If I can't fly at my home airport...

Featured Replies

I've done some flying in the current Hawaii scenery and it's like flying at a holiday destination. I for one am having a good time!Small airports had very little detail in FSX, even if there where lot of GA-planes, so detailed smaller airports in Hawaii... very good IMHO!People at the forum, facebook etc seems to want everything and they want it _now_. I think a little patience wouldn't hurt as we know Flight was released early.But except exotic destinations, where do people like to fly? In FSX... often at their home airport!So when I probably won't get to fly there because the scenery areas will be limited...If I can't fly at my home airport the second best thing would be to fly in some familiar terrain.I think many people would like to fly at places that they can relate to... people from Europe would like to fly in European-type terrain, I don't see many Japanese here but they'd probably want to fly in some Asian terrain. Americans ... they have many types of terrain but some reminds them more of their home airport.A good way to decide what terrains that people might want would be to look at the different types of autogen in FSX. European, US, Asia and so on.Even if I can't fly excatly where I live... for Europe then for example south Germany and the alps would be a good representation of Europe. You got the farmlands and mountains and a big city (Munich). (But there's some excellent third party scenery to FSX for that area to compete with, so maybe UK, with both farmlands, cities and mountains to the north could be better.)US is huge so Americans probably would deserve at least three more sceneries., representing east coast terrain, west coast terrain and plains... alltough the plains might be boring to fly (except for tornados!) If you got those you probably could find a place that reminds you of _your_ home area.So to sum things up, all just my opinion... I think people would like to fly in familiar terrain.As it happens I live in scandinavia, so Alaska terrain was almost spot on for what I'm used to see. If Alaska turns out well, I can move my weekly Sunday flight from FSX to MS Flight :)-

It would be nice to think that Flight will soon get some scenery areas that are not in the US - however the only folks who know are the Flight Team and they are not saying............

I find my Northern European home country extremely boring place to live, thats why I fly in Southeast Asia all time, mainly in Thailand where I have been 2 times myself and will go third time soon. I hope I could move there permanently some day.

I'd love to see them do the UK! By area it's a manageable size for them, as the whole of the UK is only 243500 square miles - Alaska is some 600000! As you say it's got mountains and cities and has some very well known and distinctive landmarks!

Well said Tom! There is so much history and so many distinctive landmarks in England that I would LOVE to see it modeled.
