FSX-MS FlyTampa Amsterdam announced!

[avgaskoolaid 292]

Several days ago, FlyTampa announced Amsterdam, presumably for FSX and P3D. According to their forum, it is planned for a 2015 release. I'm personally very, very excited for this. Hopefully they'll be able to find a way to get around the performance issues that plague AMS (related to the number of taxiways). With this and the Aerosoft V2 on the way, along with the NL2000 freeware version, we will really be spoiled for choice when it comes to EHAM.

Great, the Aerosoft EHAM is a bit dated, may try the V2 first since Fly Tampa can be system demanding if anything like their awesome CYYZ.

Think FT had better fix their CYYZ before I would even consider any other product.  If you can't fly heavy metal in there at reasonable setting, what's the point?

I hope it will be flyable unlike Aerosoft's EHAM, it's more like a slideshow than a game.

For a highly detailed airport like their latest CYYZ, I find it manageable and definitely no worse (performance wise) than FSDT stuff. When it comes to FSX, if you want eye candy, there has to be a compromise. I am also very impressed with their airport configurator that allows you to try some compromises before Changing your graphics sliders.

I was expecting YSSY to be on their list. No good YSSY yet (In FSX)

Looks like it's being done by Emilios, who also did FT Copenhagen and Thessaloniki X, published by Aerosoft. Basically I learned my VAS management from him after purchasing LGTS.  

 

Both LGTS and EKCH are very enjoyable, so EHAM should become another good one.

I am very excited about this too.

I guess it's inevitable that there will be times when two or more airport developers will be working on the same airport at the same time, but I can't help thinking that it's a waste of valuable development time when there are so many other large airports around the world that have never seen the light of day in FSX/P3D.

Have you installed their LITEX package?.....they say if you have any plane addon (specificlaly PMDG and Aerosoft) that its recommended. Their config tool also has several options to get it flyable.

I was going to say what happened to Sydney

Try it with FSX-SE.  The other day I flew into there from LFPG -- and with 100% MyTrafficX traffic (aircraft all over the place, lovely!) -- then, after parking, unloading pax and reloading, out to Aerosoft's EGLL, and never saw any stutters or framerates less than 25, mostly a lot higher! I was well chuffed I can tell you! ;-)

 

I've deliberately been flying to/from all these intense airports in order to prove to myself that it really is true, that FSX-SE really does cope well!

 

My next flight will be EGLL to FlyTampa's EKCH. Maybe tomorrow (Weds).

Well Pete in P3D V2.5 I have with the PMDG 737 or 777 28 till 45 fps on the ground at Heathrow (AS version and never could achieve that in FSX DX10 lol,and more data now)

 

So you see there are more sims out there performing really well on the old base from the FS series of code...

 

Current Amsterdam offering from Aerosoft is one of the worst developed sceneries from a technical standpoint (I'm even very polite here;-))

So I applaud that Fly Tampa is doing Amsterdam my home town (almost lol)  Airport a non brainier when it's released.

Hope YSSY comes out before this as been waiting on that one for years :(

[Paul_Yorks 97]

+1 for a guaranteed buy for FT EHAM.

 

There is currently no version of this airport running anything like a decent framerate.

 

Whereas FT's St Maarten, Kai Tak and Dubai are frankly amazing - so I have great hopes for a new Amsterdam.  Bring it on!
