Orbx has released today KORS Orcas Island, 7S3 Stark’s Twin Oaks and WA79 Walter Sutton’s Private Strip for X-Plane 11. Announced less than a week ago, those three airports are ports from Prepar3D and are designed to integrate seamlessly in TrueEarth USA Washington (KORS) and Oregon (7S3 and WA79). They will require version 1.1.0 of TrueEarth Washington and Oregon for full compatibility.
The airports are available for purchase separately on OrbxDirect for $32.95 AUD each.
7S3 Stark’s Twin Oaks Airpark
This airport designed by Bill Womack is located just 11 Nm to the southwest of downtown Portland. It is a perfect starting point for a short sightseeing flight in the Portland area, or to the coast or the Cascade range. All VFR landmarks are modelled in great details. The 2500ft slopped runway has been faithfully reproduced. Due to its limited length, it may be challenging when the weather is not the best. The scenery can be purchased here for $32.95AUD.

KORS Orcas Island Airport
KORS Orcas Island has been a jewel in the simulation world for more than a decade, first on Fs9, later on Prepar3D. Now ported to X-Plane 11, the scenery features not only the airport but the entire island in great details. The approach to the north, passing nearby elevated terrain, is extremely scenic, thanks to the fine shorelines crafted by Orbx. The runway can accommodate small turboprops and Very Light Jets and has GPS approaches both heading south and north, so even IFR flyers can easily reach the area. The scenery can be purchased here for $32.95AUD.
