[Guest heclak]

why does ms like to link their multiplayer to gamespy? wouldn't it be faster to have their own server?

[Guest jgreth123]

Since my consolidated screenshot thread got locked no one got to handle my request :(I live in Memphis and have worked at the airport for a few years. Can anyone post a few shots of the airport ( FedEx main hub + main terminal ) and the city ( I just wanna see downtown structures + the big structures on the east side of the city ( look for a major highway loop that is just north of the airport, head east from there, when it bends back north take a few pictures of that general area ).There's never been a decent quality version of Memphis Intl done which is sad because it's the #1 cargo airport in the world ( thanks to FedEx ). Plus in FS9 the area looked nothing like the real city.Thanks in advance.

Jeff,MEMPHIS - KMEM and Surroundings....(Note that I did not in-line attach the images - click to open so as to not overwhelm people trying to load this thread)Can't say I remember what it looked like in FS2004, but here's Memphis in FSX...

Ive been playing around in MP but I dont think so. You have to end the flight to change MP host.That is a real shame!Surely it couldnt be that hard for FSX to let you choose another host while flying.Come on ACES, the MP is great but people want to be stuck flying around the airport hosting the MP session.

[Guest JuiceRabbit]

Agreed these MP sessions sure are fun! :)

Just did a Thai flight from Phuket (VTSP) to Bangkok (VTBD).The new detailed coastlines are just great. Fantastic improvement. :-jumpyBut I noticed that the mesh detail seems to be the same as FS9 (ie 1km). Is this just because the beta doesnt have hires mesh except for USA?I would expect that the final release would be using SRTM 76m for most of the world.Can anyone confirm this?

You are probably viewing the forum in linear mode Jeff, I view it in threaded mode, replies makes sense that way. :)
