Trust me .... this airport sticks out as you drive past heading South or returning ... best example is this scenery pointing this out .. whiles back first thing you saw was the tail of a Nomad .. seemed nothing else until a slight climb and the airport appears out no where ... least if your not expecting it .

The guy who made this FSX model was looking for another colour scheme so I gave him some pic's of RTP.

He wanted a review from me as to it's flying characteristics compared to the real thing. It's not to bad but I couldn't really say it's similar. FSX lacks so much feeling of flight, it all feels so linear, that I couldn't really usefully compare.
