Hello
I wote for Helsinki because the free addon is only available for FS9 users. The northeast Europe is in need of big airports for FSX and this is a good way for flytampa to gain market shares in europe with their splendid sceneries. I understand the canadians and the north americans who want airports in Canada though they are underrepresented in flightsim. Moreover the Helsinki airport is an important "gate" to the east, and eastern sceneries are few but highly are requested by many flightsimmers.

regards Henrik, Sweden

Sorry, didn't mean to imply you said that. I was referring to a moronic post about spec&bump in another forum. Since you brought up the bump mapping, I assumed you had read that post.

That said, there are plenty of other smaller fields in the U.S. that could use a FlyTampa makeover....*cough*KBUR*cough* :P


I would LOVE to see KBUR, a wonderful small airfield in the U.S. and home to a few great 737NG and A320 operators. It would make a great place to host the new NGX. If not now, this should definitely be considered for the future considering there is quite a bit of demand for it I've heard around various sim forums.

Someone also mentioned KSNA on here as well which I would be all for!

First of all I'm in the category of if FlyTampa makes it I'm buying it, and I also think Montreal will be a great addition...

I do wonder if any consideration has been given to doing one, two or even several of the smaller Greece airports sometime in the future? Something like Grenadines. Personally, I'd really enjoy doing some TP or regional jet hops in and out of LGAV. If this has been brought up and discussed previously then apologies for missing it..

Thanks for Athens...love it,

Hello Martin its ok no worries just been reading on the stuff that been on the x-plane blog I did run into the topic you mentioned and just realized how my post sort of got caught in the middle.

Something similar happened to me with George and Athens a few months back when I posted something I thought was gonna make some guys happy and it ended up being someone started bad mouthing and hating flytampa Athens.

As I very much respect and admire the work you guys do here and the other developer I just suck and writing and post things at the wrong time sometimes I just like to know more about the guys that do this work since I was always interested in 3d work and textures and what goes on behind the scenes but didn't have the talent and skills for it or patience for it. so my apologize to you Martin I promise I will think more before posting something thanks for your hard work and everyone on your team.

Montreal, good to hear it's being done. I have always been interested in flying to Cuba, but there is virtually no US traffic to and from Cuba (hell, there is hardly traffic to Cuba...). Canadian airlines are almost the only North American airlines to fly to Cuba, so I'm very happy. My second vote would have undoubtedly been for Helsinki EFHK. The free add-on is getting extremely outdated now for FSX, even in FS9 it looks old.

Good luck with Montreal, looking forward to that one!

Phuket would be nice as it is surrounded by a beautiful environment and it's lovely to make an approach (runway09) over the water. It's location is ideal for flights to Changi airport (WSSS) and Suvarnabhumi airport (VTBS).

Thanks for mentioning it in the list George!!

Great job on Athens but the big question I'm wondering is why no developer wants to tackle

Auckland Intl...

Back on topic, wish you all the best on your CYUL George. Based on Athens' quality, I'm sure that this scenery will be amazing :wink:
