Need 2 sceneries to fly over the pond

Featured Replies

I need 2 sceneries to fly over the pond.

EUROPE: I was thinking about ini EGLL (2024 native) or FlyTampa EHAM (2020 version, not optimized yet for 2024). Unfortunately LFPG is in the making by PESIM and not available yet.

USA: It would be KIAD (2020) or FlyTampa KBOS (2024 native). Because I don't like so much KJFK.

I'd like fps-friendly... Please see my rig in my signature...

Also I was wondering: if I get a 2020 scenery, will it work in 2024?

The majority do, but it's best to look for an indicator that states whether it is also compatible with 2024. Eg. In the Marketplace they show either "MSFS2020", "MSFS2024" or "MSFS2020 MSFS2024", so you can clearly see which products are compatible.

Simmarket also has a 'flag', even on their 2020 product listings, that states "MSFS2024 Compatible". If that flag isn't there for a 2020 product, I personally don't take the risk.

Orbx is easier because they will only show you products compatible with the simulator that you have selected in Orbx Central.

EGLL has always been bad for performance in every simulator, some say due to its proximity to London .

In real life it’s a horrible airport to go in and out of.

Other good alternatives in the uk are Pyreegue EGNX , EGPF and probably EGBB but I don’t own that one.

Ini builds EGCC is ok too

Many thanks to both for your advice. Much appreciated!

I have EIDW Dublin Airport I seem to remember that being pretty good. Good scenery around the airport too

Agreed-MK's EIDW is a great airport with lots ops you can do in and out of.

If you are going from KBOS, why not arrive somewhere more scenic?

EIDW is a good choice, as others have recommended. Other good options:

EINN (Shannon)
EGPF (Glasgow)
EGPK (Prestwick)
EGFF (Cardiff)
EGNT (Newcastle)

I don't really use that size of airport but what about the freeware Gatwick EGKK on flightsim.to?

FlyTampa Amsterdam works very well in MSFS2024 with the 2 fixes :

Patch/workaround for Fly Tampa's Amsterdam Schiphol - Airports for MSFS | Flightsim.to

and

Thank you everyone. My questions has been answered. 👍

So I made the decisions to get KBOS by FlyTampa.

For the european airport, I will take a time to think about it.

Boston remains to this day one of the best airports you can get in the US

Great choice
