I had to make a play on your statistics Umberto :), of course you know your market.

That said I reside in the UK and have a few of your State-side scenery's along with GSX plus Geneva a European scenery ;)

And of course I greatly enjoy your products.

We do need more north American airports in FSX. I support Umberto all the way regarding EU vs. US scenery.

I agree also. Aerosoft and the devs they publish pretty much have EU covered to a great extent, at least most of the more popular and large cities. In the US we are still lacking the following.

Seattle
Portland
Salt Lake City
Tucson
Albuquerque
Denver ----- Better version than Imaginesim
Oklahoma City
Houston ----- 90% chance FSDT will take care of this once according to Umberto
Minneapolis
Indianapolis -----Better version than BluePrint
Memphis -----Better version than BluePrint
Detriot -----Better version than BluePrint
New Orleans


Just to name some of the larger cities that could either use a first make or a remake of a previously published scenery from another developer.

Given how long (aprox. 8 months) it take FSDT to produce an airport of great quality, they would be busy for years even just attempting 5 or 6 of these cities.

DTW is being worked on by Shez and Ian over at SunSkyJet: http://www.sunskyjet.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=a0ac13c7fd271ad78ed4d4120b481d1b&topic=1076.0

Yes, but the rest of list is ok, we need those airports  ;)

I agree all those airports are sorely missed.  We also need Love Field and Houston Hobby for Southwest flights.

With the recent release of Vancouver, Portland (PDX) makes the most sense to me for a next release; more so than Houston. We need at least one city to match-up with Vancouver for a short-haul option; plus the PDX/YVR pair would fit perfectly with the new Q400, now that it's available as well as other Dash-8 softwares. The default SEA also fits in till we can get a good payware someday. PDX would also fill a big gap between YVR, SFO and SJC and, I would think, encourage more YVR scenery sales.

Well, KIAH would fill that role for KDFW, and it's the 7th busiest airport in the US for the year 2012 (growing up from 10th place in 2011), I believe PDX it's around the 30th place.

Plus the fact I think it is probably the most requested airport I have seen in the various forums.

It was said JFK was impossible to make too, years ago. And doing impossible things it's a good way to be motivated to find new ways to do things. So yes, KSEA looks a very strong candidate too, maybe next year.

I would love to see KSEA done, one of my favorite airports.  I had given up hope of seeing this one since the FPS are so terrible in the area for some reason.  Good to see you guys haven't given up hope on it.
