Hmmm...FlyTampa...Tampa, FL. Now I wonder why they did a thing like that???

(Sarcasm is good faith

)

Most the airports that Fly Tampa has done, or a lot of the older freeware scenery AMERICAN aiports are out of date. (Im not saying ALL of them, but a good number...etc seattle, tampa so on so forth, as well as other payware sceneries too) We need to see sceneries that look like CRAP in FS9 (or for you FSX lovers out there) And no, I am not gonna request any, cause chances are it wont be done.

But look at how many Aerosoft has made for Europe. FlyTampa is pretty much the only ones working for us here in America. (Well, and ImagineSim.) And then there's Overland for Japan and VOZ for Australia and Tropicalsim for South America and for Africa... well, you guys are out of luck unfortunately. But, if not for FlyTampa then what would we have here in America? How many airports do we have quality representations for? Look at all the airports here that we don't have either quality versions for or any at all. (ie: Pittsburgh, Philidelphia, Atlanta, DFW, Houston(George Bush Intercontinental, Hobby), Minneapolis, Baltimore, Kansas City, Lambert-St. Louis, JFK, Memphis, and Salt Lake City International. All of these have been requested here at one point or another. FlyTampa is U.S. based so it only makes sense that they make more U.S. airports than other places. The same as Aerosoft being German based...mostly European airports. So let's not steal away the little bit of talent that we have from the U.S.

Agreed, with the end of OSS and Simflyers, the pool of US airport designers has dried up pretty badly. Even FlyTampa is down to one developer so in reality the situation is even worse. I hope FT's next project is something stateside.

Okay, what are the quality freeware packs for the above airports?

Well there is this awesome airport and photoscenery of Tucson done by a bunch of punks (lol, just joking) at C130 Sim. The Toronto (CYYZ) on Avsim is only lacking some AES to make it exceptional (IMHO). The old Vancouver which has like a thousand version updates is pretty good (no jetways LODs gives it average frames). If William Morgan [FRF Studios] didn't use the default/RE Pro ramp and taxiways textures his airports would be the most downloaded but his work is still very much appreciated (His JFK is what I use). There is also a freeware KCVG on Avsim done by Jim Campisi which very nice. There are more but it seems like the freeware market is drying up rapidly in the airport scenery sector.

I hate those punks at C130sim they get under my skin.

But seriously there really isn't much great freeware for the big airports. I'd say the best one in existance is George's Boston as airports go.

I know I have probabaly the best Atlanta scenery there is out there right now from the frame-rate-friendly studio. Also Blueprint simulations just came out with Louisville, KY which I just bought and looks a hell of a lot better than the default. So I guess there are a few options out there left. But like I have said, start sendin you pics to imaginesim or what not. That would be your best bet.

pancv3.zip FRF, Avsim.

Looks pretty good now. I compared it too google earth. Seems everything is pretty well in place. Much better.

Those 2 C130sim guys are jack asses if you ask me, but what do I know.
On a different note, there used to be a local sketch comedy show called "Almost Live" that always made fun of Boeing, I searched youtube and found several bits from it, but no Boeing ones.
