March 12, 200620 yr I guess I've become too spoiled with all the current great freeware airports (example: KBOS, Vol.2) and payware airports (Fly Tampa's LOWW and Aerosoft's EDDF). Bought KDTW - and what a waste of money this was:1) Ugly and blocky looking textures - e.g., "square" wheels.2) Why is this airport pink???????3) Miserable performance; a real framerate annihilator. I bought this primarily to take advantage of the recent great freeware NWA repaint for the LDS 767. Guess I'll be relocating Northwest's hub. ricardo
March 12, 200620 yr I like that they provide 1280x1024 screenshots on their site though, makes it easier to decide ;).EDIT: Two violations of our policies in posting that image; first you linked to an image on someone else's site. Second, the image size exceeds the allowed limits. Please don't do that again.Eagle
March 12, 200620 yr >2) Why is this airport pink???????It's pink because just like most people, they need to calibrate their monitor or get to the eye doctor. I would never do any of my commercial photography without it.http://www.colorvision.com/profis/profis_view.jsp?id=601Carmine http://forums.avsim.net/images/wave.gifhttp://img155.imageshack.us/img155/7118/phoenixtp8mg.jpg
March 12, 200620 yr Author I share your disappointment in respect to their products as well. While I have not purchased DTW, I did get DEN expecting accuracy and completeness. As a whole it's nice but for some reason they left out a boatload of taxiway signs, only 10 or 12 gates have the docking system and the parking signs are on poles as opposed to being on the terminal building. Very difficult to see and not run over if you follow it's guidance. It's the taxiway signs that really get me though. Not bad but they could have done so much better. Probably why I don't own any others from Imaginesim.Jay EklundCAT VI Senior Captain KDENhttp://online.vatsimindicators.net/812321/764.png Jay EKlund UVA/GCVA Pile-it
March 12, 200620 yr I like their KDEN. I dont have those problems because I never park at the gate. Although the cargo and GA ramps could use some more life in them. But its too bad about the taxi way signs. have they released an update for this?I dont have any other airport of theirs though, Ive been thinking about MSY
March 12, 200620 yr Author Not that I'm aware of and didn't really get any indication that anything more would be forthcoming in my correspondence with them.Jay EklundCAT VI Senior Captain KDENhttp://online.vatsimindicators.net/812321/764.png Jay EKlund UVA/GCVA Pile-it
