Does anybody know a busy small airport?

I’m in the mood of watching other players (mostly Xbox players) do bad landings but it seems like it’s always empty at the airports I start from. I don’t want to spawn at a big airport like Heathrow, it’s just too messy with too many runways. I’m looking for something like St Barts where you constantly have people landing (well…) on a single runway.

I’ve seen it pretty busy at London City EGLC, especially at the weekends. Quite amusing seeing people try to take off in a 747 from there.

Raf Valley (EGOV) is quite busy during the day.
I’m on xbox and often sit and watch the F18s face plant the tarmac

Thanks.

Please don’t be offended about my remark about Xbox players, I know some of you are serious and use good peripherals but the majority use their gamepad and lack experience in flight sims which results in pretty hilarious, well, let’s call it landings :slight_smile:

i think the airports where the landing challenges are are generally well visited, try these.

Good idea, thanks

I’ll check it out. I remember I did a flight there in the FBW A32NX once and when I touched down I quickly realized I should have picked Gatwick or Heathrow instead :slight_smile:

I do most of my flight simming on xbox and I use only controller. It makes no difference to how seriously I take things. I have a velocity one just sitting here unused, I don’t like it much and I had problems with it.

Oh really? I feel like it’s impossible to get the kind of fine adjustments needed when using a controller. I guess you have to play around with the sensitivity curves a little bit.

V1 for xbox is alot better since firmware update.
I use mine more than Hotas now

Always fun to watch people try to land there like it’s a normal airport a.k.a. coming in way too low and crashing into the hill :slight_smile:

I use the gamepad and have been simming for 40 years. The gatekeeping is totally unnecessary,
