The sad part is he isn't.  He posted the exact same thing in another topic.  And he says "Any new when you designing" as if FS Dream Team has already said they will make it, just no timeframe.  I think what you should say "any news if you're designing".  And then it should promptly be answered by a 'no'...I hope no time is wasted on this airport.  Spend time on airports people will buy.

I think everyone knows that FSDT has confirmed JFK and DFW, but I would love to see both Johannesburg and Capetown done by someone that can produce a quality scenery. I for one would buy it. I spend a lot of time flying to both of these locations from not only the major hubs in Europe (Heathrow, CDG, Frankfurt, ect..) but from select locations in the USA (Atlanta, Miami, DC). I think that since there is such a lack of high quality products for all of South Africa that is would sell very well.  ;D

FSDTs aim is to make money.
And with airports like JFK, DFW and probably PHL, LAS or whatever they'll have a lot more customers than with these airports you suggest.

Yo Dudes, I for one would like to have this Airport in my collection.
OR Tambo is the biggest airport in Africa and is growing.

The world is a big place, we can't limit ourselves to certain areas only.

FSDREAMTEAM should increase their scope by asking for help from locals of different
countries with designing and CAD skills to design their Airports.
Any person would firstly buy something they know.

That's the key sentence that sum it all: US + Europe accounts probably for more than 80% of the whole flight sim market. We had a very clear idea about how the global market is divided, when we did the XClass series for Cloud9, a Worldwide project that was sold by continent.

Sales for territories outside EU and US were quite low, I'd say 10-15% at most.

I highly doubt we'll do anything outside these two areas for some time.
