Hmm.. has anyone made an updated Sky Harbor (KPHX)? that might be worth it.. I haven't checked in a while, but I know that the old SimFlyers scenery is well out of date.

Also, has anyone made Anchorage?

As I have indicated many times before, I wish for KIAH (Houston), mainly because I live in this area and have been there so many times. I have also been to many of the other airports that have been done and try not to be so disappointed when KIAH is not done with serious quality.

I am also curious about what truthfully are the factors that developers consider when deciding what airport to do? I imagine "$" is at the top of the list but what next - size, traffic, location, or uniqueness?

SEATTLE!


Seattle, in my opinion, would be by far the best. Next door to CYVR for some AWESOME flights, and no payware for FSX so far. It would go nicely with FTX PNW. As well, it's the largest hub for Alaska Airlines. To add on to all of this, it would create a range of AWESOME FS sceneries along the west coast (CYVR, KSEA, KSFO, KLAX, KLAS, KPHX), and, soon, LVFR KSAN. My top choice BY FAR is KSEA.

I would love to see Seattle too but someone mentioned that FlyTampa might redo theirs so if thats the case better they do it so theres not two developers working on the same airport.

Seattle would be nice, but considering its even more intense of an area than Vancouver, especially with ORBX's PNW involved, I can only imagine how close it would put a lot of users into OOM land if there were using the NGX. There would have to be lots of memory saving options like what FSDT did with the Vancouver patch to make is usable. As is stands now, flying the NGX into Seattle with just the NGX and ORBX PNW, it can be pretty hard on FPS. If you add a detailed 3rd party airport to the mix and sprinkle in a fair amount of AI and some bad weather, I dont see how you would manage to get more than 20 FPS at the most. If you had to trim some settings to get good performance out of Vancouver, Seattle would probably require more trimming to get a good experience.

Dude, yes, seriously.

I guess I must apologize to you for not being up on scenery lately. Perhaps my wife and I should forgo our responsibilities as parents to a 2 year old and 9 month old with structural issues causing her to have to see a chiropractor every other week for the first 9 months of her life so I can devote all of my time back to flightsimming.

I think Miami is crucial!

Have you not seem KMIA by latinvfr? http://www.latinvfr.org/sceneries/miami/

I bought it and am quite happy with the effort they have put in.....

I believe that after they finish San Diego that they will be further updating Miami.....

I am happy with the looks of it, although I did make my own photo real ground textures to surround the airport and blend better with my GEX textures and also tweaked the AFCAD by removing all the default objects that were placed to improve performance, but still even doing that the FPS are not very good on my rig. I believe the update they are doing after KSAN is done will be to improve the FPS. Hopefully that will make it work a lot better. As is stands now, I barely use the airport since I can barely maintain 20 FPS with no AI which is a little to low for me.

I am really hoping for Houston. It is such an over looked city, especially for being Continentals... I mean Uniteds largest hub. Plus it has a huge growing list of international carriers that are adding the city.

While I would love to see a very nice Denver I voted for KIAH the last time this was done was by SimFlyers back in 2002
