Hi Aharon

All Sim720 airports are 40% off at PC Aviator.. not just Inverness They do Stornoway and Oban too if you fancy those

I don't have any Sim720 airports I'm afraid but they look ok in the screenshots

Aharon..

I don't think there's a great deal of choice up there. You either have to buy Scotflightv3 which isn't cheap but for the money.. you get pretty much every airport in Scotland and it's islands. Or.. go for 'one offs' like Sim720. There's another alternative.. Gary Summons (UK2000) does a couple of the larger airports in Scotland (Edinburgh and Glasgow) plus Cumbernauld but that's it really. I'm sure that Scotflightv3 includes Glasgow and Edinburgh but if you don't care about the other airports.. UK2000 is a fair option.
TBH.. I have an older version of Scotflight (v2.1 Photo) and this serves me well but unlike earlier and later versions.. you don't get a full set of Scotlands airports. One could say 'most' but certainly not all. I have UK2000 Edinburgh and Glasgow so they're covered but the little island airports to the north are sadly lacking.

It's all down to what you can afford against what you wish to see

FTX Scotland enhances the majority (if not all) of the Scottish airports.

Dave,

Thanks I already own UK2000 EGPH Edinburgh (two versions) which is one of my favorite airports. The earlier version had extended or deployed jetways which I liked and the latest version has retracted jetways which annoy me because I prefer extended jetways. Oh well at least UK2000 Edinburgh is fun. I flew into that aiport in real life as passenger twice.

I am eyeing Shetland airport too after seeing it on tv mystery program called Shetland but do not want OBXY.

Sim720 software company's Inverness Airport EGPE looks fun and I might buy it

Now what I need is to find SUPERB (not crappy or fuzzy) repaint for Flybe livery for freeware Flight Factory Simulations Saab 340A that I have. Nobody paints that. Sigh sigh So I might use Midlands DC-9-10s or Dan Air 727-100s for flights within Scotland

Don't forget UK2000 also do my favourite i.e. Prestwick EGPK.

Sadly Aharon.. this is always going to be the case. No sooner has one scenery been released.. someone will comment on the support forums that this has changed and that has changed so where possible, the changes are incorporated into the next incarnation. The airports are always as up to date as possible which in your case (and mine sometimes).. this isn't what you want. Of course you don't have to upgrade

Hi Aharon,

Chris Horsfield did a decent FlyBe (Loganair) repaint of the FFS SAAB340 and it should be over at Avsim. As I live of the Isle of Lewis I have Scotflight v3.1 for the airports like Stornoway and Inverness. I did buy SIM720's Inverness but unfortunately it hammered my system to point at which the PMDG J41 was getting less that 10 fps anywhere within the airfield boundary so I stuck with Scotflight.

Andy,

Thanks for your answers. 3 months before I made this post, I did find Chris Horsfield's FlyBe (Loganair) repaint on avsim but his livery is ONLY for the payware Flight Factory Simulations (FFS) Saab 340 model. I have freeware version of Flight Factory Simulations Saab 340A. I cannot find superb Flybe livery for freeware Flight Factory Simulations Saab 340A.

Regards,

Aharon
