I wouldn't bet my life but you maybe right.

Out of curosity I wonder to date what the best and worst selling FSDT products are, not counting the Cloud9 stuff since it has been out for so long.

Though I understand and respect why FSDT wouldn't comment on this I think it interesting and I'm curious about the answer.

I would guess:

1. Zurich
2. KORD
3. Geneva
4. KJFK
5. KLAS
6. KFLL (my favorite)
7. PHNL

DFW and Hawaii are to new to addin the mix, but I think DFW will climb high on the list with it's excellent performance. I hope others will post their thoughts. It would be interesting...

Happy holidays to all,

It's difficult to create a best selling list like that, because sceneries have been released in different times so, for example, Zurich has 3 years of sales behind it, while KDFW is only 4 months old.

In any case, JFK is the best selling one, but Zurich and KORD are right up there, and KDFW, KLAS and Geneva are also doing well. But there's not really much difference, they are all doing fine, even KFLL and PHNL are ok, and we are quite sure PHNL has a long life ahead, once we complete the Hawaii airports series.

We never had many surprises: sceneries are selling exactly like we were expecting to, which means sales are basically related to how big and how internationally connected an airport is...the only one that has probably exceeded our expectations is Geneva, we never thought a single runway airport, which is not even the most important in its (small) country, could fare as well as the big US hubs.

Russ:
That's really interesting. I would have bet a month's pay on Zurich to be tops for the time factor you mention. I had also thought JFK might be a bit demanding on some systems, but when you think about it everybody flies there as you say (carrier wise). DFW has got to go way high on the list I would think. Very good mid continent location allowing for short, intermediate and long hauls and unbelievable performance with good looks.

Geneva doesn't surprise me at all. It's just a great little package with superb performance and fun to fly into. The approach over the lake is one of my favorites. My two most common flights are EGLL-LSZH and EGLL-LSGG.

I'm thinking LAX will be huge too and will also help with PHNL. My home in the US is very near LAX and it is my least favorite airport on the planet. I can hardly stand to fly into it in the virtual world, let alone real life. But I'll buy it as soon as released....

Thanks for sharing some insights...
