August 26, 20187 yr Nice colors. DD's sceneries and airports shine in XP11. I'm sure that during dusk, Seattle City must look amazing! MSFS
August 26, 20187 yr looks good. I love that second to last shot. | Dave | I've been around for most of my life. There's always a sunset happening somewhere in the world that somebody is enjoying.
August 26, 20187 yr Beautiful shots of DD'S Seattle. I hope they make Las Vegas Someday.

August 26, 20187 yr Excellent images of this likeable city...I love the progressive shots towards the Space Needle between the 3rd (Needle barely seen) and the 8th. Brings back lots of memories...It has been many years, but I stayed near the Space Needle, then, from there, took the train to Pike Place's first (ever) Starbucks store...and watched the cruise-liners pass by, many seen in your pictures...Thanks!

DD always makes scenery for both FSX/P3D and XPlane. As there are currently 2 Las Vegas sceneries in development (from FSDT and Flytampa), a 3rd KLAS from DD would face intense competition and isn't really a safe bet. For XPlane, I would be very surprised if MisterX didn't make KLAS in the future (many of his airports seem to focus on the popular PilotEdge coverage area, which includes Las Vegas).
August 28, 20187 yr The song goes "The Bluest Skies You've ever seen are in Seattle". I have been there a few times since the 70's, once to sing and three times to work. I spend New Year's 2000 watching the Space Needle fireworks on the roof of my client's Best Western hotel which was only a quarter mile away from the Space Needle. Their hotel was part of a big scandal that made the media when a suspected terrorist checked in to their hotel and was caught under suspicion of attacking the Space Needle for Y2K. But I was there after, and felt quite safe in the owners hands and I had a police escort whenever I left the hotel, they were protecting the guests and workers there. The people I met in Seattle will give you the shirt off their backs and I loved flying into Seattle's airport, flying non stop to there from San Francisco and Phoenix, home of Boeing, an aviation enthusiasts dream. I went atop the Space Needle twice, in 1972 and in 1994, just after New Years, the year I met my wife. I was there with several colleagues implementing a system at a Holiday Inn downtown. We worked hard there, our server crashed after we went live and I worked furiously to preserve our client's data, it was a Unix based system. I won the battle, the server kept rebooting and locking but finally I restored a file it was looking for and I could get the data moved to a new server that IBM, just across the street brought in. Even remember the names of my colleagues, Ray Asad, Tina Solorzano and Tara Hinds, I loved Tara most of all, she was our guardian angel and IBM laison. All four of us loved aviation, we were all road warriors criss crossing the US, Canada, Mexico and Europe. John
