Posted: Fri Aug 01, 2008 5:27 pmI'm posting this here because I can't think of anywhere else - and it is a review, in a sense.
I stripped out all my AI and have been re-installing it worldwide over the last week or so.
Of course one does have to check it all out, so I called in at a couple of dozen random airports to see.
Actually, all are AES-equipped, which is essentially a must-have.
Did you know these are viewable on a Google Earth plug-in?
Makes life much easier...
370 airlines
1,900 aircraft
10.000 Flight Plans
72,000 voicepack files
Having taken 1,000 screenshots, as you do, I thought I'd string a few of them together to show the state of the art.
It's all a bit slow, and if you don't like Carol King, skip this...
But if you do look, keep in mind, everything here has been made by somebody.
Amazing.
Check out the Previous State of the Art at 2:45 - wow we've come a long way.
And the Gold Banana to the person who identifies the airport at 4:00
Still here?
OK in the next clip, what airport at 0:50?
And last, a quickie closer to home, with a bit of appropriate Cat Stevens music:
You can understand my infatuation with FS9 can't you?
It just keeps getting better in this department...
So, hats off to all the many people who put in their time and enormous collective talent to create moving scenery for the pleasure of the flightsim community.
