May 28, 20206 yr It looks very nice. But man. Why can't they just dust off JFK first? You could argue it's their most important one up there with LAX and ORD. ORD has been updated. They've lost a few to other developers over the past few years. I would be protecting LA and NY! 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next

Announcement of MSFS put the kibosh on the planned work to KLAX and KJFK. The last thing mentioned was that there would be an attempt at joint releases for P3D and MSFS for both airports.

A "quick update" would probably be: a) not that quick, and b) received by many as a cash grab. Known as one of the better quality developers, I think it would hurt their image if they went for a quick 'n dirty now. Doesn't make it easier to have to continue waiting for updates to two of the most popular airports though. P.S. Welcome to the 1,000 posts club!

May 28, 20206 yr hah. Had no idea. Thanks! For what it's worth. I'd gladly pay. In fact I'm almost surprised a 3rd party hasn't come up with a mod of the scenery to fix a couple of the terminals. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next

There was a further announcement today:https://www.facebook.com/182761862226524/posts/872310786604958/ That was deemed newsworthy by the pre-eminent Flight Sim news site, who dedicated a new article to it, which was referenced by the OP. Whether you believe it's newsworthy or not isn't for debate. They decided it was. And some wonder why this site has a poor reputation with a significant number of flight simmers...

May 29, 20206 yr Actually looks pretty ugly to me. First pic has some terrible landclass roads right near the airport and the water masking near the runway looks very non-realistic. Second picture shows some pretty good taxiway textures but otherwise unimpressive - how about some grass or something in your promo shot? Someone needs to do a decent photoreal rendition of Hawaii a la TrueEarth.  Failing that, FSDT really should do something about the terrain, masking and objects around the airport, just like we see from a lot of other top-tier developers these days.

May 29, 20206 yr Any reason why this would generate so much expectation, you know, with ORBX Honolulu..?
May 29, 20206 yr ORBX Honolulu was the Island of Oahu, not the airport. Sure PHNL got a mild ADE makeover, but it was still nothing compared to FSDT PHNL. i7-13700KF, 32gb DDR4 3200, RTX 4080, Win 11, MSFS 2024
