June 27, 20232 yr Fantastic. FT was taking far too long with their version so it’s great to see others enter the fray.

June 27, 20232 yr That is great news! Now if it is anything like Toronto, Fly Tampa should release YUL by early next week! 🙂 Fly Tampa and Flightbeam are remarkable scenery developers but it is really taking them much, much, much too much time to release some of these larger airports, major hubs, that many of us would like to have a solid rendition of in the sim. I don't actually need Flightbeam quality, just an accurate layout, well modeled and textured product. I wish someone would also take on SFO, the last major United hub without a payware rendition.

June 27, 20232 yr Think I'm off of FT, they spend too much time doing interiors and it just kills performance. At least make it an option.

Isn't it funny how at the sceneries from the better developers where you can turn off their interiors, there's not that much difference overall in performance. It's almost as if how a developer optimises their entire scenery for MSFS results in good performance, rather than simply 'iNtErIoRs ArE bAd!' 4 hours ago, micstatic said: FSimStudios will be doing this one.

June 28, 20232 yr Interested to see how this turns out. Like others, I love FlyTampa but they are really taking way too long to release some of their products.

FlightBeam has been working on KSFO for a long while and should be their next release. Mir is a perfectionist so I am sure it will be worth the wait...

I'd cut them some slack for taking long.

I can understand that, I just want other developers to move forward and create versions of these airports. I would rather have a decent quality airport to use than a perfectionist version later on; so I am happy Fsimstudios jumped forward and made CYUL and did not ignore it with the idea that FlyTampa will eventually release it.

June 28, 20232 yr I also have mixed feelings about this... FS developers 'claim' a scenery by making an announcement. A 'recent' example is the announcement of David Rosenfeld with LIMC (Milan Malpensa) about a years ago. But since the announcement it is quiet... In the past this was mostly accepted. But with the newer platforms a lot of new devs came in and created whatever they like... Good for the competition, especially when a dev like FlyTampa takes years to complete a project. On the other hand you see devs rushing to get their scenery out first. We have seen 3 versions of LFSB (Basel) for instance. Also JustSim is known for bringing out airports a bit quicker when there is competition. But when you buy a product of them don't expect any support... Another example: Orbx did a EGLC v1 which was lacking. Numerous requests for fixes, but silence. UK2000 announces the release of an up-to-date EGLC and boom there is an Orbx v2. And the same thing; a lack of support when i.e. asking for simple things like the support of default ground vehicles. I see two trends; devs are rushing out scenery more and after release support is lacking a lot... Another example is RDPresets who respond on issues that they rather focus on new sceneries than fixing existing ones... I hope things will settle down and quality prevails, also in support...
