This guy is hilarious or just plain stupid, he disapproves most requests which is okay he can give his opinion, but then he gives his "most logical sceneries"Guy101 wrote:Dont really want to join in and pester the FT team, but lets just think about this logically. I've noticed a few of you asking for sceneries of airports which i've never heard of, so they must be local airports, for FT to make any significant profit, they need to do a scenery which appeals to a wide range of simmers, from around the world, not just where you live.
Some of the sceneries which have been mentioned need not be requested.
Bangkok VTBS - siamavsim is already near completion of VTBS 2008, and if you dont know who siamavsim is, they made the original VTBS 2006 freeware scenery which is now on avsim. So VTBS is crossed of the list.
Beijing - The screenshots above show a well in production scenery of Beijing intl so thats crossed of the list.
Hong Kong VHHH - Thomas Kwong has made a fantastic freeware, and i really dont think FT needs to do anouther version of VHHH, Thomas Kwongs version has very good textures, good buildings and its AES compatible. So thats crossed of the list.
Milan Malpensa - Similar situation to VHHH, amazing freeware scenery, AES compatible and did i mention its free? crossed of the list.
Toronto - There is a pretty decent freeware scenery of Toronto intl on avsim, its got decent textures, its AES compatible and its free, wouldnt it make sense to do anouther canadian airport? crossed of the list.
New York JFK - FSDreamTeam is doing it, simple as, its gunna be amazing, so why request FT to do it? crossed of the list.
Singapore - DING DING DING! we have a winner. Changi is in desperate need of a remake, Samsofts version is showing its age, and its very heavy on FPS, not to mention Changi has changed a lot since samsoft released their version. We have a candidate.
Vancouver - Anouther choice, there is a freeware scenery on avsim, but lets face it, its not very good, so vancouver is a candidate.
Las Vegas - It doest appeal to me, but, its in need of a remake, no scenery shows the airports glory. Anouther candidate.
Amsterdam - Cloud9's scenery is showing its age, and its a FPS monster, but, the scenery will do for now, so its not vital that its remade. Mind you, Aerosoft seems to be shooting european airports out frequently, and considering they've done heathrow, madrid, lisbon, and there about to do paris and stockholm, im sure amsterdam is on their mind.
Seoul - There is a freeware out, and its not amazing quality, so i guess seoul is candidate aswell.
Tokyo - I take it were talking about Narita, for me, it is in need of an upgrade. Overland's version of Narita is looking dated, and has terrible ground textures, so its a candidate.
Kansai - Doesnt need to be requested, overlands version is very good, the only negative is the ground textures which are quite bad to be honest.
Auckland - Im very suprised through my searches that noone has mentioned auckland intl airport, a major airport, which has only one scenery remake which was originally designed for FS2002 and is VERY dated. Clearly a candidate.
Other airports in the UK like Manchester and Gatwick are fine, UK2000 is doing a remake of Manchester, and Gatwick extreme is a decent scenery.
So the most logical sceneries which should be considered are:
1.Singapore Changi
2.Auckland
3.Tokyo Narita
4.Vancouver
5.Las Vegas
6.Seoul
However much i, and almost all of you want your request to be accepted and have the scenery of your choice be made, we all need to realise that its down to FT and what they decide THEY want to do.
So lets give them a break.

1. Singapore Changi (which is already "well" represented by Samsoft, Guy101's own standards of a good scenery that doesn't needs to be re-created)
3. Tokyo Narita (Oh VHHH and Malpensa are not out of date, just Narita?!)
5.Las Vegas (Already represented by Symflyers [which by your VTBS 2006, Toronto standards, Symflyers Vegas is awesome!])
Let FT choose a good money marker for them and a fun city with international presence for us simmers!
And definitely it wouldn't be so hard to force you to buy us the great computers that would eat the crappy FSX. See how simple we can make life as you do.skydvdan wrote: Your logic is a little off. Remember that there are two sims to choose from these days. You seem to pretty much just be speaking for the FS2004 guys. Personally I don't care what comes next because I know either way it'll be a quality product. Again, personally I think developers like FT are being generous by building for two sims. It wouldn't be hard to force people to upgrade to FSX by designing solely for it. Twice the work you know. Somehow I doubt Hong Kong would have taken 14 months to build if Martin didn't have to design two of them. Just a thought.
