It's probably too soon to be asking, but does anyone know which airports and cities will be "detailed"? As well, will Toronto finally be updated to take into account the construction of the new terminal (T1 and Infield) and the move of the cargo facilities to the infield?If anyone knows, I'd love an answer.Thanks!Bill

I've already started a thread on this. Never got an answer...Hope you fare better than me on this one... :-)

Didn't they say that there was 1200 of them?

>Didn't they say that there was 1200 of them?Not quite that many ;)Here's the details from the FSX website.Standard Edition * 2 DVD * 18 airplanes * 40 high-detail airports (16 new to Flight Simulator) * 28 high-detail cities * 30+ structured missions Deluxe Edition Deluxe Edition * 2 DVD * 24 airplanes * 45 high-detail airports (21 new to Flight Simulator) * 38 high-detail cities * 50+ structured missions * Glass panel (G1000) cockpit * Tower controller

Let's try this again shall we:"does anyone know which airports and cities will be "detailed"?"

I can think of a few, but what is the total list of highly detailed airports and cities in FS9?RH

The 1200 was from flightsim.com:"FSX will contain 24,000 airports internationally with 1200 being highly detailed due to popularity."http://www.flightsim.com/cgi/kds?$=main/feature/fsx1.htmWhat that means is anyones guess. :)

Well I hope 1200 is the answer there. That sure sounds better than 45 airports. So what is it really? There seems to be 2 answers.

I might be wrong as well, but from what I remember from the articles I have read, the number 1200 people are refering to had to do with gated Airports. There are 1200 airports with gates. Maybe Tdragger can elaborate on the numbers that has been discussed in this thread.:-wave :DI have not seen any list reagarding what airports will be very detailed, but I have read that there will be "popular" airports (whatever that means) that will be on this list.:-)

Any idea if airports like KSNA or KSAN will be detailed this time around? I kinda would like KSAN because there is already KSNA scenery that is freeware in the library. KSAN hasn't ever been detailed in freeware versions. Fly Tampa's KSAN is the only detailed one so far. Both however would still be great.

Correct. 1200-ish with gates and moving jetways but with generic buildings. The smaller number are the ones with specifically modelled buildings.

I'm trying to guess...The ones in FS2004:London LHRParis CDGAmsterdamNY JFKAtlantaMiamiChicagoPhoenixDenverDFWLas VegasAnchorageLos AngelesSan FranciscoSeattleSt. MaartenTokyoHong KongSydneyPlusRome FCO (I think I've seen it somewhere... it was a screenshot)Frankfurt/MainBerlin TXLStockholmManchesterMadridViennaZurichAthensBostonWashington IADDetroitTorontoHoustonMexico CitySao Paulo (Brazil)HonoluluOsaka KIXSeoul ICNShangai PudongTaipei Chiang Kai ShekMelbourneAucklandKuala LumpurMumbai

Plus Copenhagen Oslo Trondheim

There are 123 detailed areas listed in the FSX scenery folders.No way to know for sure if they are airports or cities without visiting them.Some like Indianapolis, Knoxville, TN and San Antonio have very small files - 100-300 KB - which would be only a few buildings - not an entire airport. I'd expect the Alamo in San Antonio.Some like Chelan, MortonWA and OahuTL are probably thermals for glider flying.Some with a lot more free time than me is going to have to sit down and look at each in detail.The numbers on the FSX website say 83 detailed cities and airports - so that will leave about 37 moderately enhanced cities or airports.But also remember that airports like Geneva have been signficantly upgraded with its round satellite terminals - so even if it is not a detailed airport - it is still one heck of a lotbetter than FS2004.Toronto Pearson has a lot of custom buildings - there is a commuter terminal between 15R/33L and 15L/33R - what looks like an ACA maintenance hanger and another parking area near a tall block like building - all between the 15/33 runways. There is also a construction area on the east end of that center area near 06L/24R.There are three cargo spots near the takeoff end of Rwy 05 and one near the L shaped building near the other end of the same runway. Everyone has to remember - if the runways or buildings or new areas were not COMPLETE by April 2005 - it will most likely not be in FSX.
