I grew up, and learned how to fly in Scottsdale. I have been around the world flying with the Navy, and am now on the Florida coast. I love it here, but it is great flying all around the Phoenix / Scottsdale area. I hope the scenery graphics match the aircraft visuals we have seen in the screen shots. I am looking forward to taking off and landing at Scottsdale airport!!

The tower reminds me of the one in Jane's USAF!

Hi

I did see now a lot of screenshots of the upcoming FS2004 and I must say overall I am very satisfied from what I see. I am eagerly waiting for the release and I will be one of the first buyers here in Switzerland.

The only thing (as far as textures are concerned) I still do not like are desert / dry country textures. I mean if you look at the first picture above, it still looks to me more like a leopard skin that a dry countryside or desert.

I think if the textures are a bit farther away and the visibility is reduced to get some haze effect it is somewhat better.

I think for FS2006 should really work on their desert textures. If they do such a great job like on the clouds and water textures for FS2004 I will be more than happy.
