Flytampa Montreal isn’t far off either.

Im pretty sure the latest version (maybe released a month ago) fixed that. 

Good to know.

Perhaps developers are hanging on in anticipation of SU12 surprises.

FlyTampa needs to fix their current stuff like the ILS 26L approach at KLAS that if followed brings you into a building. 

Maybe they just need to hang a giant red and white checkerboard on the side of Caesar's  Palace 😎

Flightbeam has been saying for awhile that they're going to do KMSP for MSFS. That's the one I'm looking forward to. Their P3d version was stellar.

Another one should be Oslo-Gardermoen ENGM by Jo Erlend Sund/Aerosoft.

Kidn regards, Michael

Jo Erlend Sund is very very good developer, his EBBR is just great.

What causes your extreme disappointment with them?

Off the top of my head, the following are fantastic:

• Aerosoft EBBR
• Pyreegue EGAA, EGPF, EGPH
• Flightbeam LFBO, NZAA
• Orbx ESSB
• FlyTampa EKCH, LGKR, KBOS, KLAS, YSSY
• Paulo Ricardo SBRJ
• Cloudsurf Asia WSSS
• WF Scenery Studio VHHH, ZBAA

If smaller airfields are your thing, NZA Simulations or Burning Blue Design appear to have a great selection.

I guess I should clarify that I’m not saying there aren’t many high quality airports, just not many that interest me/are in my area that I tend to fly. On that list, KLAS is the only one that interests me (I do have that one, a favorite airport to visit). It just feels like a ton of the most popular airports from P3D haven’t made their way over to MSFS yet.

Just wondering, is there any developer working on Frankfurt EDDF?

Also missing LFPG.

Any of the ones in the list below?

None openly, AFAIK.

I see Gaya Sim has rammed their stake firmly into the ground.
Just the 7 airports listed on their 'coming soon'™ page…

Even though some of these are handcrafted default in the sim, there is an opening for developing quality payware versions of:
EDDF, LSGG, HECA, KATL, KDFW, KJFK, KMIA, KPHL, KSBS, HAAB, OMAA, OMDB(?), RCTP, RJTT, SAEZ, SBGR, VABB, VIDP, VTBS, YBCS

There is a dev looking at LFPG, though it is their first attempt at a large airport.

Wouldn't consider those to be “top tier.”

KMIA review / No reviews for LSGG, just some additional amusement

Yeah LFVR is ok, I do own all of the airports, the modelling is usually very good but the texturing is not the best. Here is the problem, I have talked to a number of the developers for US airports, generally when a larger group tackles an airport its not a very good financial decision to  make another version. So for a lot of the LFVR airports those are likely the only versions we will get. Vertical Sim mentioned this on discord recently with an airport he was going to make but another not so great developer was already working on it and would be first to release so he was considering dropping the project. 

I only buy US airports and the developers I tend to look out for are Fly Tampa, Drzwecki, Flight Beam, ORBX, INI Builds, Pac Sim, Northern Sky, Vertical Sim, Dominic Design Team, Aerosoft and FS Dream Team. However I will buy from LFVR if its an airport I want (or in the case of KMSY the defaults has a building on the taxiway to the new terminal), and BM World has some descent scenery (not really impressed with KDEN) but like the new Memphis (have yet to try KSEA). 

For US based airports I avoid Feel There, Tropical Sim, FSX Scenery, Real World Scenery and Tropical Sim. 

I am curious to see what IBLUEYonder does with KDAL (releasing soon and Texan Simulations does with KHOU.  

[Victors Valiant 13]

Some Airports I do know that are in development are:

 

KTPA from Vertical Sim (this one should be released very soon)

KSLC in development from Pac Sim (their KCLE was very good)

KPHX from Flight Beam or iBlueYonder, not exactly confirmed but they have been porting previous projects

KSFO from Flight Beam (similar to KPHX not confirmed)

KMSP from Flight beam (similar to KPHX not confirmed)

KIAH is  in development from FSDreamTeam and it should be coming soon (it was confirmed in March 2022)

KPHNL in development from FS Dream Team (not sure when but confirmed in July 2021)

KBNA has been mentioned to be Vertical Sims next project (only have seen this mentioned on forums)

KDAL from IBLUEYonder (apparently close to release)

KHOU from Texas Simulations

 

These are what I have so far. The top airports in terms of busiest in the US we are missing that have no development:

 

KPHL

KSMF

KPIT

KCVG

KCMH

KJAX

KONT

KCHS
