BushPilot Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Is it just me or they excluded BGBW Narsarsuaq Airport Greenland. This airport is used to ferry planes across the North Atlantic and of course used by airliners if you want to get to Greenland. It has a 6000 ft x 150 ft Runway.

g7rta Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Yep, I can’t see it either. Has to be a mistake though. There’s a very small farm airstrip that I pass on the way to work. Most people wouldn’t even know it was there.. but it’s included in the sim! BGBW should certainly be there.

Look at Wikipedia for details of what is NOT included: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Flight_Simulator_(2020_video_game) There is no mention on BGBW Narsasuaq being omitted, in any of the versions.

Elvensmith Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Yes they have Wroughton Airfield just south of Swindon in the sim which actually now has a solar panel installation on the runway area! Vern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g7rta Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 No, actually Tim it’s Walton Wood just outside Pontefract. I think it’s an aircraft maintenance firm. I have seen helicopters there before but nothing much. In the sim though, they’ve even added one or two static planes :) I’ve been to Crosland Moor a few times. To say it’s a generic one it’s not bad. I had a dabble with creating scenery years ago & I actually made my own Crosland Moor (& Emley Moor mast!) for FS2002 - still available on this website :) Regards Steve Intel I9-13900K - Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX - 64Gb DDR5 5600Mhz - Asus RTX4090 ROG STRIX 24GB 3x 43” Panasonic 4k TVs - Corsair RMx 1200W PSU - 2 x 2TB M.2, 2 x 4TB SATA III and 1 x 4TB M.2 SSDs.

Jean-Eudes Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I'm used to make transatlantic trips with a Caravan. And I had to stop to Narsarsuaq. When I saw that airport was not implemented, I directly go there and... Town is there, but, instead of the runway, there is a long hill, perfect for hobbits (albeit a bit cold), but it unusable. However, after the hill there is a flat triangle valley. It's quite bush-landing, but pleasant. Also, you can try to land on the hill, but it a bit bumpy. All of this is exactly on NAR VOR.

Guest Rockcliffe2 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 There is a dearth of airports in Arctic Canada. I especially miss the beautiful (and challenging) strip in Pangnirtung Fiord, CYXP. I hope it’s rectified by MS or some scenery designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
