XpressSim Product Request Thread

Hello Allen, and thank you for this opportunity to suggest future Xpress Sim locations.

How about Duluth, Minnesota.     City on a hillside, commercial/retail development on the top of the hill.   Beautiful bridges spanning across Lake Superior, from Minnesota to Wisconsin.   

Please, how about some looks in northern New England.

KLEB - Lebanon Municipal Airport, Lebanon, NH
On a hillside just off the Connecticut River border with Vermont. Lovely area.
 
KEEN - Dillant–Hopkins Airport, Keene, NH
 
KAFN - Jaffrey Airport–Silver Ranch, Jaffrey, NH
Very small, very convenient GA airport near Mount Monadnock.

KMHT - Manchester–Boston Regional Airport, Manchester, NH  
Certified for Cat III B Instrument Landing operations, the airport has a reputation for never surrendering to bad weather.

KBTV - Burlington International Airport Burlington, VT
Sitting beside Lake Champlain.

Good list guys.   Appreciated.  Right now Gander is the current work in progress.

I'd also like to see you offer KRSW in Ft. Myers, FL. This is a very busy airport with a large number of airlines. They are continually doing upgrades to the field, and are planning on building a new tower and another runway in the next few years. The airport is close to the Gulf of Mexico, which provides spectacular scenery. The city of Ft. Myers and the adjoing river add to the sights of the area.

KFMY Page Field is only a few miles away from KRSW. It was the original airport in Ft. Myers, and is still very busy. You may want to do both airports at once. That would really make the whole area look great!

While you are on the topic of South Florida you might want to consider KMTH with a companion scenery for Marathon/Vaca Key. A great destination from KFMY!

Although, my biggest hope is for more Texas. KMFE and KHRL would be good companions for your KBRO and Brownsville projects.

Whatever you do in the U.S. will be immediate buys for me! I'm thoroughly impressed with the work done thus far; fantastic performance and excellent quality. Keep 'em comin'.

Hi! I only just learned about your airports, and they're really interesting to me because of their very low cost and great accuracy. I see that you've just released a couple airports in the Great Lakes/Lake Superior region, and I was wondering if you would consider also developing Marquette Sawyer Airport, KSAW, located in Marquette, Michigan. This would be a great product for you to develop because the airport and area is very very interesting to pilots. It used to be K.I. Saywer Air Base, which hosted a squadron of nnuclear-armed B-52s and KC-135s. Now that the base has been shut down, we're left with a quiet regional airport with ~3 Regional Jet flights per day and a handful of GA movements, but a huge 12,000 foot runway, massive ramps,  and a, abandoned/repurposed military base surrounding the airport, including old barracks buildings, abandoned gas stations, and a static air force plane display. It really stands out among all the typical small airports in the region with a more typical layout, making it 1) a cool destination and 2)a good training area capable of handling anything up to the size of an A380. 

Thanks Guys,

hi, i recently discovered these xpress sceneries and enjoying them so far, kdlh in particular.

mainly i am pleased to have more destinations around the great lakes!! this area is somewhat underrepresented in the fsx payware world..

i heartily endorse hmoody's request for marquette (KSAW)..

would also love to see some of the other coastal towns around there ... escanaba (KESC), houghton (KCMX), thunder bay (CYQT)..

for some island destinations, drummond island (KDRM), bois blanc(6Y1), and mackinac island (KMCD).. mackinac especially would be fun, i have found some updated afcads etc for the strip itself but nothing for the landmarks like the grand hotel. the default scenery just plops a cube there..

interlochen school and nearby green lake (Y88) is a pretty unique little area..

would enjoy to see the sleeping bear dunes get some love.. or niagara falls area which could use a good version that doesn't only work during the daytime like the current one out there..

pretty much anywhere around michigan will be an insta-buy for me. i do tend slightly to prefer strips that can handle larger aircraft (say...3500 or above) and/or have instrument procedures as this gives more flexibility with types of planes i can use there, and when i can use them, which is a big factor in how often i'll visit a scenery. but it's not a huge deal as i do enjoy GA/bush flying quite a bit also.

thanks for your time

cheers

Yes, we have some of these cities in France planned for the relatively near future.

Would very much like to see a trio of Ontario airports that could form a nice little triangle for VFR flying and also feature airliner/IFR flights.

CYHM: Hamilton
A mid size airport, large cargo hub. Has scheduled Westjet and Air Canada Express flights. Charter ops with Sunwing and Air Transat and lots of Cargo ops with UPS, Cargojet, Skylink Express and many other small operators.
As the City is quite large (and has a busy shipping port) perhaps this could be a split airport and city package?

CYKF: Kitchener/Waterloo
A smaller regional airport. Has scheduled flights with Westjet and occassional charters with Sunwing as well. Lots of flying training and an airport I don't believe has ever been done for any version of FS. Located close to Toronto and Hamilton. Would be a perfect airport/cityscape in one.

CYXU: London
Another small regional airport similar to Kitchener. Has scheduled Westjet and Air Canada Express flights and a busy Winter charter program with Air Transat, Westjet and Sunwing.
London is nicely located in Central Ontario, you could easily fly between all 3 of these airports in a short time. Would be perfect for airport/cityscape in one.

Would also suggest perhaps at some point down the line taking a look at some mid size and smaller airports across Canada that have been neglected for years in flightsim like Quebec City, Saskatoon, Regina, Fort McMurray, Yellowknife, Whitehorse, Sudbury, North Bay and Moncton.
Would also love to see Edmonton and Winnipeg but I would think they might be a bit bigger sized airports than you would want to tackle with this project.
Thanks for consideration

Someone suggested small and medium cities and airports across Canada, which I think is a great idea.  I would love to see the cities(and airports) Marathon and Islamorada in the Florida Keys.  The default also leaves a lot desired in areas of Mexico.  There are a lot of small picturesque cities in Mexico - Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta, Vera Cruz, Monterey, Zacatecas, Aguas Caliente, etc.

Hi Allen - - I am still alive and want to tell you I am using FSX / Express sims to teach my seven year old great nephew to fly.  As always I wish you and yours the very best.

Our Civil Air Patrol buildings show up at the south east part of the airport and I've been looking for software to use to update the new buildings that have been added. We added a shower and restroom building, a small storage building and a large medal canopy for one Cessna 172. What software do you use for that? Also, what software would you recommend for a novice? Also at the east side of Brownsville, SpaceX is building their launch site already https://riograndeguardian.com/county-judge-spacex-to-launch-rockets-from-boca-chica-in-late-2018/ and X-Plane is already creating stuff for it at https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/21020-spacex-boca-chica-spaceport/ Is there someone on your team working on this? It's really a big thing for us here in Brownsville. Thank you.
