Hi guys,
when will there be any kind of announcement what you guys are working on? The only thing I can find is this year-old thread about "the next scenery"-Wishlist with more or less useless discussions.
Would be very exciting to hear from the official side what is going on.
Best regards
Adrian

I think it's safe to say we are working on those products:
- Memphis International Airport - KMEM
- Charlotte Douglas International Airport - KCLT
- A Cargo Expansion product for GSX
- After KMEM will be out, we'll start working on KLAS V2 and KORD V2.
- Also, we have SEVERAL unannounced projects in additions to these, they are all made by new teams we just hired, so we want to wait a bit before announcing them.
-
just out of curiosity, are all the unannounced airports in the US or international?
and also a curious question. how long does it take to update an airport when the real one has changed (removal of terminal 3 at JFK for example)
-

Both.
-
Umberto, are we close to any "backdoor" posts for either KMEM or KCLT? I remember you saying that KCLT was coming along very quickly.

What developer is working on Detroit KDTW?
KCLT was done by Imaginesim, I am surprised seeing it redone (...a phrase I've read on one of the forums: "we try not to step on each other's toes"). Otherwise if redoing their sceneries I would begin with KATL. What I don't like about their sceneries is that the scenery display slider within FSX has to be set to max in order for jetways to show up, otherwise it is buildings only.
Two major US sceneries remaining is KDTW and KSEA which are not being done by anyone (?)
Blueprint does very good decisions selecting sceneries but it's Blueprint...

From their own website, it's listed under "Legacy products"

Agreed... :)

I would like to tackle KSEA one day or the other, if only to prove it CAN be done. But I'm afraid it will require a total redone of the entire area outside, which might not be economically feasible, since it will raise the development time (=cost) quite a bit.
-
Honestly I'd like see FlyTampa do KSEA, they have the material. Not sure why is not redone like KBOS (not registered on their forum yet).
As for paying a fee, the modern (recent or post-2010) addons (be it aircraft, scenery or utils like REX/ASN) are too good to complain about the cost -))
ps.
still, many people want KEWR and so do I despite the JFK.
I won't be cursing Dzerweski, they did a very good and performance friendly Moscow UUEE - comparable to sceneries done by popular developers, but KEWR is not good. Looks like different person/people were developing these sceneries using different techniques.

taxi2gates next project is KSEA

We are in good hands than.

Can't wait for the KORD update!!

...says who?? Didn't find anything about that intheir forums.
Very good news about KMEM, KLAS and KORD, even if not soooo new to the ones who carefully read in these forums :-) Only KCLT is not my cup of tea, but certainly missed by many.
Now I just hope KPDX, CYYC, KABQ, KATL and/or KSLC are among the other NA airports not announced yet?! For the one outside NA, I would certainly not complain about LFPG or EDDM. Also looking Forward for the cargo expansion of GSX. Keep on the good work!

just look at there facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/Taxi2gate
i even asked them

pacsim (http://islandsim.com/index.html) will be working on KSLC after they complete RCTP.

Sunskyjet, payware quality for free.

you mentioned KPDX. i am from portland (living in central oregon) and get to visit the airport every now and again. there is a military base on the south side of the airport. this video shows all the different kinds of traffic that visit PDX:
(all 777s are all fresh out of the 2 paint hangars, and dont serve KPDX)

These quotes make me very happy. Not only KMEM, but excited for the V2 upgrades for my P3D! Hoping that PHNL will get a touch up too to make it more DX11 compatible.
-
Yes the new KORDv2 is needed but KLAX? It is a beautiful up to date scenery with good performance.
Looks like all major airports are being covered but the 2 mid country airports needed for medium range flights: KIND, KMSP. And KCLE.
-
It's not KLAX Los Angeles, but KLAS Las Vegas that gets a well deserved update. No doubt Los Angeles is still a perfect scenery!
KMSP will be made by Flightbeam by the way, alongside with EDDF.

Agreed... :)

Yes it would!
I know that Imaginesim is redoing their KATL and it will be a big improvement over their current version if is on par with their KAUS scenery.
I would like to have a FSDT KATL, but I'm not sure that will be happening this year.

Agreed on FSDT ATL! Sadly Imagine sim just doesn't cut it.
-
And probably again no discount for current users plus making people pay the full price for each sim version (FS9, FSX, P3D)... no thanks, not for what their sceneries looked like and ran until the release of the last version. Glad I did never buy it. So, if FSDT is going to make it, I would be patiently waiting for that one.

MSP is part of FlightBeam's Studios pipeline while IND has been done by both DreamScenery and "Cough" Blueprint "Cough". CLE "Cough" Blueprint as well. IND & CLE would both look great receiving FSDT Masterful look ;)

You can create 2 products. You can offer a KSEA with min surround area as one product and a redoned entire area as a second product. I guess it'll be like what Orbx does with their regions and airports.
-

That wouldn't make much sense, because the whole point of making the surrounding area too, is to RELIEVE FSX from the bad fps/VAS impact of the default area, so users wouldn't complain with us the airport is "unusable" or it's a "memory hog", when the problem IS the default surrounding area and not the airport.
No, either we manage to redo the whole area, or it's nothing. And for the time being, there are no plans for such product, for the already explained reason it would be too costly, and basically mandatory for making doable.

Agreed on FSDT ATL! Sadly Imagine sim just doesn't cut it.
And so do I. What's the use in Imaginesime if you have to set the scenery display to maximum for jetwys to show up?
Imaginesim just doesn't make to the standards of FSDT/FlightBeam/FlyTampa/Taxi2Gate.
-
The Jetways work with low settings, you just have to activate the airport in AES. But this airport is very hard on framerate (about 13 - 14 for me). So I only can takeoff from ATL, but not fly in. But I can fly smooth with 20 - 22 FPS into KLAX / KLAS / KJFK with the same settings... this is rediculous.
-

That's not the point, the jetsways work when they are there, but they are not there unless you set the scenery complexity to max.
-
Apart from that if you're using GSX you're certainly not willing to buy AES credit points for 15 bucks just to make another very mid class addon work that already should work for that price.
-
Umberto is FSDT working in a new jetway movement? The default one is horrible.

That's something that is being planned for a future GSX major upgrade (new version)
-
For the one outside NA, I would certainly not complain about LFPG or EDDM.
EDDM from Aerosoft is still ok.
But I agree, We really need a new LFPG. And I hope either FSDT, Flightbeam, FlyTampa or Taxi2gate will tackle it before Aerosoft:simwings.

100 % agree

I just stumbled across this thread. Nice roadmap, Umberto. KMEM and KCLT will be welcome additions. I was wondering if you ever considered KMCI (Kansas City)? Imaginesim did a version several years ago but unfortunately it isn't compatible with P3D.

Will that upgrade be free for GSX users or will it be a seperate product that you need to buy?
-

A major new version of a product will require some kind of payment, but of course existing users will get an upgrade price. However, we are still in the planning stages, and the current GSX product will still get a LOT of free updates (for example with new vehicles like water and lavatory services), before we'll consider making a new release.

Hi,
For the KORD update are you going to remasterised with new textures, new features and so?
Or are you going to "simply" add the new runway and taxi without working on buildings?
I'm waiting for a state of the art KORD scenery :)

Virtuali, is FSDT going to remaster the entire airport or just add the new runway(s)? Would you also consider doing RJTT or KATL?

It will likely an update like the one from JFK V1 to V2

Imagine sim working on redoing KATL.. So I don't know, wait & see how good it turns out, I've seen previews of it & looks like its going to be awsome redo, so why should FSDT waste time doing KATL when its already being redone by Imaginesim. rather see them do others not being done..

Can we expect any FSDT sceneries to come out this year?

Yes. On December 31, 2015.

Maybe Cancun is one of the airports of FSDT?

Wish we could get an update with the new runway at FLL.

FSDT has a lot on its plate right now. After KMEM is released, work will begin on the KORD and KLAX updates. KFLL may be updated after both of those are released.
