Why not ?
From a technical standpoint it makes a perfect sandbox, surrounded by mountains. With the preformance issues that plague FSX you couldn't build a city like this in most areas and still have acceptable fps, and the FS9 version has outstanding fps with complex planes and all sliders maxed.
Martin has said long ago he makes stuff that is instersting and fun to him, that is why KLAX was never done but Dubai was.
to arrive at such a great representation of an airport, one must depart from either freeware in the region (give or take several payware that are not near the quality of FT) or from far away lands of which you would have to do a fuel stop at a freeware airport (lack of realism, following??
So you are saying that the only airports that FlyTampa should make need to be close to the other ones they've made ? What about Dubai or LOWW ?
and lets be honest...percentage of flight simmers that sit in front of their computer for 14 hours at a time enroute..no (or maybe they go do laundry or go to work...again lack of realism).
What about flights from Tawain, Japan, Bejing ?
Do you limit yourself to flights only at high quality add ons ?
The ability now to make whole cities if they chose is a ART, one that i feel would have been more welcomed into any real world active airport
Again, from a performance standpoint the number of places this is possible is very limited.
maybe i sound like i am ranting, well i am...My limited FS dollars might very well be directed elsewhere (KJFK maybe, i am from Buffalo KBUF so was wholeheartedly wishing for FT
So what you are really saying is you wanted KBUF or something close to your home base. I understand that, I want KSEA for FSX, but I'm not going to wish my life away waiting for it.
