Are there any plans on doing a KPHX scenery? 

Thx,

Phoenix has already been done and very well so by Flightbeam Studios.

Unfortunately mate you are out of luck, Flightbeam have an excellent PHX but is FSX only...

Plus as it has been mentioned before both FSDT and Flightbeam are no longer doing FS9 Airports due to the new FSX design techniques and the difficulty in it to port back to FS9.

If you are after a PHX Scenery to get you by try the Freeware scenery by Mach1 designs on Avsim

That's unfortunate. I am currently using Mach 1's scenery. I knew I was going to need to switch sooner or later!

You better save up for new High-end PC :-)

How does FSX work on your PC? When I switch, I want to be able to fly it on max settings. How big of a computer do I need to make that happen? I tried using FSX on Windows 7 32bit PC and it could hardly run.

Very nice, but I need better RAM's/memory sticks. Mine is only 1333 Mhz, but I need 1600 or 2000 Mhz DDR3 :-) otherwise it's great.

PS: I can also recommend a SSD drive for your FSX :-) around 240 GB should do it.

Don't expect to run FSX on any computer with "Max settings", or you will be very frustrated, only to blame it on FSX, when really, FSX's sliders have a COMPLETELY different meaning than FS9.

Autogen in FS9 set to max, is really Autogen set to "Normal" in FSX, just for example.

The real problem is, our computers keep getting faster and faster, and FSX keeps getting older and older.

Agreed, I run fsx at... around 90 % of max setting with REX and other stuff.

 Even switching to 2000 or 2133 ram might get you an extra 2-3fps maybe.. Don't expect wonders.

Um...sure?? I read something else the other day.

What I meant was that I just want a good computer that is capable of running FSX without having to switch the settings to the lowest that it offers. Does anyone have any reccomendations of a computer?

Then go for my pc specs.

Better yet, post yours.  You might be better off than you think.
