Payware Airports that need updates

Featured Replies

Over and above the airports that need adjustments to the runway centreline markings, these are just a handful of improvements that I would like to see.....

  • RD Presets EHRD Rotterdam - I do not have this airport, but the official trailer and other videos indicate to me that it needs a significant upgrade. The main terminal looks rather drab from what I can see, and the internal detail (if you can call it that) is utterly bare and lifeless. Not even close to the quality of their more recent efforts. I wanted version 2 of this airport in P3Dv4, but it falls short of what I expected to see in MSFS.
  • UK2000 EGNC Carlisle - I mentioned this during beta testing, and....whilst I understand the reasons for not doing so, I absolutely think that the external Solway Aviation Museum aircraft and exhibits should be accurately modelled. MSFS is a next generation flight simulator, and using what are (to be honest) pretty basic and unrealistic default assets is not what I want to see in payware addons. Those articulated truck models also need a major overhaul.
  • MS/Asobo EIDL Donegal - Not strictly a payware addon, but I would pay good money for an updated version of the main terminal with a beautifully modelled interior. Just a personal preference. I know that some of you will think that I am bonkers :smile:

I am sure that other AVSIM members will have a rather large collection of items that they would like to see improved in existing payware addons, so fire away!

He didn't, the first is: "I do not have this airport".
The second is: "during beta testing".
The third is: "Not strictly a payware addon".

Yeah, there are a lot of airports that still need updates. I still end up getting CTD's around the Chicago area. I assume its DD scenery and airports since there is nothing else around there. Even flying out of JFK its fine...around Chicago area. Boom.

I assume you mean that the airport has terrain issues? Is this with PG on or off?

Another one......

  • Gaya Simulations ENCN Kristiansand - there is a reason why they are called Runway Starts, and not Hold Short Starts

LatinVFR's KBWI.  There are numerous terrain irrregularities/surface undulations  along the east side of the airport.  15L/33R are affected about 1000 feet inside the 33R landing threshold.  Also affect the tarmac and taxiway heading to takeoff from both 29 and 33R.

Since you have included an MS/Asobo airport, I will add KDFW.  It has had issues for quite some time when photogrammetry is enabled.

 

 

I absolutely love UK2000's new EGNC ..... I'd wanted a payware version of that airport in the sim for years, for lovely, short, local test flights to/from Newcastle.  I hear what you're saying about the aviation museum though. It's not fab but I don't look at it too often.  And yes the Eddit Stobart trucks 🙂  Still the main buildings and ground area is great I think, for the price.   (I don't have high standards for airports - in fact I'd prefer more bundles of 'lite' airports, at a reduced price).

I find the terrain is a mess on quite a few of the included handcrafted airports, undulating all over the place, as someone said like a rollercoaster.

In my (usually unpopular) opinion, I find the Burning Blue Designs airfields greatly overrated, with dull, low res textures and signage on the buildings.  They have tons of detail, but most look like they're from FS9.

LatinVFR's TJSJ: Similar ground issues and terribly inaccurate parking spot placements.

Aerosoft Cologne-Bonn and iniBuilds Cologne-Bonn The most major change is currently being implemented in the real world. Due to the shifting of the magnetic heading RW32/14L and R will be renamed after 60 years to 31/13L and R with the next AIRAC on Thursday. This needs to be reflected in the signage in the sim as well.

And 'expensive'.

Recently bought BBD's EGTH aerodrome for £14.40 and realised Pilot Plus' EGGD international sells for £13.39. Much prefer Pilot Plus' add-ons for UK scenery.
