  1. Why "those guys" and not "these guys". Cal Lewin is fully responsible for both old Simflyers KATL and new Imaginesim KATL.

    See, I knew nothing of this. You larns sumpin new ever day, I guess.

    I never had the SimFlyers KATL, just PHX and LAS. I also never was able to correspond with anybody from SimFlyers other than a guy named Wolfgang who was somewhat less than helpful. I suppose I should have read the credits or guessed that people with that kind of talent and ability would not go quietly and would probably pop up some other place.

    Too bad Cal can't do anything about making PHX and LAS available for AES. Yeah, I know............I know.

  2. But that's OK - I have waited for more than 8 years since initial release of Simflyers ATL for FS2000.

    Poor SimFlyers. Those guys were artists. Their scenery is so pretty. I've seen some stuff in their sceneries I haven't seen in anyone else's. But the agony to that ecstacy is that it will never have AES (^*#^@%!) so that leaves Las Vegas and Phoenix sitting there like the proverbial bird in the gilded cage. :(

  3. Will KATL be AES enabled right away? I hope so. I will definately try for that one as soon as it comes out. I have Cincinatti and just bought Portland, which is a beautiful airport model and AES enabled.

    I suppose I'm going to have to break down and get PDX too. I've got Seattle and San Francisco. There's a nice flight......in either direction, but landing in Seattle is really cool. Some of the best scenery I've seen. I did a replay once after a landing on 16C and docking with (yay!) AES just to see if i wasn't bringing my PSS 757 in with the nose too high (I wasn't) and spent most of the replay in chase mode. Wow. Boy, that scenery is just spectacular. And watching the whole AES thing unfold from beginning to end is just coolness at its coolest. Heh

  4. ....I really enjoy it and always look forward to getting to an AES enabled airport (which I'm getting more and more of).

    Oh, I'm way worser. I'm starting to not even want to go into an airport that doesn't have AES. That's why I keep whining about LAX getting it. I figure that as soon as they come out with KATL, I'll get that and then KJFK when those guys that are doing that one get it out in the frying pan. In the meantime, I'm probably going to add DEEEtroit and then maybe, Charlotte, Boston and Cin.................cinatti! That oughtta keep me outta the bars.........and out from behind them too. :)

  5. PSS went belly-up...Nyahh nyahh nyahh :P

    Yeah, I know they did......those dorks. :angry:

    Seriously, I liked PSS alright and have almost all of their planes, but they do not have anywhere near as many features as Captain Sim's Block F. This is a new sim that is loaded with features, where PSS is out of business and won't be improving on theirs any more.

    Yes, I know that too. But I bought the CS 757 two years ago. It didn't have a 2D throttle panel then and it ain't got one now. I know a lot of folks fly with the 3D panel but I am in the out crowd there. So, I wait 2 years (that's T W O) and they come out with the Block F and want another 30 beans for it. Phooey. They can have all their buttons and whistles. The PSS is a ball for ME to fly and it works just fine for me too, thankyewverrahmuch.

    To ME<<<< CS is as much of a loss as AES is an absolute jewel. :D

    The above is the unsolicited opinion of Mike Phyrio and has nothing to do with any form of what is popularly known as reality.

  6. Ummmmmmm......Is Oliver on a well deserved vacation? I haven't seen a post by him in awhile now. Usually he's everywhere at once.

    Okay. Oliver, when you get back, I'm here wheedling again. :blink:

    ImagineSim is just about to release their new scenery for Atlanta. Sometime in May, they say. I expect it will be on a par, if not superior, to their other products which have been delightful.

    So, of course, the question is: when will AES make it even better?? Is that planned....I didn't see anything in the update at the top there. Only took a week after FSDT popped KORD out the door.

  7. I was under the impression that you made those yourself. I mean, I spent some time getting those gates just exactly where I wanted them when I first got the program. I was moving those little green things in and out, up and down and moving my view from place to place till they were spot on the dime.

    AES is just the best there is. Period. :D

  8. Hiya Oliver!

    Great stuff!!!! An AES forum all to itself!!

    I posted on the FSDT forum about AES for C9's LAX and got this from Virtuali:

    ..........That scenery was done almost entirely by Alessandro, our scenery designer, when he was employed by Cloud9. So, while it's true that scenery copyrights and support responsibility are Cloud9's, it's also true that whatever update might come, it will be done by him anyway, just like EHAM update for AES.

    It's just that KLAX needs a little bit more work comparing to EHAM to support AES but, as far as we are concerned, it should come.

    This is promising. Now, if somebody will give me Allesandro's address, I will bribe him with delicious cookies.

    Mike
