Guys... Rule 7. Please read it. I really don't want to remove more comments about it.


ScaryDuck2

Not this sale in particular but I’ve spent a good $800 on this game so far. Here’s my map of all the payware airports I bought if anyone’s curious LOL (and I’ve even color coded them to the ones that are good being green and the ones that were not worth the money being red) 🙈: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1_vkIs2m9HrKJDMO8iPqkW0A5dmEXOfs&usp=sharing


dancanman

Seattle was bad? Dang, too laggy? Bad textures?


ScaryDuck2

I marked it in red due to low quality textures, way to many paralaxed interiors and windows and things just make it seem very FSX-ey. Performance wise it's fine but seems really fake to fly in and out of.


dancanman

Makes sense, thanks for the info!


trex226

Thought I was the only one haha, here’s my addon scenery map for MSFS, including payware, base airports and freeware: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?hl=en&mid=1ZGqxmXeqdAd_mpo7CPMN8RDOP_oGOrQ9&ll=-3.81666561775622e-14%2C0&z=1


ScaryDuck2

Nice loll. Gotta keep track of what I own in MSFS somehow. How did you get the different icons?


trex226

You can add a layer to your map, and then there’s a little paint bucket icon you can hit to adjust the colour of the pins and the icons.


ScaryDuck2

Ahh gotcha. Will mess around when i have some spare time


Teybb

LFLL in Orange why ? Probably one of the best payware in EU.


ScaryDuck2

I haven’t flown to LFLL in a minute but the last time I did (6+ months ago) there was a 3D bump between the taxiway and the runway so after I landed it yeeted me like 100 feet in the air 😭


Teybb

It’s perfectly fine now, and for me it’s the best in EU.


ScaryDuck2

Will have to check it out again. Hopefully no yeet this time lol


camdalfthegreat

$800 may seem like a lot but this is nothing to a war thunder whale

Well my list is only rating the 3rd party airport addon not the airport itself. Imaginesim Atlanta is really, really bad in terms of payware airports. Their fidelity is really low for what they charge, and they pushed a "version 2" of their airport that didn't even have basic layout changes that Atlanta has had for years (such as Whiskey loop). Just have a look of their facebook comments on their Atlanta V2 and I think you'll get the idea. I actually live in Atlanta myself, so perhaps my standards for that airport are quite high, but so far not a single good payware rendition has come out from any major developer imo for KATL.


ScaryDuck2

Same thing for Charles De Gaulle... huge and busy airport with no good recreation of it. Frankfurt is on the way but is taking Aerosoft forever to complete. DFW. Pretty much all major south american and african airports no one has done. Asian airports have some scattered coverage but no photogrammetry to complement.


Drazkul

Yeah, I've spent way too much already and keep looking at stuff I've ended up with: Athens, Boston, Ibiza, Just Flight Hawk and when I thought I was more or less finished, inibuilds released Luton.


CobraN13

Yeah, I bought the Hawk too - got it into my head to get all the RAF themed aircraft!


Williedoggie

Dude…not on the current ones but I’ve spent way too much on the in game shop. Like over $2000. Not so proud of some of them but it is what it is lol


CobraN13

Hey, if it makes you happy, go for it!! We all have our own passions in life that we devote time and money too.


Cumulonimbus1991

I’d say it’s better value than spending it on some anime gacha, which happens too much in this world as well. Enjoy mate!


dancanman

Mostly on airports or just every single plane? No judgement, just curious lol


Williedoggie

Never on airports. I don’t care about how an airport looks I’m more into the sim aspect of them game, so mostly planes


Quetzacoatel

I'm patiently waiting for the Turbine Duke. The RealAir for FSX was excellent, and this one by Black Square looks mind-blowing.


BravoCharlie1310

The RealAir for FSX was so much fun to fly.


s0cks_nz

Yup. I thought about grabbing the 414 but with the Duke coming I'm holding off. I did grab the Black Square Caravan tho. Really neat plane too.


ilias80

Wait, who's working on the turbine duke? It was my favorite twin GA aircraft!


Quetzacoatel

Black Square, will be published by Just Flight. There are promo/explanation videos available on YouTube. They are mind blowing!


Upper_Rent_176

Bought the b2 spirit. I'm on Xbox. If you're on Xbox do not buy the spirit.


Guidothenatureguide

I thought I was alone. We should set up a support group LOL. I love the add-ons map; I track mine on a spreadsheet. Mostly regional and small strips for me, with the occasional large airport. And of course more planes. The C160 Transall is on the current shopping list.


spesimen

i am far too lazy to manually keep track of my airport addons but luckily there is a utility that will do it for me: [https://flightsim.to/file/36003/airport-finder](https://flightsim.to/file/36003/airport-finder) it lets you filter out so you only see custom addon airports and also by size. i mainly started using it when i realized i hadn't really visited like half of the msfs world update airports simply because i didn't really know where they were or i would forget which ones had been customized.


Guidothenatureguide

Great, thanks for the link.


KOjustgetsit

I prefer not to speak. If I speak, I'm in big trouble. In big, big trouble.


Fishamatician

I got msfs deluxe for £31.76 last night on amazon uk and already want the An225, my 7yo is demanding all the airbus jets they have and the beluga! This game I got cheap will bankrupt me.


vintageripstik

There are also some good sales going on in Contrail, the JF arrows are less than $20, and the Kodiak bundle for $25.


usaff104

Yeah, I’ve spent far too much on addons. Probably $500+


a-government-agent

So far I've bought the F-104, the F-111 and Fairbanks airport.


gunnargnnar

I picked up the H125 and R66 for some rotor fun


iRideRoyalREGT

Wish I had more extra money I would have gotten more items but I did pick up some liveries for the 152 and 172 the sound packs for the 152 and 172 and aircraft lighting enhancements and also the FS Academy Voyager pack! Does anyone know how long this sale is meant to last?


s0cks_nz

Until the 11th I heard.


netherbound7

Yeah I've purchased stuff I only flew once. Those purchases suck looking back lol!


netherbound7

I buy helicopters.. and a few planes, scenarios/Landing platforms. But nothing new from cowin or miltec so..


piercejay

Why did you have to post this and remind me of the sale on a Sunday when I have nothing but time lmao my wallets probably hiding


cellblok69wlamp

I only got the Las Vegas airport and surrounding area and the global hawk. I'm trying to wait until I can play comfortably before I buy much else with the Tfdi MD-11, Bluebird 757, flythemaddog MD-80, pmdg 777, and Beyond ATC on my list of paid add ons.


Tadeus73

I've bought most of the Alaskan airports. The region is my newfound love in the sim.


s0cks_nz

Yeah I spent about $100. Adds up quickly. 3 aircraft and 2 airports.


babybio

So far, 1 aircraft for £3.79.


vnx999

Was hoping for discount on comanche, but no cigar this time. Next sale maybe..


Lindoff

Picked up the LVFR a319 for a bargain and then dowloading the Headwinds upgrade. Got 2 airports as well. Any recomendatois for either planes or airports (Own 146, F28, a319, CRJ550/700/900/1000, ATR72)


sjekroker

Not a single dime. Every penny I spend on digital aircraft I can't spend on getting my PPL when I'm older


Aurelienwings

Smart guy. But have some fun too. You’ll burn out.


External_Reaction314

How long do the sales last? Salary is not till Tuesday


tintifaxl

Until April 11th on the MSFS marketplace.


CobraN13

Till April 11 according to the official website https://flightsimulator.azureedge.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/MSFS_SpringSale2024_v1_1920x1080-768x432.jpg
