Match the runway to the aircraft
Update 10 names two fields in the experience description: Hamilton Island, both the airport and the island scenery, and Doha Hamad International. Other airports appear in public flights. They are listed on the airport pages with the date of the footage, because a 2024 spawn is not automatically a 2026 spawn.
| Field | What is documented | First use |
|---|---|---|
| Doha Hamad | Remodeled in Update 10, so it already existed | Long-runway practice, including the 767 |
| Hamilton Island | Airport and island scenery remodeled in Update 10 | A familiar narrow-body, after you relearn the new picture |
| Princess Juliana | Named in June 2025 footage | Short or scenic approaches after the basics |
| Saba | 2025 footage; one January 2025 flight said it wanted a smaller aircraft | Twin Otter or a narrow-body, not a first heavy |
| Nassau | Named in June 2025 footage | Confirm it is still in the spawn list |
| London City | 2024 footage; a February 2025 comment asked for the UK to return | Do not plan on it until you see it in the menu |
| Leeds Bradford | July 2024 footage | Same caution as London City |
Update 2's official trailer, posted 2 February 2025, said the update would mainly add three new airports and the remodelled 737-800. The trailer description does not name the three airports.
How to arrive
- Know which runway you are joining before you descend.
- Under volumetric clouds, descend early enough to see the coast or the lights.
- Gear and flaps on schedule, not over the threshold.
- If someone is still rolling out, go around.
- Exit so the next aircraft can use the runway.
How to depart
Push back without blocking the only taxi lane. Keep the taxi light on until you are lined up. Intersection takeoffs are only honest when the remaining pavement matches the aircraft. Climb away before you sightsee.
A simple progression
Long runway first, then Hamilton's remodel in a narrow-body, then one short field in the Twin Otter or a 737 or A320neo. A four-engine heavy on a short island is a stunt, not a lesson.
Custom editor fields are a separate case. Agree the runway length in chat before anyone spawns a 767 there.
