July 26, 20232 yr Commercial Member With the release of my KONT , I'd like to figure out a new U.S. airport do to along with my main project KPBI while it's in production. Preferably not one that's not being worked on already, or has a subpar counterpart. A lot of stuff has released within in the year, so I'd figured "wants" have changed compared to a year ago. I'm willing to take anything from KALB/DSM size, to regional airports (CRJ, ERJ, some 320/737s), to some cool GA airports. I was considering GEG & DSM, however both are undergoing terminal expansions. Currently what's known in development by other devs: KJAX - Fly2High KMDT - Sierrasim Let me know what'd you guys like me to do ;)
July 26, 20232 yr How about KHTS, Tri-State Airport in Huntington, WV. The airport sits on a scenic mountaintop next to the confluence of two rivers. This airport is the site of the worst sports aviation disaster in US history -- the 1970 plane crash that killed every member of the Marshall University football team. Hollywood even made a movie about this event and airport starring Matthew McConaughey: We Are Marshall (2006).

July 26, 20232 yr I was under the impression that you had Bangor, Maine on the list but perhaps that was cancelled? In any case, a few ideas: KSBY - Salisbury/Ocean City Regional Airport, Maryland. A smaller airport on the US east coast not far from innumerable other airport sceneries like Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, DC, Charlotte, etc. They are a Piedmont maintenance base and get airline service from them (American Airlines feeder). The region is a popular vacation destination in the summer. KBJI - Bimidji Regional Airport, Minnesota. An airport in the middle of MN northern lake country. Airline service to KMSP, and not far by air to Duluth and points further north. Lots of feeder cargo flights operate here. KRKD - Knox County Regional Airport, Maine. A Cape Air destination (to/from Boston) in scenic coastal Maine, not far from Portland. Wonderfully scenic islands nearby, and it serves as a freight up for the coastal communities nearby.

July 26, 20232 yr KPWA Wiley Post Airport, OKC OK. FYI, In the year ending December 5, 2017, Wiley Post logged 70,027 flight operations.[2] This figure accounts for only those operations logged by the air traffic control tower, which is open daily from 7 A.M. until 10 P.M. The airport provides a base for over 300 aircraft in its leased hangars. These range from single and twin engine planes to turboprop and jet aircraft.

July 26, 20232 yr I think Richmond International (KRIC) would be an excellent smaller airport to do and right now it has very little competition in the market. I think many of us are biased to the proximity of the airports we ask for, and I'm no exception... but, I do feel that Richmond has several neat features that make it a great build for a developer. For instance, the upgraded Bing photogrammetry in the Richmond area would make any high quality airport blend well with the environment and the city in the background. The size and complexity of the airport make it a relatively easy project compared to some of the others you've considered. I also really like that this airport has some cool hidden gems. For instance, if you check out the bing aerial view, on the eastern side of the field you'll notice a hanger with two 757s pointing at each other. Both unmarked aircraft with the exception of an American Flag (https://www.reddit.com/r/rva/comments/885pm3/plain_white_airliners_with_only_american_flag/) Central Virginia has been neglected over the years and very few freeware projects exist. The only competition at the moment for KRIC on the payware level is from msfsscenerybuilders and it's brutally terrible. I think this would be an excellent consideration since this airport supports commercial, general aviation, cargo, and military traffic. Most importantly, you'd be working on an airport that isn't a port from a previous sim... it's new and fresh. Hope you'll consider it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksPUVxFSZ10 - Great video about the airport!

July 26, 20232 yr There are two in PNW that I’d love to see: KHQM (Bowerman) and KKLS (Kelso). AFAIK there’s nothing for Bowerman and only a basic freeware for Kelso. Both have nice water / hills around them. i910900k, RTX 3090, 32GB DDR4 RAM, AW3423DW, Ruddy girt big mug of Yorkshire Tea
July 26, 20232 yr KMKE.. never seen a good payware rendition ever done. Has everything from CRJs to UPS's MD11 and lots of 737s and Airbus 319/320/321. Also pretty active for GA. Also home to the 128th refueling wing David
July 26, 20232 yr I would never turn down a pro rendition of KALB. Some other good suggestions mentioned here as well. Bryan OpalkaNoble Air - Americas Region
