My Thoughts on Houston KIAH...

(1/3) > >>

Hello FSDT,
Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport is a large international carrier that has airlines from all over the world visiting it. KIAH is a much needed airport in the FS community because there isn't any other add-on developers that have released one. Simflyers is very out of date and is at the time when construction was still going on. There is a freeware scenery available, but in my opinion KIAH is not correct if it doesn't have the taxiway bridges, the proper ground textures, etc...Do you have this in mind for future projects? You need to at least consider it.

KPHX is a better choice. :P ;)

Simflyers has a KPHX out that works fine and KIAH is a much larger airport.

Yes, true.  But it is pretty outdated just as KIAH.  Wait, why is the size of the airport a good reason to do an airport?  Usually developers (key word *usually*) don't like doing massive airports that cover a large area as the potential for poorer frame rates is greater.

At least KPHX hasn't had any changes made since simflyers produced it. KIAH was still having Terminal D built at the time. Therefore, the airport isn't complete. Also, FSDT has done ORD and JFK(hint-huge airports).
