Looking better everyday!!! I can not wait for this to be released.
I don't know how you do it, but this is looking like your best scenery to date.

This scenery looks so fantastic and even better than real (if that is possible).

I check this site every day at least twice, looking for news of its release. This forum's topic has been so quiet. I hope to break the silence and add a little humor awhile back by starting the topic "KIAH Install Problem". I believe I will spend more time on the ground (walking & riding) of this airport than in an aircraft. This wait is reminding me of the night before Christmas - can't eat, can't sleep. I imagine everyone wants an airport they are familiar with and perhaps had many visits personally. This is one of the reasons I am so excited about this scenery. After this one, I don't particularly care which one FSDT does next. Matter of fact, I don't think I even want to know until it is released.

Waiting & Hoping In Houston/Galveston, Tx.

Agreed.....but kinda have no choice....have you seen Denver, by Flightbeam?!?!?!  They have litterally jumped ahead of everyone else in the flightsim community(in terms of large airports development).

From the recent pictures on FB, I was quietly hoping the scenery would be released over the weekend. :/

Based on past releases, I think we'll see some night-lighting screens first, and then release will follow closely.

I wouldn't go that far... Mir produces great sceneries, but Umberto was doing it long before he got here.

From the amount of photos just made available, I believe that release is imminent. With the past success of scenery products with night lighting techniques, I believe photos of such is not required just to provide more time in production.

I don't think it's to showcase new lighting techniques...but rather simply the fact that the night textures are the last item done in the development, hence the final screenshots are able to include the night lighting. At least with FSDT/FB.

My statement had nothing to do with who was here first.....hence "literally jumped ahead of everyone else"

Yeah, I like you purchased on the day of release....I'm having trouble flying any of my other addons....because its that good.:) Phenomenal work for sure..But knowing what we know of FSDT and what we've come to receive..I anticipate that Umberto will open up the flood gates again...remember Dynamic shadowing started here :)

Is FSDT making the scenery around the airport as well. When I fly outside these airports, not just FSDT airports,  all I see is trees and gray roads. Is outside the airport being developed as well?

This will end up being in my opinion the Number one airport in FSX, slam dunk!!!! thank you fsdreamteam....

We usually don't do this, and try to not go outside the airport perimeter, except in few specific cases where we put objects very important for a visual approach ( the Canarsie approach at JFK, for example ).

The reason why we think it's best to stay inside the airport perimeter, is to allow users with different kind of scenery add-ons for the area, like photoreal scenery, landclass scenery, additional vector data scenery, enhanced autogen scenery, etc. to continue to use it with minimal chance of conflicts.

I noticed the signs over JFK Blvd/Will Clayton Pkwy are the old, blue style. Will the final version have the new green, rounded-edge style? Quite a difference, especially when taxiing over the Sierra Foxtrot/November Papa and Sierra Charlie bridges.

"This" forum ? It's a link that goes on the image page on Airliners.net! Since when linking *towards* another website (which is NOT deep-linking, which would embed that image here) is a copyright violation ?

Yeah, let's leave this to the Internet police, noon.   Unless you own the picture. Then you need to lean back and not worry about that.

I am hoping for a release of this scenery real soon. I, like many others, check many times here for some good news about it being ready to buy. After some thought, I imagine FSDT is also eager to release it and perhaps Umberto has already decided what he will do with his share of the profit.

In the meantime, let's be a little more kind to one another and try to keep this a pleasant place to visit. It almost appear to be risky to even post without someone attacking your comments. When you get to be as old as I am, you don't even care if you are attacked.  ;D

I just also realize that it was almost a year since I posted in this forum with the "WOW ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !" topic.

Be Cool . . . . . . . . . . . .
