Title: New Poll or No Poll this time around
Post by: cowings1588 on January 07, 2013, 11:48:49 pm
If there is going to be a Poll, My vote is of course for IAH 100%

Next would be for EWR 95 % behind IAH..

Well, that's nice for you, because those are both very likely candidates, I'd say on top of our very short list of choices. But in the near future, we'll work on updating older airports, with JFK being the first in line.

Either one of those airports would go great with the new Majestic Q400 coming out.

Another developer told us on their forum that doing Houston would exhaust their resources and force them to shut down.

Yep! Seems to be the perfect job for us. ;)

Let's not be silly now, I think I speak for all Flight Simmers that KPGD would be the best option ;). No but seriously I agree KIAH would be fantastic.

I'm ready for a much more livelier Houston IAH than Blueprints version... Yea for right now BluePrints version is doing ok for me but I'd much more rather come into an Airport thats as lively & looks more realistic with moving Monorail & buses moving around & Jetways able to pull up to my aircraft rather than just stand there & do nothing... Windows on the buildings shine from the sunlight.. Yea.. A much more livelier IAH like DFW is what I'm looking for than boring Blueprint version that I'm running off of right now.. True Blueprints version when they made it was exciting at the time because didn't have much to choose from & finally had a IAH for FSX but now others have been profecting the much HD version of airports & making Blueprint look silly for standing still & not wanting to work with AES in getting the jetways to operate.. I'm ready to move to much more HD type version of IAH & the way PHX turned out for FlightBeam..  Besides I'm missing a gate at current BluePrint IAH.. C-39 is missing it goes from 38-30 missing gate C-39 all together.. Plus there redoing the B concourse to make it look more modern type terminal at B which is express concourse in IAH.. Perfect time to redo IAH into a HD type airport & give Houston what it deserves..  :)

Than next like I said I'm all for someone doing KEWR, however I believe Imaginesim still plans on renewing there KEWR & they've been doing pretty awsome with there scenery too lately making the glass look more real & appealing so I'm kind of anxious for them to renew there's & see how it turns out & imaginesim unlike blueprint does work with AES on getting there jetways to work so, i'm really anxious for them to renew there KEWR into FSX & see how it comes out..  ATL which is there product turned out really great, haven't been there in awhile but plan on doing the route, probably after I do Vegas within the next 2 days. So I'm really expecting good things to come out of there KEWR when they do decide to redo it for FSX..

Yeah I am all for KIAH as well. I would probably skip getting EWR since its so close to JFK and I dont need to load such a FPS heavy area down with another large hub. Been using BluePrints KIAH for some time now and would really love to have a nicer version of it since it makes for a nice little NGX flight from KDFW.

Although that being said, when it comes to airports that are fairly close to each other I still wouldn't mind FSDT doing KMIA. The LatinVFR version looks nice but it really hard on FPS even after having spent a lot of time doing my own modifications to it to squeeze more FPS out. Although in all fairness to LatinVFR, they said they are going to work on an update to it after KSAN is done.

Another good one would be KPDX to fill the void of the old FlightZone version that never made it to FSX.

Yea KPDX is a good one to keep in mind for future time.. I remember having KPDX from that company & that was good scenery at the time for FS9 from them for PDX.. 


Speaking of KSAN.. Its already been done, I found it on simmarket.com some company called Divinci something another just did what looks like a real good version of KSAN..

Also getting back to Houston IAH.. NEWPORT who does outskirts or landclass scenery, just released Houston scenery for like outside  the airport kind of like what they have for MCO, where it covers the land outside the airport.. How nice it would be for FSDT to make a real nice HD IAH to go with the newly released Houston Newport scenery landclass for outside the airport for upon approach, making the Houston area look real on your way into A much deserved HD style KIAH..  :)

Great news! You are the one to take on the big airports!

JFK will look amazing after your update! Can't wait!!

I think your airports only get better and better as does the fps?! How is that possible anyways?  ;)

Because we are trying to rely more and more on the GPU, by using shaders extensively, and making the scenery in a way that can be sent to the GPU as fast as possible. And, since video cards are getting faster and faster every month, and are far easier to replace than the CPU (which usually involved replacing the mainboard and ram too), the trend is getting in our favor.

Good to hear! Can't wait to see JFK get a facelift!

Very fond of IAH....would love to see that as well. EWR would be next as well for me. Seems these two giant hub airports are among the glaring holes in the FSX scenery map. To a lesser extent would be KSLC.

Is Las Vegas on the list after JFK for a update to the AFCAD and termainal update since termainal 3 is up and running near termainal D?

I just purchased Houston scenery for outskirts of the airport from NEWPORT who also did scenery for Orlando which I have for the city of Orlando outside the Airport.. So now once FSDT does Houston IAH, It will look more like the real Houston City on the approach into IAH & then of Course the HD version of KIAH Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport..

Go ahead & do the facelift to JFK, I'll be waiting Patiently for KIAH to be done by you guys.. I know KIAH will look great.. Also by doing KJFK will give the real IAH time to build the new B concourse which you can include in your scenery when you do get around to doing KIAH.. Last I seen anything on it, they already tore down one of the round old Terminals on the South Concourse which where this new B Terminal is being built & suppose to make it look more modern..


I just now having this new city scenery for IAH from Newport will really give going into the future KIAH HD from FSDT will look awsome once its done someday..  I can't wait to check it out when I fly back to IAH from LAS either tonight or tomorrow if I don't get too it tonight..  Should look pretty sharp, i know it looks pretty life like going into MCO especially with CLoud9 Orlando..  :)

Virtualli ?? I wonder if one day if not sooner will it be possible for you guys to add the GPU to the Jetway like it is in real life. All the GPU anymore is on the jetway & have the option for the portable GPU when jetway is no available, like until you guys get around to doing IAH & having to deal with no jetways at Blueprints IAH with no jetways will still need gpu unit but once you guys do it & any other place that has active jetways & when we setup with GSX saying we are at airport with active AES jetways, the ramp can plug in the Jetway GPU once the jetway is docked to the aircraft..

I work the ramp everyday at UAL & even we have to wait until the jetway is docked to the aircraft before we can connect the jetway because other wise once we lower the power cord, the jetway will not move.. So same would be present in the game as well.. Once jetway is docked you could see the GPU cord coming from the jetway instead of power unit but still have the option for power unit if not near a jetway & parked in whats called hard stand position ?  Also the heat or Air Conditioning hose could be seen attached to the aircraft form the jetway ??

Will that possibly be available soon ??

IAH for sure. I always wanted IAH to be done. It'll bring back memories while i interned for an airline based there back in 2010.

Here's an update for yaw'll to read about Concourse B which is Continental Express / United/Continental Express gate B south COncourse work being done to make it more upto date look..  I like the update look, but in way I'll miss the circled oval terminal.  Remember them last time I was in Houston which has been way too long, like in the 90's going through IAH to BRO.. However gotta move on & it looks very nice & newer more modern like.. With that glass front look which will be nice to see FSDT add the glass texture to it.. As well as the E terminal has glass front..
