Imaginesim's KATL is so good...I dunno having 2 same payware airports is a good idea, it dilutes the market share....aka less money for everyone

 

The way things are going you will have 2-3 or more versions of the same airport in MSFS in a few years, I have not purchased any for MSFS.

What a way to treat loyal customers who have been buying from them for many years. 🙄

How hard could it have been to give a status update every now and then? Or at least say anything AT ALL about this project?

It’s good but not so good. Flytampa is on a significantly higher level in terms of textures and lighting. Check out Boston and Las Vegas

Finally someone from the team has confirmed that the project has been cancelled:

Thanks @Tim-HH    Although the answer is depressing.  Atlanta to me is the most important one in my simulator.  So I was looking forward to this.  Wonder if FT has any surprises for the positive up their sleeve, or if their plan is to release the same P3D airports for MSFS?

Extremely disappointing. Another developer that just isn't the same as before. Our hobby keeps changing...

Agree Tony.  We all want different things but I'm bummed out by this.  Seems like all the ones I'd love to see done by the best devs using modern techniques never get done.  I look at certain airports I own, but am disappointed in.  EWR, DFW, LAX, JFK are examples.  I guess we will never know how far along their atlanta scenery was, or if it was just a "no trespassing" like marker to keep others away from redoing it.

I think the best case now at this point is they do it for MSFS.

We need Emilio to release EHAM 2.0!

As stated by many of us:

 

1.  FlyTampa really did a poor job in keeping us updated during this 3 year process - then just cancelled it.  Feels like when my girlfriend dumped me just as I bought the engagement ring - I mean honey you waited 3 years to tell me you were a lesbian!!

2.  I think the P3D users like me have been pushed aside by the big MSFS bully as far as developers go.  I do have MSFS loaded, but I NEVER use it. I love my P2D V5 with all the airports and PMDG / QW planes.  But someday I'll make the switch.

Wait...wait...do you see the "opportunity" here......lol

 

Honestly, I figured that Flytampa's KATL won't get released due to Imaginesim releasing it early on.  Even today, I never buy the second airport from a developer if I have a good airport from the first developer.  I truly hope EHAM v2.0 is released or universal installer, current method to install is just flat out dumb.

I don’t think everybody agrees with you. An airport as important as Atlanta I’ll buy 3 different versions if it means I’ll have the best.

Since I exclusively fly Delta liveries on all my jets, this news is disappointing.
