Any Hi Fi military airfields (e.g., MilViz Beale AFB)...?


Recommended Posts

Title.

In search of good quality military airfield addons located anywhere on the globe.

Ideally an addon developed recently that makes use of PBR, etc. E.g., Blackbird/MilViz Beale (no longer avail for P3d 😞 ).

Mixed-use / joint base airfields are just fine, just needs to be "Hi Fi".

p.s.: former .mil airfields that are now civilian just fine, too (e.g., former cold war bases).

SkyDesigners has some of the best for P3d. Almost all in France. MileHigh Sims had a couple of nice US Navy airbases, KNQX and KNKX as I recall.

Check Military AI Works for some very nice P3d bases in UK.

looking at sat imagery of various airports:

Palma de Mallorca is a joint base https://orbxdirect.com/product/mkstudios-lepa

Rovaniemi is a joint base https://orbxdirect.com/product/mkstudios-efro

Keflavik is a joint base https://orbxdirect.com/product/mkstudios-bikf

 

Helsinki maintained a QRA force during the Cold War, and still used in times of crisis. https://orbxdirect.com/product/mkstudios-efhk

Visby has hardened aircraft shelters and appears to be somewhat active presently: https://orbxdirect.com/product/esnq

  • Kiruna has/had QRA stands 
  • Dala has/had QRA stands

Also, though not always obvious, nearly any airfield in the UK was at some point a military airfield in WWII. Many of them still have the characteristic triangle runway layout, though they may look like or have been converted into taxiways these days once the big commercial jets started operating.

Anyhow, kinda sad that .mil airfields were never really a thing in ESP - there are some fine .mil aircraft addons in P3D that arent available as Hi Fi (or any Fi...) in the other sims.

Paradoxically, there are SCADS and SCADS available for FS 2020, and most of them FREE...

AFAICT, P3D scenery essentially requires very expensive 3D software, whereas in MSFS and X-Plane, one can build/enhance airports with tools included in the sims. (Happy to stand corrected if I'm mistaken...).
