I would love if they made KIAH. I think it would be a huge money maker because IAH has a ton of international flights daily.

I hope not.  There are many more important airports in the US and outside the US, I already didn't liked Dallas, and then Las Vegas??

DFW and IAH would be pretty cool. I am really looking forward to DFW, as it is near my home. But with Greystone, IAH, and DFW, that would give the state of TX, 3 airports.

Somebody is TRYING to start a fire. KIAH is one of the top airports in the US. Want some stats...

Seventh-largest passenger airport in the U.S. in 2007
Eighth-largest international passenger gateway in the nation in 2007
Scheduled service by 27 passenger and 12 all-cargo airlines in 2006
Non-stop service to 121 domestic and 78 international destinations in 2006

and to bore you with more stats about Houston...

Greater Houston area covers 8,778 square miles.
Fourth-largest U.S. city in the U.S.
Ranks third in number of Fortune 500 corporate headquarters (20).
Home to 5,000 energy-related establishments, including 11 of the top
25 oil and gas exploration and production firms and 15 of the nation’s
20 largest petroleum pipeline operators.
Port of Houston ranks first in the U.S. in foreign tonnage.

And on top of that the Houston Airport System (KIAH, KHOU, KEFD) is the 4th largest airport system in the US, and 6th largest system in the world. How can you say that there are more important airports to be made? What would you like see them make next Monteray (california) Airport? There are several airports that are very important to the flight sim community, must have been created in the last 2 years. Lets give KIAH a chance. It hasnt been made for flight sim in FS 2002 (simflyers).

PS.... Greystone is in Ocasla Florida...not Texas

Razgriz you're a YAWM = Yet another wannabe moderator ;) (no offence)
I'm also for KIAH by the way. ORD and JFK are already AA hubs. What about CO?

Dont forget about DFW being an AA hub..... I think I see a pattern. Make all the AA Hubs, Then they can make all the CO Hubs, Then United Hubs........
I like that Idea.    ;D

PS.... please forgive typing in other posting.... Jack & Coke and a keyboard make a messy combo.    :-\

Some of those can be knocked out with one punch.  KORD is both a hub for AA and UA.  KLAX (Cloud 9) is a hub for AA and UA. 

Newark is made by FlyTampa I believe which is a hub for CO, but the only other logical airport for CO would be KIAH.  The others (Cleveland and Guam) wouldn't make any money.  So, I agree KIAH would be a good one to develop...just right after KDFW! ;D

Sorry, I was mistaken. I thought that Greystone was outside of Austin. My bad.

Newark was made by ImagineSim, but it's really not worth buying.

I found it very worth buying, along with all their other sceneries.  Newark is one of my favorite hubs.

Their other sceneries are pretty good, agreed, but Newark is really not my thing...

Newark is a really good scenery, and it serves its purpose. I agree that is not FSDT or Flytampa quality. If you take a close look at ImageSim sceneries, and compare them to what SimFlyers use to make, you can tell that it is the same person / people that are making them.  ::)

I am hoping that KIAH will be made by FSDT, FT or Aerosoft / Sim-wings. I dont think anyone else could do it justice.

I totally agree with you Bruce I love my Newark you need a good system to run it but it was my home town airport and its very accurate and I love it with my aes.

its just not fair to say its not worth buying it. I personally want dfw. believe it or not I would love a Guam scenery its a very small airport you can put a lot of detail on that little scenery. KIAH would be cool to have. wish I won the lottery!! If I do I promise to produce and invest money in fsdreamteam! hehe :) but dfw would be perect for texas. :)

Thats also the cool thing about Imaginesim they give you demos to try out just like fsdreamteam not many people do that.

I knew that before I ever invested in their scenery, found it in the "about us" section.  Tried the demo versions and found them more than acceptable quality wise... when you add a very nice discount for multiple sceneries and AES compatibility, they're hard to pass up.

I would have to agree with you about the discount compared to quality. For what they charge for there scenery, it is worth purchasing
to get rid of the default scenery. I dont even mind to say that I am still using some simflyers sceneries since they are better than anything else out there
at the moment. I have a strange feeling that I will be retiring the Simflyers KLAS sometime soon. Still waiting for KIAH and KMCO to be built for FS9.

I would love to see KIAH done for FS9...

I even have a bunch of photos from my last trip through IAH earlier this year, taken with scenery development in mind, now I'm just waiting to find a developer to give them too, haha.

Can't wait for LAS, once DFW is done, why not just stick around in Texas awhile, head south a ways and make all of CO fans REAL happy!
