I love Corsica by FranceVFR. I then massively expanded a couple of airports and doubled the number of runways;-) Maybe a little small for fast jets, but if you also add some more FranceVFR scenery of the med coast, it might work well.

I second that.
The scenery "Corse PhotoHD" from FranceVFR is payware but the price is quite reasonable.

(There is currently a -30% sale, the price gets down to 12 euros...)

But there is also a freeware alternative, but the textures are only 2m/pixel.

On top of that, you can download and install some freeware autogen to make that scenery look spectacular (I mean, Corsica is a beautiful place, but a photoscenery without autogen spoils everything)

And on top of that, you can download and install the freeware military base "Solenzara X" from VirtualCorsAir:

There was a topic dedicated to Corsica in this forum not so long ago. It contains some good screenshots :)

Thank you all for the suggestions - I knew most of them... but never had the time to download / install them (I was recently astonished by the number of add-ons I have downloaded but never actually used).

I agree I should have specified which aircraft I am testing, this also contributes to the immersion... At the moment I am working on the new F-35 (for P3Dv2.5 only for now)... so U.S. airbases are preferred...and I definitely need to check-out Leemore. But there are some really cool add-ons highlighted in this thread and I'll surely have a look to all of them!

It is almost incredible that we do not have a FSX native Nellis AFB scenery... MAIW one is cool, but has an impact on the fps on my system.
 
Anybody looked on flightsim?

FSX Scenery--Nellis AFB (KLSV), Las Vegas, Nevada (NV). An improved version with added parking, fire station with trucks, replaced buildings, static vehicles, adjusted taxiways and aprons and more. By Jim Cook.

Yes, I have seen that Nellis rendition - and probably does its job and maybe it is worth looking at how it stands on top of BlueSky photoreal.
No disrespect intended to the author, but I was looking for something with a higher level of detail...
MAIW version is much more detailed - and looks quite good on photoreal (with exception of a couple of polygons that look weird) - but, like other non-FSX native sceneries, the impact on performance is noticeable on my system.

Best thing of Nellis is that almost any kind of western military aicraft fits...

I have it on top of the Blue Sky scenery - and I have to admit that it doesn't sit well.
It is alright for AI traffic, though.

This is my primary version in the sim over some BlueSky photoreal. Long ago on the MAIW boards we had a link to a FSX conversion that helped with framerates, but I never found it. This is the only reason I don't stay around the area, with AI my frames are pretty low and that is not helpful flying a detailed mil aircraft recovering from the overhead for 21L/R facing the "Strip".

FSX Scenery--EPMO Modlin 2009. Features an extremely detailed scenery of military airfield near Warsaw, Poland, fully compatible with FSX. In the past it was a payware scenery, but Drzewiecki Design decided to provide you that old full product for FREE! The airport was upgraded around 2012 and currently it has a nice passenger terminal and serves low-cost carriers like Ryanair, however back in 2009 it was an almost abandoned military airfield with some amazing structures inside. This scenery shows the status of Modlin aiport in 2009 having many tumble-down buildings, deformed and rusty metal stairs and much more. Nothing has left of that old airport by now but using our scenery you can go back in time and check for yourself how it looked like. The scenery features accurate positioning, modelling and texturing, high quality photoreal textures of all airport buildings (some buildings include interior) and high quality aerial photos of the airport. The package also includes charts and airfield specification. The product is equipped with an automatic installer, but you need to manually add the airport into the Flight Simulator Scenery Library (see attached manual). Please uninstall all previous versions of this airport you may have installed before. Please make also sure that no duplicated AFCAD files are installed. Enjoy your virtual flying with Drzewiecki Design!
