Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you buy a scenery can't you use it in both FS9 and FSX with one purshase?

Yes, this is correct, e.g. for Dallas, you pay USD 33 and you get automatically the FS9 and the FSX version. But I don't need the FSX version, so you could also imagine that the prices are as follows:

- getting only the FS9 version: USD 20
- getting only the FSX version: USD 20
- getting the FSX and FS9 version in a value pack: USD 33
- If you own the FS9 version and want to buy the FSX version later, you pay USD 15 for the additional version.

As I am only using the FS9 version, I still don't understand why I should pay for a FSX version that I don't need and that I don't want. This is just a thougt and it's for sure not the main issue for me because I like FSDT's airports and when they are programmed for FS9, I will buy all of them because they are very well done with a lovely eye for the details - so looking forward to the FS9 version of LAX :-).

Kind regards,

Daniel

You got it entirely wrong: pricing for a scenery doesn't have *anything* to do with the number of versions made. What you are paying, is our developing time, which is common because 95% of the dev time is spent in 3DS Max modeling, and in Photoshop making textures. It's only at the very end, that we finally derive the two versions.

So, the price you are seeing is for THE version, and is correct for the developing time spent and the scenery quality. It's developers that are pricing separately, which are tricking you, because their "real" price is the price for a single version, and they are trying to charge twice for what would otherwise be a cheaper product (which it usually shows, you always get what you pay for...), punishing people that use both sims or want to upgrade.

Hmm - quite interesting...
Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Quite frankly I really applaud your 2-for-1 policy! It's not many developers who let customers purchase a scenery and get compatibility for both 'active' sims! :)

Thanks again for all you work. Keep it up! :)

Hi Umberto,

Thanks a lot for this clarification. It seems that I was really wrong and as long as you publish so fantastic airports for FS9, I really don't care if there is also an FSX in the package :-).

Keep on going with the excellent work; looking forward for LAX in FS9.

Kind regards,

Daniel

 :o Nice work, Kappa/Team!  8)

So, do tell, what will your coult engine be doing thats new for this airport?  Are you'll able to make AI taxi in/out of the parking lots or does this airport have some other feature (like Honolulu's Clock) that *needs* some specific code to run?  Also, I take it that this will be done in the *new* way? (i.e. with Wet runway effect, improved shaders, etc.)

PS:  From these shots, it reminds me of the LEGO sets I use to build & play with as a child.  What fun it is to play like a child...  Tell me is it fun for you guys to build these things or is it all just *work*?

Man, LAX ATCT looks great. It's funny, BluePrint announced they are just about to release LAX, what made everyone make LAX at one time? Sheesh!
