Anything by Flightbeam has my attention. It's an Insta-buy for me. I still can't get over how good Wellington is.

I agree and am looking forward to KPHX and KMSP!

[Sunshine13 234]

yes anything by Flightbeam is a first day buy, I saw nothing for Flytampa, inibuilds, Detroit looks really good, check out the video/.  The best developers in my opinion, are Flightbeam, FsDreamteam, flytamppa, and Inibuilds is really coming on..

I wonder which ones will be ready by XMAS? I know flightbeam take thier time, and yes KSFO seems their next airport.  With flytampa i have their KBOS, and Toronto/Parson, definite buys.

Inibuilds needs to learn how to optimize; this is what sets FlyTampa and Flightbeam very much ahead from my perspective. I have avoided Inibuilds products -- although I would really like a good LAX - because of what appear to be optimization issues, and I have really mixed feelings about them doing KDTW, a close airport I want more than LAX but I fear will just be too performance heavy. I saw this with RegDesigns CYYZ compared to FlyTampa YYZ. RegDesigns did, in my view, a better and more up to date rendition, but it was horribly optimized. FlyTampa's works with virtually no performance hit for me, at least not enough that I notice.

In terms of the list provided, how about a wishlist of US airports that we would like to see developed?  Here is mine:

KBNA

KCHS

KPHL

KCMH

KTUS

I believe FSDreamTeam has stated a remake of PHNL for MSFS is planned and/or in the works, but I got the impression it was a fairly distant future.

The ones I want that I haven't heard of being done:

KDAB

KATL (An elite top level type rendition)

KMKE

KPBI The silence from orbx is almost confirming it's killed.

KMKE

 

+1 for KMKE. My home airport has never seen a decent rendition for any version of FS. What's crazy is even less busy airports like KOMA there are two payware versions. Same for KSYR

I'm surprised also for Daytona Beach.  Such an important aviation city since so many aviation workers have started their careers by going to college there.

KPHL

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't KPHL the largest US airport not to have received payware treatment on any sim platform?

It's incredible that nearly every single one of the top 30 have, yet the 16th largest has not.

Embedded Dataset in Excel! I already tried to mess with the numbers, but editing is not possible! 😄

The Bureau of Transport Statistics has your number...! 😆

I always considered the sunskyjet version to be basically payware. Especially at the time it came out.

Agreed, shame it hasn’t been done to a quality level ever.

I'd like to see a well done KMDW...not the Drzewiecki trainwreck. It's visually outstanding but also a 5-star stutterfest. Surprised there aren't any other payware versions of this heavily travelled airport. There's a decent freeware version on flightsim.to. Also wondering if there's a way to mod the Drzewiecki version to make it less of a gravity sucking monster.
