Piracy from a developer

The whole battle between LatinVFR and Internsim is known through out the flight sim community. At first, I was on the side of LatinVFR. I have seen the products that they can produce, and have yet to see anything of real quality out of Intersim. Junior at Intersim has posted a video that shows some additional information that makes it hard to dispute.

At First, I thought this was something that Junior just needed to let go of, and except the fact that Intersim didn't provide a product that usable to LatinVFR. 

After reading the latest from FlyTampa, I have no choice but begin to rethink what I was thinking about Intersim, and LatinVFR.  George from FlyTampa has posted some interesting information about LatinVFRs recent release Key West International Airport. Here is a qoute from the FlyTampa forum.

"This is an unfortunate post I'd rather not have to deal with publicly. This afternoon a customer emailed me some texture samples from LatinVFRs latest Key west scenery which seemed to be using Flytampa texture assets." 

 The posting does continue on with examples, and another time that this had happened with LatinVFR. Read more and decide for yourself. To buy or not to buy LatinVFR is the question?

FTX / ORBX to no longer make International Airports

From the Forum of FTX, and the post by John Venema (CEO) 


"We decided to not do larger international airports anymore, a while back. They take far too long to make, cost us far too much, and are just not fun to make for the developers anymore. We also won't dumb them down and compromise on our design and authentic detail, that's just not what we do. 

So no KSEA or KPDX, and I doubt other developers will tackle them either given the baseline performance of those two cities.

I should have updated the roadmap page sooner, sorry about that.

Perhaps poll FlyTampa to port their FS9 KSEA using a low-geometry approach? We still plan to revamp downtown Seattle with new building models, and that is a necessary precursor to any large airports going into the area. "


This is very sad news indeed. I am happy for them that they feel FTX can survive with just building cities, and general aviation airfields. At least for some of us long haulers we got YBBN and YMML from them. It is really to bad we never got YSSY from them. Good luck FTX.
And yes, this does mean that they are not going to be making Portland International Airport

FSDreamteam preview of KLAX

FSDreamteam has given us more images to look at from the soon to be released KLAX. In this update we finally get to see how they handled all the constructions at the airport's Tom Bradley International Terminal. Just like all FSDT sceneries, this is looking like it will be worth the wait.

LatinVFR Key West Airport (KEYW) released for FS2004 & FSX

This product is available from Sim-Market.

FSDreamteam KLAX Preview

FSDreamteam has posted several new images of what is most likely to be the most anticipated scenery release in the life of FSX (and FS9 if they can release it with compromising quality). The scenery looks very close to completion, and even includes the new construction currently taking place at the Tom Bradley International Terminal. Judging by the images they have posted, FSDreamteam has really taken realizism in flight sim to a new level. I am not so sure that anyone will be able to match the quality products that they are making.
