--- Quote from: signmanbob on September 17, 2011, 01:41:43 am ---I believe that FSDT should look at an international hub that has never been given the attention of a payware developers talent. I know that many payware developers are not in the class with FSDT, but the airports are still better than default.
I would like to see FSDT focus on one like LIRF Fiumicino Airport in Rome. To my knowledge, this as never had the attention that this classic tourist mecca deserves. Anyone that gets enough pocket change to see Europe, wants to stop in Rome. Chances are that they would be using the services of LIRF.
Let's see the true airport masters create it for FSX.

Yeah, it is unbelievable how the addon developers treat Italy as a whole. One of the most beautiful places of the world. Tourism mekka for "the non prole I don't want to go to Mallorca, Ibiza...booze tourist", but for everbody who loves great architecture, art, fantastic food, excellent wine... ;D

Aerosoft sell a very nice scenery of Florence, which WE made for them before launching FSDT.
It's one of the most popular touristic destinations in the world, it has great architecture, art, fantastic food, excellent wine, the airport features a very interesting approach because of the short runway, which is also beautiful to look at because of all the hills around and the scenery also includes the *whole* city rendered in 3d, complete with all historical landmarks, which is really a visual threat during final approach, since the airport is very close to it. On top of that, the frame rate is really excellent.
If you go to purchase that scenery en-masse, be sure we'll notice it, and we might change our mind about doing Italian airports. So far, it hasn't happened, and most of the US airports we made, sold on the *release day* more copies that Florence in the last 4 years...

I actually have the demo. Don't know why I haven't bought it yet. Most of my rides to Italy lead me to Milano, beautiful approach over the alps and the big Upper Italian Sees, to Rome (always a small side trip to the Abruzzo mountains), Venice, Genoa (very high on my italian wishlist due to its wonderful location at the edge of the hills, town and the Ligurian Sea (though I tink it will never be done)), Naples, Palermo (trip to Stromboli).
I am no expert, but at least Malpensa and Fiumicino could be successful. I think they are not slightly less interesting than Athens which led the simmarket bestseller list for several weeks almost until now.

Yes, they seems to do their best to hide it from the website, the only way to find it is to search for it:
