KMSP - promised but never delivered

 

There is a much improved KMSP available on TO. Not payware quality, but much better.

Something in Montana. Montana has nothing.  Bozeman or Billings. With a slight nod to Bozeman.  You could probably do Billing or Bozeman in 2 months or less.

But since I live in Tucson I may be a lttle biased.  I think Tucson would be great.

Bullfrog has done a commendable job but it's not Vertical Sim Quality.

I fly out of here weekly and have lots of pictures and know people who work for Skywest that may be able to help.

I was really looking forward to GEG but I understand why Spokane would be difficult.

Verticalsim, 

Since this seems to have slowed down a lot…what’s the final verdict? Of the requests presented, what’s next?

KCMH

Columbus, Oh.  Not too big, not too small, and needs a pro developer to take it on!

KSBN - South Bend, In.  Home to several airlines, has a FedEx facility, a couple of busy FBO’s. Home to the Fighting Irish!  Nobody has done this airport.

I'd love to see KTUL, Tulsa International Airport done in VerticalSim quality. It's got a nice mix of airline, GA, and some military (F-16's with the 138th fighter wing of the Oklahoma ANG). It also has a maintenance base for American Airlines. There is a version done by msfscenerybuilders that's slightly better than default but still lacking. Might be a bit on the larger side but a nice airport project to do. Thanks for your consideration.

KPVU. Right next to a large lake, in a valley by 11,000’ mountains, brand new terminal built, huge GA presence, base for Allegiant and Breeze, has a large university also based there along with a Signature FBO.

Windhover did a nice freeware rendition that.

Very much a selfish suggestion, and seeing as how PBI is already in the works, there is probably not much traction in somethin close by... but I think the KSUA (Stuart) or KVRB (Vero Beach, the home of Piper) would be great airports, but I think the best "potential commercial possibility" airport this way would be KFPR (Treasure Coast International, Fort Pierce).

KFPR has GPS, ILS, VOR approaches and has a bunch of flight schools there, including 10L-28R, used almost exclusively for pattern work. There are air taxis and charters, medical transports, missionary flights. It's a great "learning" and training airport, its literally half-way between Orlando and Miami, and Tampa is basically the same distance from it as well.

Great Little video with nice shots of the airport:

To the contrary, a batch of close by airports are actually great for VFR dead reckoning flights flying with no GPS or nav aids. Especially if they were available at a slight discount as a bundle.

I thought you may like to know that one of the best freeware airports developed for MSFS 2020 just happens to be Tucson.  I think it would be difficult to top this with a payware ware product.

As of right now, I've just decided to continue on with PBI and finish it before someone else releases it before I can finish my rendition (for example, the 4-Montreals coming). However, I think I will make CMH my next big project afterwards. While working on some smaller ones such as (ALB, BGR, MHT, etc.).

Billings would be a real quick one and it's kind of an interesting airport.

Flew there real world for work last year, what a quirky little airport. The airport bar still has beers for $6! Scenery is quite pretty up that way as well.
