Is anyone working on this? The city just completed the new Saint Petersburg Pier which is right beside Albert Whitted Airport. We have the Sunshine Skyway Bridge which now lights up in colors at night. There is Tampa International Airport and Saint Pete Clearwater airport as well. Howard Frankland and Gandy Bridges in Tampa Bay.

Sure would be nice to see some scenery upgrades of this stuff flying around this beautiful area...

FlyTampa should be ashamed of themselves. 😀

They should consider a name change.

I tell it like it is. They will update many of their airports, but the one that made them famous, they'll leave till the end.

BTW, Verticalsim Studios did a version of Tampa for XP. Maybe he will jump on board.

They have also a version of Plant City for MSFS 2020.

This dev has some of the best airports available for XP.

Patience, it'll happen.  The volume of scenery coming out is amazing and it's only a matter of time.  I do agree about FlyTampa.  KTPA should be their first priority, interesting it's not...

With KMIA and KMCO close to perfection, KTPA is really a missing link now. Also KATL would be a good launch pad into those. Florida being almost entirely Photogrammetry covered and with perfect Bing data, generally more interesting weather, is really one of the best US areas in the sim.

Add FSDT KEYW. It's a must have at an affordable price.

Yeah if I get greedy, I'd also want KSRQ (my second home), KRSW, KFLL... 

EDIT Also painfully reminds me of the money I dumped into XP11 Florida airports...

Totally agree.  I can see my house perfectly in the sim.  LatinVFR’s KMIA I wouldn’t call perfect, there’s some performance issues he still needs to figure out.  He just did KSAN and the frame rate hit in the area is noticeable.

Obviously you need some performance overhead at payware airports, but KMIA has been butter smooth for me from all angles, I think it's pretty amazing in that regard.
