Just Think About It

wb2002:
After immersing oneself of programming the FMC's and etc., flying to an airport and departing the plane, you can walk through the inner airport itself (just like in real life). I don't know if it would still be FSX but I believe this is possible for airport scenery developers. Given the level of detail that FSDT has provided in their latest creations, led me to this thought. Who knows, you might even have to get pass a security checkpoint before entering the cockpit.

Cheers. . . . . Anticipating KIAH has made me this happy.

Dude this is a flight simulator.. not an airport simulator..  :)

And our precious 4GB of Memory in FSX is dwindled enough, we certainly don't need another 500MB being used up to create a detailed rendition of the interior of an airport.

If you have Flightbeam's KIAD, they did a good job of creating the feel that there is an inside to the buildings when you park your aircraft at the gate, and the windows are actual windows. (Even though its' the same thing over and over).

FSDT CYVR has this also in the Main area, which looks very good, especially at night.

It appears that now days whenever someone come up with an idea that's different, there are always putdown remarks. This was just a thought however, how can this be an effective flight simulator without airports and why go through all the details that FSDT put in to producing them? I also imagine that programming can be done utilizing features of FSX that the effective use of memory space can be swapped/dumped depending on what feature is currently being used.

Without imagination where would FSX be today? Even I, had no idea that FSX would be what it is today when I purchased it in October of 2006 - and now it is 2013, close to 7 years later.

Hate to say it, but you're asking a lot from a 32 bit program.  Maybe when Prepar3d becomes 64 bit and can use more memory, something like that might be feasible.

ORBX has a freeware walking maching that lets you walk around the airport... It's called Bob...
