Hi Guys,
I'm a customer and been lurking a while. Just had to register to say this is looking outstanding. Also have to say how glad I am it's FS9 friendly. I was one who was really anticipating FSX, but the demo and other screen shots soured my enthusiasm real fast. To me, it seems the autogen is a real killer, which I just don't understand, since they had it working so well in FS9. Not real fond of the spotted look of the textures either. And I'm so sick of fanboy's making excuses for it and how it's so wonderful. Granted, it's got potential, but wonderful it ain't. :evil: It's great to see some honest opinions here.

Cheers
Awol

Unfortunately, you're up against the massive FS giraffe lobby on this one. I wouldn't get too sore about it...you had a good run.

I apologize for me popping in, but English not being my native language,
what does ROFL mean?
Best, M.D.

Hi guys,

I hate to be a party pooper but I was just in St Maarten two weeks ago and the airport has been completely remodeled. It hs jetways and everything now and it looks very similar to Schipol airport.

I only have one picture of the airport and you can only see the jetways

http://www.spanglishlife.com/gallery/v/ ... 4.JPG.html

I have more pictures at http://www.spanglishlife.com/gallery/v/stmaarten/
but these are only of planes landing. I could provide pictures of the new airport if necessary as I now have a customer there that I have to visit every 2-3 months (I live in Puerto Rico). I also visit a customer in St Kitts if interested in pictures of St. Kitts Robert L Bradshaw airport.

Forgot to mention... it is indeed great work and everything looks very close to the real thing, the only problem is that the airport is completely changed. Did you put in there the Sunset Beach Bar? Its this bar right next ot the beach where everybody hangs out to spot the planes and the put the schedules on a surfboard.

Try looking at both preview threads, it was mentioned somewhere that the scenery will include the new terminal. :wink:
