Best scenery dev out there in my opinion.

No doubt about it.
My dream is they will do some European airports one day too (Frankfurt was so close!).

Mir is certainly very talented at getting the best visuals and complexity and performance out of his work, KSFO, KDEN, now KIAD all have extensive use of dynamic lights, very FPS friendly, looks stunning, and he's relatively local to my residence.

But, there are lots of talented scenery/airport devs across platforms like MisterX6 KABQ. 

All good.

Cheers, Rob.

Absolutely blown away by Flightbeam. First the free KDEN v2 update and now I'm getting the free v2 KIAD. Best scenery dev out there in my opinion.

Yep, I saw the KABQ screenshots, that made me consider moving to XPlane.  Amazing.

KIAD is my home airport and love this scenery.

I wish FlightBeam would have done Atlanta. You can’t beat FB for visuals and performance.

FlyTampa needs to get a manager similar to what Flightbeam came out with along with native v4 installers.

There are only a handful of developers that offer awesome sceneries, fair pricing, and outstanding customer support. Flightbeam is one of them!

I know there working on it but FB is the king of scenery making.

ATL will probably take FT 4 years to complete though.

Wow, KIAD v2 is indeed gorgeous.
Dynamic lighting is fabulous with much less impact on fps than other heavy airports, for a level of detail and perfection never reached before.

Congrats and thanks to the FB team!
