October 4, 200421 yr I have just examined the demos of Dubai, Miami, and Tampa by Fly Tampa and have the following questions:Note: This is with a high end system and FS9.First of all, let me make it clear that these questions are in no way meant to be a negative reaction to what I have seen. I have most of the series 1 SimFlyer airports and am very impressed with what I am seeing by Fly Tampa. A bit pricey compared to some others, but may be well worth it from my brief observation. I just need a little clarification.1. Do the Jetway Docking Stations retract in any way? I saw nothing regarding this in the demo download documentation and by experimentation was unsuccessful.2. I see a great deal of ground vehicles (Utility trucks etc.) in motion at Tampa and Dubai, but none at Miami. I did see the monorail or tram in motion, but all of the ground vehicles were motionless, some with lights flashing. Did I just not wait long enough, or are the ground vehicles motionless at the Miami airport? Miami did beat Tampa on frame rates a bit and I thought this might have been part of the reason. Dubai had fantastic frame rates which just about doubled in comparison.3. With the current downloads, are all up to date upgrades and afcad files installed, or do I need to download and install the separate files offered? I could not determine whether these other files were for older versions or for all.4. Are there any flashing or flickering problems with the apron, taxi strips, or runways (not lights, just surfaces)? This has been a big problem to me with some of my other addon airport scenery with gaps and center lines that come and go.5. For anyone who has all or several of the Fly Tampa airports, do you have an opinion as to which are the best? I feel sure that the new KSFO will probably be one of the favorites but don't know that a track record has been established yet. Screenshots sure are impressive. Just would like to know what you think of what you have got before I pull out the credit card.6. One edit question: If you fly VatSim, at which of the Fly Tampa locations do you find the most ATC support?Thanks all:RTH
October 4, 200421 yr 1.)Pretty sure the jetways don't dock to your planes like simflyers if im correct. Martin describes this on his website.2.) I can't help you with Miami but at San Diego there are no moving vehicles. There a lots of vehicles with lights and men on the ground assisting with parking at the gates.3.) I believe that there are updates for all of the airports except KSAN...that u can download after you install the scenery. http://flytampa.com/downloads.html4.) There hasn't been any flashing for me...But i can't speak for everyone else...The ground textures are superb and so is the runway..i doubt you will have a problem.5.) I personally like san diego and dubai...One because i live in san diego and i love the surroundings and the approach. Dubai is a great scenery...many details...a lot of heavies go in and out of there...6.) I don't fly vatsim so i cant help u there
