I'm planning a freeware project to be released sometime next month. The Top Ten Airport Plateaus in the FSX World is an Airport Terrain Adjustment Package (ATAP) featuring the top ten voted airport plateaus in FSX. And YOU do the voting. I'll take votes until noon May 1, 2010 GMT. At that time, the top ten airports will become the contents of the package.So everyone who uses any type, brand, or sort of terrain mesh addon and would like your top ten airports fixed, go to www.fsgenesis.comand click through the obvious links . . .There will probably be a similar FS2004 product in the future, and those plateaus can be voted on, too, since most plateaus occur in both versions . . . have no definite timetable in mind on FS2004, though.So, go vote! Now!ThanksJT/FSGwww.fsgenesis.com

Hey Justin,It is good to see you. I am sure that your freeware will be just as sought after as your great mesh!Stephen

Thanks Stephen!JT/FSG

Thanks for your years of work, after having the Galaxy membership for many years I decided to purchase your DVD a few months ago as well. Just wanted to say thanks for everything! Looking forward to the next freeware and payware releases.

Can't wait for this add-on.As a Galaxy Member myself, I too love the FSGenesis mesh. Great stuff!!

Thanks everyone for the good mojo . . .The first 104 votes are in as I write this and KSEA, KLAS, KSFO, and KSAN seem to be settling into the top four. Everybody who uses some addon terrain mesh product should be seeing plateaus at lots of airports, and the wider sample we have the more representative the addon will be. I'll be taking votes for the next week--until noon GMT May 1. At that time the top ten airports will be brought into the ATAP production line and released to the community as freeware.Get those votes in. The Top Ten Airport Plateaus in the FSX World:-)jt/fsg

Hello EveryoneAfter two days of voting, with about 1700 votes counted, and 71 total airport voted on, the current tally is:1. KLAS 292. KSEA 16 EGLL 164. KSFO 155. LPMA 136. EGCC 97. LOWI 88. ZLYS 5 EDDF 5 LEMD 5The voting system also allows you to vote against an airport, so certain regions of the world could get more airports into the product just by a vigorous partcipation and voting against other airports. So, the more you vote, and the more you encourage your regional peers to vote, the more likely will be the chance that your favorite aiport will be included in the product. There is likely to be lots of jockeying for position over the next several days.And remember, all voting is anonymous, and most importantly, this is all in freeware and fun.Go go cast your votes!Top Ten Airport Plateaus:+)jt/fsg

it would be nice to concentrate on areas that don't have custom scenery available that fixes the plateau effects

Well SEA, LAX, SFO currently don't have addon scenery

The list looks great IMO and so is the idea! Thanks Justin!

Not exacty the case. Back in 12/08 I uploaded addon scenery to add the new third runway and other revisions to SeaTac (KSEA): http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=131872Then in 12/09 I uploaded a version for users of MegaScenery Earth:http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=141420In addition to that the PNW ORBX scenery includes KSEA with the added third runway.SeaTac does, in fact, sit on a three sided plateau which was extended to the West at great taxpayer expense to make room for the third runway. I made some terrain adjustments to accomodate the third runway in my sceneries as did ORBX in theirs.Al Wheeler
