That may be true, but they are a far sight better than what Microsoft gave us.  Most of the default airports look like someone laid asphalt in a corn field.

Don't get me wrong.  Simflyers were great in their day but technology is a speeding train.  If you fall asleep at the station, it will not wait for you.  FSDT and a few other are on the train.

Not to mention its a rather simple airport. No really fancy buildings, aside from the new swa concorse and the new control tower.

Since I live 3hrs away from it and its home to my fav airline, I would love to see it done. I know a few people that live there who Im sure would love to see it being done as well!!

Yup...KPHX has become the dominant hub in the southwest.  It would definitely justify itself economically if a developer were to create this scenery.  The problem is, if developers are overseas (as quite a few are), they will concentrate on hubs in which European airlines frequent.  KPHX only has British airways right now although Lufthansa and Emirates are looking for a way in.  Once you get a few more European (or Mideast) airliners on board KPHX will lok more attractive to foreign developers.  What is not understood is that it is very popular in the US and the flightsim population in the US is largest enough to create a profit from it's development.
