Airport Overview:
The airport began in the 1930s as the 300-acre Portsmouth Municipal Airport. It was significantly expanded during World War II for military use. In 1956, it became Portsmouth Air Force Base, later renamed Pease Air Force Base in honor of Captain Harl Pease Jr., a local Medal of Honor recipient. The base closed in 1991 following the end of the Cold War. After the base closure, the site was redeveloped into a joint civil-military airport, officially becoming Portsmouth International Airport at Pease. It retained its military presence with the Pease Air National Guard Base, home to the 157th Air Refueling Wing and the 64th Air Refueling Squadron. Pease was one of NASA's Launch Abort Sites and Emergency Landing Sites for the Space Shuttle program. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Pan American Airways (Pan Am III) operated from KPSM, offering flights to Orlando, Bangor, Worcester, and San Juan, but ceased operations in 2004
Located one nautical mile west of Portsmouth, NH, KPSM covers 3,000 acres at an elevation of 100 feet. It is managed by the Pease Development Authority. The airport shares its runway with the Pease Air National Guard Base, which operates KC-46A Pegasus aerial refuelling tankers. The 157th Air Refuelling Wing and the 64th Air Refuelling Squadron are both active. KPSM is a port of entry with U.S. Customs and Border Protection facilities, supporting international general. The airport is active with general aviation, military operations, and cargo flights. It remains a key regional airport for southern New Hampshire, southern Maine, and north-eastern Massachusetts. Allegiant Air and Breeze Airways are the primary commercial airlines operating out of Portsmouth International Airport at Pease (KPSM) in New Hampshire. They offer non-stop, low-cost flights to destinations such as Orlando, Punta Gorda, and Fort Myers

MSFS Product Updates & News / Joliet Airport (KJOT) 2026 For...
Last post by Gary Summons - Jan 09, 2026, 10:01 AMJoliet Airport For MSFS(KJOT) 2026 V1.0.0 9th January 2026 **Released**
History:
V1.0.0 9th January 2026
original
Joliet Regional Airport (KJOT) was established in 1930, making it one of the older continuously operating airports in Illinois. Its location southwest of Chicago gave it early strategic importance, especially as aviation began expanding beyond major metropolitan hubs. During World War II, the airport was used for military training and support operations, a common role for regional airports at the time. This period helped justify infrastructure improvements that later benefited civilian aviation. After the war, KJOT transitioned fully into a civilian and general aviation airport. As Chicago's airspace became increasingly congested, Joliet served as a reliever airport, supporting:
Private pilots, Flight training, Business and corporate aviation, Aircraft maintenance operations. The airport steadily expanded its runway system, hangars, and fuel services.
Runway 13/31
Length: 2821

Surface: Asphalt
Lighting: Medium-intensity runway lighting (MIRL) PAPI runway 13

MSFS Product Updates & News / Exeter Airport (EGTE) 2025 For...
Last post by Gary Summons - Nov 28, 2025, 09:34 AMExeterAirport For MSFS(EGTE) 2025 V1.0.1 28th November 2025 **Released**

Airport Overview:
Exeter Airport is located in the south west of England, roughly 5 miles east of the city centre. It serves as a regional airport for this, acting as a key hub for both domestic and international holiday flights.
Airport History:
Exeter Airport opened in 1937 as a small but important regional airfield, and within a year it had a functioning terminal and flights to the Channel Islands. Civil aviation paused at the outbreak of the Second World War, when the airfield was taken over by the Air Ministry. During the war it was heavily developed, gaining hard runways, new hangars, and a variety of RAF units, including fighter squadrons that helped defend the southwest. It also hosted research groups such as the Gunnery Research Unit, which carried out weapons trials. After the war, Exeter gradually shifted back to civilian use and fully transferred to the Ministry of Civil Aviation in 1947. Throughout the 1950s and 60s, scheduled flights—especially to the Channel Islands—helped the airport grow, and local councils eventually took ownership in the early 1970s. Over the following decades, the terminal was expanded, the runway improved, and new passenger facilities were added. Management changed hands several times, leading to significant investment, including new lounges, resurfaced runways, and a long-term development plan. In recent years, Exeter Airport has modernized further under Regional & City Airports, continuing to serve as a key gateway for Devon and the wider southwest region.
Today:
In the 12 months to March 2024, Exeter Airport recorded 435,000 passengers, up 8% on the previous year. Operators include Ryanair, TUI airways, KLM, Aer Lingus, Aurigny and Blue Islands
Navigation Details:
Runway 08/26: 2076 m × 46 m (6811 ft × 148 ft). ILS Frequency: Both Runways 08 and 26 share the ILS frequency of 109.90 MHz, with respective inbound course headings approximately 077° (RWY 08) and 257° (RWY 26)

MSFS Product Support / Re: Norwich Airport passengers
Last post by Andrew Waller - Nov 07, 2025, 06:35 PMHi Martin,
Norwich is my local airport. Do you have a profile for GSX? I'm only now taking the plunge with MSFS 2020 as now have a new pc as old one with many, many years of P3D gave up! Must admit I'm finding MSFS a bit complicated especially with the Honeycomb hardware; P3d I could just import different profiles. Lazy I know, but computers scare me! 🫣🤣

I have adjusted the walking path to stop just before the passengers enter the building.
Best regards, Martin.

MSFS Product Support / Norwich Airport passengers
Last post by Martin Wyatt - Sep 18, 2025, 05:34 PMHi Gary. I have your wonderful Norwich Airport for MSFS2020.
I am trying to add passengers walking to and from the terminal using GSX Pro.
It basically works but .,..
When the passengers fully enter the Terminal, or start from the Terminal, they jump up onto the roof of the building.
Is this a problem with MSFS2020, or a problem with GSX Pro, or some oddity with your terminal building ??. Perhaps its not fixable !!
With that exception, I am highly delighted with your rendition of Norwich.
Many thanks and best regards, Martin.
