For my next project, and I think possibly my first payware project (if it turns out allright) I am going to do....


*drumroll*


Gibraltar

This is an odd airfield as it completely bisects the promenence if land that Gibraltar is built on, meaning that to get to the bottom of the island, a main road goes right across the runway. This is a great chance to try some interactive scenery, with gates, lights and cars being activated when the runway is in use. Its a very small airport and so chouldn't take much time to do and it has a lot of characterful buildings surrounding it, as well as the famous Rock to model.

Gibralter is a nice choice! I am hoping you would do TNCM after that!

[FlyHeaven]

[TechnicolorYawn]

Well... I have made a reputation of beating Aerosoft products now....

Oh, I've decided to call my company 'Crashgate 3 Simulations', after the spotting place at RAF Binbrook I used to frequent when I was younger.

Very nice....I would love to beta test for you

I know you wanna be solo, but another voice is always good. Thanks!

The list now stands at:

Gibraltar
Princess Juliana
London City - I've yet to see a London City addon, freeware or payware, that actually has the raised platform that the runway stands on - the airport is built on the old docks, so is a good 20 feet above sea level. All the other addons have it at the same height as the water, or just have a slope. Using the same technique as on LPMA, mine will have realistic looking platform.

Depending on how much space you think you'll need, you have an EXCELLENT provider right there in the UK -- HomePage Universe.  That's where Gunny and I have our site hosting, and where we registered/re-registered our domain names.  (Just don't let them put you on their H17 server; it's completely unreliable.  Tell them you want your account on the H15 server, if you go with them.)

And don't forget, Chris, I'm sure the FS community would love a free/very cheap, yet high quality, Male (Maldives) addon
EDIT: You'd also gain huge popularity for doing Sydney, considering there is absolutely no scenery, freeware nor payware, out there for Kingsford Smith.

Just food for thought Chris, that's all
