Having read that JFK is one of the best sellers it might make sense to do La Guardia and Newark Liberty as well as the whole New York/New Yersey area seems to attract lots of customers. ;D
-
They would be both interesting choices but, it's probably more important to first offer usable destinations not so close to each other. One of the reasons we are still not very entirely convinced about doing KMIA, for example, is that is too close to KFLL.
-
This is a really good point Umberto. But in some cases doing a "region" like your Hawaiin airports also makes sense as many of us like to fly regional/commuter aircraft with short routes as (IMHO) really long flights in FS can be boring. (They are in real life too, but the real world is a bit more interesting to look out at) :D
Another problem with doing several major airports close together like NYC would be frame rates...

>:(
WHAT Im sorry cause Im about to make head roll faster than a fighter Jet Wheel, I Have Both Aerosoft Paris Charles De Gaulle and Orly and they right next to each other. So I dont see the point of this be worng for I find the time to experince the both of them it not all one time but still nice to have two option cause I not like they have the same layout and operation format( Smae runways, taxiways, and Traffic) So please give a better excuse. THERE LET IT BEGIN 8)

I also get the point, but at the same time, given the much greater popularity of KMIA over KFLL and the fact that more airlines (major airlines) fly into KMIA, I'd bet KMIA would be an even better sell than your already successful KFLL.

I personally think KATL would be a great choice - a great Delta hub to complete major US airline "super" hubs (sort of...).

ìI personally think KATL would be a great choice
I think that too :)

As much as I love FSDT, I don't think I would buy a KATL. I have the IS version and for the amount of times I fly there, I don't think I need to upgrade the scenery. I am sure I am not alone.
IMHO, FSDT should look at places that will have little to no competition (I don't consider Blueprint competition and I am not talking about old FS9 products). Right now, I do not know of one scenery project along the US Gulf coast and I can't think of one payware project west of Tampa along the coast. Houston, Florida panhandle, New Orleans... - that's the area of the US that is untouched. Canada needs a lot of work as well.
I like the idea of companion airports but I don't think KJFJK and KEWR are companion airports. To me, companion airports are airpots you fly between and I don't know of many flights between JFK and EWR. Nonetheless, KEWR would be nice.

I agree and it's just for that reason that I passed on FlyTampa's Midway since it's so close to KORD. Most likely I would also pass on La Guardia and Newark due to the close proximity of JFK and the fact that the NYC area is so demanding as it is, I am not sure how good performance would be placing a full blown La Guardia with JFK being so close.
Although, I would still love to have an FSDT KMIA since it's more of an international than KFLL is and performance would most likely be fine since you cant even really see KFLL from there. KMIA is probably the only airport in close proximity to another 3rd party airport that I would buy, as well as the fact that KMIA was voted pretty highly in the last poll.
ìI personally think KATL would be a great choice
I think that too :)
I agree as well. Even though I would prefer KMIA and I usually dont want a remake of an existing 3rd party airport that I already own, which in this case would be a remake of Imaginesim's KATL, I would buy it and take the IS version of my HD immediatly. Although the IS version is suitable and performance is fair, it really looks like its a step behind anything that FSDT puts out due to the lower res graphics which are similar to their KDEN which I passed on.
Hard to say which would sell better, KMIA or KATL, especially since there are probably a fair amount of people already who own the IS version of KATL and may or may not be interested in buying the same airport again even though it would no doubt be a much better redition than that of IS. I would buy ATL if FSDT did it, but would still prefer KMIA.
Either way, with KLAX and GSX not yet completed and FSDT planning to update the older airports to their current standard, it could well be 9 months (June '12) or more before we see any new airports from FSDT anyways given that it takes around 9 months for an airport to be done anyways.

I disagree. Atlanta was already completed (and recently updated) by Imaginesim and is available for both simulators, and even has AES support. I would not purchase ATL from FSDTwhen I already have a payware version from someone else, same reason I passed on Aerosoft's Zurich.
If we were talking about a Blueprint scenery, it would be a different situation. ;D
-
Unlike KMIA, KEWR has never ever been done in "reliable" quality. Both Simflyers and IMS version had failed to deliver a good quality.
-
Why are you putting FSDT on a pedestal? ;)
The IMS version of Newark needs update and FSX version, but there is nothing wrong with their quality.
-
Perhaps, our definitions of "quality" vary significantly. ;)
-
I look at this way, Some areas have cross town airports (NY,Chicago,South Florida,etc) eventually all them will be done. Just because one received attention does'nt mean the other should'nt get the same amount of attention. There should be options available across the board. :)
-

I agree, I think the difference between Imaginesim airports with or without updates are nothing quality wise compared to FSDT. Although the IS airports are nicer looking than BluePrint airports, they are still no where in the same league as FSDT or FlyTampa for that matter.
Although we all have different opinons I what we consider good quality and not so good quality. I know that some people are quite content with BluePrint's airports, so that just goes to show we all have different tastes.

Perhaps I have most of their sceneries and can see their quality. ;)

I agree, it would be nice if at some point the cross town airports would get done, however I personally would rather fill in the rest of the country with major or larger hubs that have yet to be done before they start working on cross town stuff. There's nothing wrong with cross town but when we still have states with fairly large hubs that have yet to see any action, I would rather those get priority then fill in later with the cross towns. We still have yet to see Seattle, Portland, Salt Lake, Albuquerque, Minneapolis, Oklahoma City, etc., just going by states that are void of payware. I'd rather these get done first to provide more variety than having a city with 2 payware offerings.

Some of those airports I would like to see I have listed myself on another thread previously. Its a big disapointment that KSEA and KPDX won't be done anytime soon. :P

Yep, we all have a few that we wish for that probably wont see FSX anytime soon. Heck I am still waiting for the freeware KPHL for FSX that Sunsky Jet has yet to release.
I feel fortunate that some of my most wanted airports, such as KDFW and KFLL have been done by FSDT. Of course I wish they could do everything that I request, but i'll take just about any major US hub (mainland) they do at this time as long as its not too close to another 3rd party hub.

this is teenage arrogance, my friend.
-
Ill be honest with you guys I have no interest in KSEA or KPDX I wouldn't mind at all katl redone by fsdt but my vote goes out to kmia and I think it would do well I admit even having the awesome jfk scenery which gets great frame rates considering how heavy frame rate wise new york can be I would love to have kewr or even klga redone the approaches to kewr and klga are really amazing. one can only dream for now lol.

come on fsdt miami was second as far remember in 2 place affter klax dont forget that do it and you got good sales for sure.regards feer...

I agree...
-
You guys do make a good point about KATL - I mentioned it mainly because IS, in my opinion, is not as good as FSDT and since UA and AA both have had their "main" hubs completed by FSDT, I imagine ATL would happen at some point.
But, I do agree that it seems to be a boring airport in terms of variation in architecture and airline... However, I like the idea of EWR as well... honestly I would pretty much buy anything FSDT does (but maybe not KMIA ::)). But that could just be because I am a New Yorker and I love all my hometown airports and feel that one airport, for now, in the southern Florida area is enough.

Teenage? Don't I wish... ;D

KMIA 100%. I have flown in/out of KATL like once or twice, and I don't really like it that much tbh.
Bruce - is that really you in the photo? If so, wow, you are a real 'vintage' flyer :D
-
Yes, that is really me. Some of the aircraft in my hangar are younger than I am. ;D
