't do Pilot's.

Every time I go thru Burnsville it's socked in up there in the mountains. Wonder how anyone ever gets in there. Or out.

my main Hubs for my Bushflying and GA flying are

SVSO in Venezuela (The North Andes are a great place to fly)

FWMY in Malawi - great region to fly and hin hint there is an addon for Malawi 😉

FADS in South Africa. The Cape Town Region imo is the most beautiful flying region I have found in MSFS so far.

Other than that I also fly where I live, but it's propably not so interesting for other people.

FADS [De Doorns] - I would second that - my home region. And Africa haven't had a World Update yet - go figure !. 

Greetings from Cape Town

Thanks again guys for your suggestions.

 

To round off this thread, here is another similar thread with more suggestions:

 

I thought it might also be a good idea to check out some of the enhanced default airports.

Here is a list that includes all the world updates:

Happy landings!

Greater Tyrol. Austria/Switzerland.

Swiss mesh is cheap and outstanding. Mountains everywhere

Short trips and bush trip small airport opportunities galore. As well as these cities. Giant Lake Geneva, but no ocean.

This whole region together is not large at all. A compact layout of the best scenery on Earth.

 

I like this topographic map of thermals which can be injected by Kinetic Assistant.   It gives a good ideas of the topography of the area.

There is a good payware scenery for Italia,  https://flightsim.to/product/project-coastline-italy

And Mamu's Project Lifts and Project Marina's really adds a lot.

Northern Italy, Southeastern France, Southern Germany, almost all of Austria and Switzerland. It's the greater Tirol. Lederhosen for everyone!

If you've seen Rings of Power or Peter Jackson's Lord of The Rings, then maybe a New Zealand World Update will move it to the top of some lists!

Is this list really up to date?

Good question. Anything that makes you think it’s not, or…? It’s got WU10 and everything before that.

Another great place to fly seems to be Colorado.

This adds a bunch of nice bush flying locations:

And there are some more freeware and payware airports for that region.

I just picked 92CO as a homebase and enjoy an epic scenery.
