Will you be updating your older sceneries?
« on: September 14, 2017, 04:29:21 pm »
LAX, ORD, DFW, HNL are all airports that are very much outdated, both in terms of quality and in terms of airport reconstruction.

Do you have plans to update them, or should we look for other developers?

looking into other posts by FSDT, you will see what they want to do and in what time frame. Look for other developers if you want.

Just a few posts down... http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,16478.0.html

- When we announce a new airport, people ask for updates for existing ones.

- When we do an update for an existing one, people ask why developers always do the same airports and "why nobody has ever made xxxx"

We are obviously doing BOTH, and this is being made by entirely different teams:

The KCLT team is working on KPIT (Pittsburgh) now, and the KSDF team is working on LSFB (Basel/Freiburg)

The O'Hare team is working on a complete remake for KORD and will then move to JFK and then KLAX.

In this case, we must follow a strict priority order. KORD is in dire need of an update, because runways has changed and it's the oldest of the group. JFK has changed terminals a bit, but not the runways, so it will be next, and it's the next oldest one (it was released the year after KORD). KLAX is the most recent one, and the only issue it has, is that we already modeled things that were supposed to be completed by now, but still haven't and it's not sure if they will ever be so, is the one that doesn't require an update as urgently as the other two, so it will be the third one to be remade.

We have an entirely new team that is working on a large International airport. We haven't announced it yet, because being the first work they are doing for us, we don't have any expected released date for it.

And, the Geneva team is working on an update of Geneva.

KSDF is done, we are only working on an entirely new feature, never done before, which requires a GSX update to work.
