March 19, 20233 yr A quick look around BMW/AmSim's KPHX. I really like it, but for some reason I can't seem to find the internal scene they have in their blurb. All my terminals are just blank, non-interiors. Still, the external model looks excellent and I wanted a proper KPHX so I'm well pleased with it. So a quick look around the airport, then a quick circuit. In the Honda Jet with the "futuristic" paintjob, which I also really like Don't know why, but this appealed to me Blue sky and bright light seems appropriate for Phoenix (although the first time I went there it snowed. First time in 40 years apparently) I remember getting off the plane after who knows how many (non-smoking) hours and sitting outside one of these terminals in the sunshine and rolling myself a ciggie (back in my smoking days). Bliss! Even the smell of the diesels seemed like magic in that light and heat. So, off we go This is the sort of little addon that appeals to me - https://flightsim.to/file/5429/south-mountain-radio-towers The level of detail is amazing The view from that shack Coming back in ANG in the background A place I enjoyed in real life, and I'm enjoying it again in MSFS Ryzen 9 7900X, Corsair H150 AIO cooler, 64 Gb DDR5, Asus X670E Hero m/b, 3090ti, 13Tb NVMe, 8Tb SSD, 16Tb HD, 55" Philips 4k HDR monitor, EVGA 1600w ps, all in Corsair 7000D airflow case.

March 20, 20233 yr You have a knack for finding the most interesting tidbits "hidden" in these sceneries. Well done!
March 20, 20233 yr Amazing, just amazing. I could never have imagined this back in 1982 on my Apple IIe. Jack Sawyer

Been to both places a few times, even on hols in one case. And seeing it in MSFS on my 55" HDR monitor is a real blast - immersive doesn't even begin to describe it.

Ah well, as you know John, it's what I do this all for. I can always find something worth going down to investigate. It's amazing what's in this sim, even without addons like those masts. 20 hours ago, SP2472 said: Very nice Andy. Cheers SP. Shame there are no interiors that I can find but it's still a nice looking airport, and one with happy memories (if you can say that about an airport) 8 hours ago, Jack_Sawyer said: Amazing, just amazing. I could never have imagined this back in 1982 on my Apple IIe. Yep. This is why I never got in to simming in the early days Jack. I looked at some of the things back then (been a PC user since the '80s) but just couldn't see the point of the early sims. It wasn't until MS Flight came along that I got interested again (I discovered that right before they canned it, so never did get all the limited extras available). That looked pretty good to me. Then in via FSX, P3Dv2 through 5 and then XP10/11. Mostly driven along by Orbx and their stuff. But now - I've got the sim I always thought there should be. And I'm loving it. 27 minutes ago, efis007 said: Beautiful shots 👍 Thank you sir!

I saw screenshots and videos, it's majestic! everything is so well done, the roads that cross the airport...it's an excellent spot for photography! 😉
