I would have to say its really hard for me to pick one ,I like them all. but I guess if I had to pick one it would be phnl in Hawaii after that it would be jfk in new york fell owed by klas in Vegas kfll and kord.

I dont own yet dfw or Zurich or Geneva yet. and not even Orlando from cloud9 only because I think it came out at the wrong time so they were limited in what they were able to do at the time fsx was just released and had no groundwork. and believe me I want Orlando kmco really bad I live in that area lol. but eventually I will purchase it since I hate default stuff.

Hi Cesar. Well it not that I dont like PHNL, because the screen shots of it look nice and I am sure its an excellent scenery, but for some reason I have never had much interest in Hawaii in both real life and in the sim. There's just something about the Pacific ocean and I dont like. Heck even when I was a kid I didn't like the show Magnum PI or Hawaii 5-0 because it was in Hawaii, lol.  As far as islands and tropics go, I am more interested in the caribbean areas like St. Maarten, or Latin desintations near the ocean like those of Central and South America. Plus the fact that for me the flights to the caribbean from KFLL, KMIA, KMCO, and TJSJ are much closer than those of KLAX to PHNL. Although I would use time compression, I still just dont have an interest in it. I feel kind of the same way about PANC, just too far away from everthing for my taste. You never know though, at some point I will probably buy it for something new to try.

As far as the Euro stuff I own it is far away from the US like you mentioned, but typically when I fly in Europe its from cities or countries within Europe, not trans-Atlantic flights. I do a lot of shorter flights there usually between Austria,Germany, Switzerland, France, Portugal, Spain, etc. Most flights from any of these countries to Geneva or Zurich are only between 1 and 3 hours. Plus the whole way I have mountains to look at and other stuff. Going 8 hours to PHNL from LAX/SEA is all just water and not much to gaze at while I fly.

You should buy KMCO, even without having the custom ground its still way better than the default. Maybe at some point when FSDT has populated more cities they could revisit KMCO and just add a custom ground layer. I fly to KMCO a lot in the sim as well from KDFW, or FLL to MCO is a nice little flight.

Hi Sean, sorry for late reply I totally understand, I just realised that while some simmers wanted panc I dont think I will purchase that one when it comes out, at least not soon. l

Like you mentioned something doesn't really grab me too that part of the world,  phnl is mostly because I did go visit there twice in my life, and had a good time, so memories are attached to it. but I did find Hawaii interesting before my visit to the island, but I admit your missing out on the island hopping. ;) I will definitely buy kmco like you said its way better then default its really a beautiful airport and I'm not saying that because I live 10min away from it lol.
