Plans for an update. . .? PLEASE!
« on: December 20, 2010, 10:44:50 pm »
I know I previously posted something of this nature but I need to add a few more things. Basically, you really do need to update JFK to Dallas standards! When I have the scenery at "Ultra High" it looks great but when at "High" its like I switched it to "Terrible". The FPS is not great. I have a good computer and can run all your other scenery's and other payware products with no problem but JFK always gives me a problem. I have nothing else installed in the NY area but your scenery and when I have settings at "High" it is still lagging! I have tried the lowest settings and it is ok but most of the time still lagging. I have tried JFK with out your scenery and it is fine. Textures are awesome from a birds eye view but when you are actually on the airport grounds it does not look great (compared to KDFW but still nice compared to default FSX). In all, it would be a really great investment to just make a JFK v2.0 with the new runway 31L/13R and Delta's terminal expansion and demolition! Thanks!

JFK is our best selling scenery, and fps is extremely good considering the area is in, and is very well known for offering good fps, in an area that is already very slow, even without any scenery.

If we updated it to KDFW programming methods, the visual quality will surely improve, but the fps will not. KDFW is a very different airport, it's very large, but lives in a very fast area, and there's a lot of texture and objects repetition, which helps with fps a lot. JFK has 8 terminals all very different using very different textures, and this doesn't help with fps either.

You shouldn't use pre-set settings, but rather act on each setting individually.

It will help you setting an optimal config for your system.

I was just reading this over and feel if it is your most popular scenery then why not give all your loyal customers some eye candy with KDFW standards?  ;D

We are discussing about upgrading all our airports to "KDFW standards". However, it's something related to things not entirely under our control or that we can't discuss about it ( a new sim from MS is coming... ) so, it's too early now to promise anything.

Ah ok sure I understand. I hope you do decide to update though! I mean DFW looks incredible (all of your airports do...) but that one is really stellar and stands out. Thanks for the quick reply.
