My Thoughts on Houston KIAH...

[flight224]

Hello FSDT,
Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport is a large international carrier that has airlines from all over the world visiting it. KIAH is a much needed airport in the FS community because there isn't any other add-on developers that have released one. Simflyers is very out of date and is at the time when construction was still going on. There is a freeware scenery available, but in my opinion KIAH is not correct if it doesn't have the taxiway bridges, the proper ground textures, etc...Do you have this in mind for future projects? You need to at least consider it.

KPHX is a better choice.

KPHX is a better choice.

Simflyers has a KPHX out that works fine and KIAH is a much larger airport.

Yes, true.  But it is pretty outdated just as KIAH.  Wait, why is the size of the airport a good reason to do an airport?  Usually developers (key word *usually*) don't like doing massive airports that cover a large area as the potential for poorer frame rates is greater.

At least KPHX hasn't had any changes made since simflyers produced it. KIAH was still having Terminal D built at the time. Therefore, the airport isn't complete. Also, FSDT has done ORD and JFK(hint-huge airports).

Well, hint hint, after KLAS, they're doing KDFW (a huge airport, larger than both KORD and KJFK), and then they're taking a break from sceneries and making an aircraft.  This has been stated numerous times.  If they do indeed decide to make KIAH, I'd bet it'll be at least a year from now.  Also, they've stated an interest in UK sceneries now that UK2000 isn't doing them anymore...

I was aware that they are making an aircraft as well as DFW. I was thinking that IAH could be a possibility after those are complete.

Well, yes it has had changes since SimFlyer's made it (as I stated).

(Hint-I SAID USUALLY)  I realize that FSDT is doing large airports but being large in size usually isn't what determines what scenery is made.  I was responding to your argument for KIAH when you said "and KIAH is a much larger airport".

I don't just mean that IAH is larger in size either. It is larger in international airlines as well as domestic destinations.

Ahh...misunderstood ya'.

Please don't put KDFW off again, FSDT! 

[crunk747]

YES!!! I agree with flight224 KIAH has to be done by FSDT it is Continental's biggest hub and has been neglected by developers for along time. The Simflyers one is very old with Terminal E still under construction and it gets terrible frames. I live in Houston so it would be great if you guys made it....

May not be FSDT quality, but you can't beat the price.
