Your favorite sceneries GA and Large airports - SaVas - 25-01-2006
We have seen favorite aircraft for both the sim and real world, however I searched but didnt find any threads on favorite sceneries, and I
am always looking for a very detailed airport either freeware or payware for either GA or heavies
Most of my favs are payware, but Im looking for what others find to be great sceneries so I can broaden my horizons.
My favs: FLYTAMPA Seattle, Chicago-Midway, for larger airports, Flight Scenery Rhode Island, and the freeware Boston-Logan Version 2
Georender Chelan Muni, Emma Field, Orcas Island and CanUK's various smaller GA canadian airports

I really enjoy the aerosoft scandinavian airports 2 airport ESSA, Arlanda, Sweden, very nice indeed in my opinion.
But my favorite is by far Fly tampa's KMDW (the only fly tampa I own), along with ultimate terrain and BEV it's a real beauty both on approach and
while taxi.
Re: Your favorite sceneries GA and Large airports - Airliner - 25-01-2006
I posted these somewhere else but, oh well.
They're all freeware:
BostonV2 - the BEST!
LGA2004
DCA2002
CLE2005
BWI - something (don't recall the name, but it's about 29MB)
I also have KIAD, KMHT and a bunch of small airports which are pretty good. I actually have abou 50 freeware airports but I don't have the
original names so it's useless to list them. Do a search of Avsim.com or FlightSim.com. There's some really good freeware sceneries
out there.

SaVas: are you more into US locations or is anywhere good?

If its for other than NA or SA / Caribbean, and its payware it has to be REALLY good, jaw dropping fantastico. If its freeware, anywhere is
fine. I have the latest USSS for Russia which is also really good freeware.

One of the best payware sceneries out there right now is Mega Airport Frankfurt from Aerosoft. It has recently been reviewed by Avsim,
check it out.
I don´t own any Fly Tampas, so can´t compare it. But the level of detail you get and the surroundings (with highway traffic including
rushhour traffic) is amazing. And it even runs fine on my old hardware, but I don´t mind too much about dropping FPS if the scenery is
good.

For me, EHAM by Cloud9. It comes with the city of amsterdam too but you might want to disable that because it might destroye framerates
Not writing this by the way out of patriotic reasons or so, i just think it's one of the best airport addons i ever saw
Re: Your favorite sceneries GA and Large airports - pbn - 25-01-2006
ISD project, freeware Italian airports. They are quite detailed and still very FPS friendly. You can read more here : http://www.isdproject.com/
Re: Your favorite sceneries GA and Large airports - Navymmw - 26-01-2006
for me it is
-CDG 2005 by sim-wings.com
-Fly Tampa's Midway
-George Grimshaw version 2
- future favorite will be Cloud9's Boston once it come's out. I cant wait!

hey AIRLINER, did you use my afcad update for KDCA on http://www.flightsim.com I think i did pretty well with it
Re: Your favorite sceneries GA and Large airports - vaccaro - 28-01-2006
Some of Turkish airports freeware can be found at http://www.sanalpilot.com go to forum pages and you'll see their links.
I also like Ver Walter Gulfan's airports for Philippines.

Savas, maybe you've read the other thread of the community flight, best freeware airport I've ever seen is Jakarta, WIII. You can download it from
flightsim.com. Files called wiii.zip and wiii01.zip. Truely amazing addon...

Not sure - I might have.
I've probably tweaked every one of them so at this point, who knows what's in my folder.DCA was one of the pains to check on, though, as I couldn't find a decent airport gate assignment map. So, when the wifey and I were in
DC last year, we took a duck tour on the Potomac and I was scoping out the ramp from the river! :D
Of course, we had to go inside after. That was a fun trip. We drove and stopped at DCA, BWI, EWR, LGA, PHL, plus our hotel was just
north of IAD. And of course, the Air and Space museum (both locations) was a must!
I feel a tangent happening here... DOH!

Try Vista Australis: Colours of the Great South Land. Very innovative and quite pleasing to the eye. No (or minimal) impact on
framerates. And its free!!!
