just a quick note when naming airports can you use the airport code for example gatwick would be LGW.

thanks

yeah, LGW is the IATA code (3 letters) for Gatwick, but the sim uses the ICAO format (4 letters), so Gatwick will be EGKK

Yes Denver (KDEN) is a very nice airport Grin

but I also like Tokyo's Narita(RJAA) and Sydney's Kingsford-Smith (YSSY). For airports I've downloaded (not very many) I think Bangkok Intl, in Thailand (VTDB) is nice.

There are two excellent freeware large airports that I recommend downloading - KBOS, and KLGA. Combined with amazing AI, these airports become uncannily realistic!

KBOS is Boston right? I saw a download for that and thought about DL it but it was only version 1.0 so I was going to wait for a newer version for improvements...how is it?

I think there's a patch available to update it to version 1.1, and then you have to download a seperate AFCAD for it. But trust me, it's well worth the download. It's the only software I know that's pretty much spot on by version 1.1!

Try JFK International in New York City, very big and amazing AIs, but don't try to land there, you got to circle the airport 20 times before they clears you.

The bay area of California is beautiful. KSFO, San Fracisco is an amazing airport right on the water, the runways are 13' up and RIGHT off the waterfront and theres nothing like watching real ai traffic landing and departing there with the water the hills and the airport.

I agree, this airport is one my my faves, with an incredible juxtaposition of rural, urban and water scenery. Cheesy

For the sheer thrill of landing/taxiing to the gate, Algiers, DAAG. (Refer to post, 'strange, strange AI') Grin

And one to rival KFSO for scenery, Vancouver, CYVR.
