Does anyone recognize this building!  Cheesy  Seriously though, is there any interest in St. Petersburg scenery?  I was thinking of doing downtown, the Sundome, Whitted Field, the Coquina Key area, and the Treasure Island/ Passe Grille Area (including the Hurricane restaurant!).  Oh, and let's not forget the Sunshine Skyway Bridge that MS left out.  Heck, it's only 14 Miles long...

The bridge is in there.  It's just not where it's supposed to be.  In the real world it's E-W connecting Tampa and St. Pete.    In FS02 it's N-S connecting St. Pete and Clearwater (? - whatever is south of St. Pete).  I thought it was missing, too, until I did a bad approach into KTPA.

PS - I have no idea what that building might be.

You're kidding right?  I did get the support struts wrong, but I have fixed that.  It's the St Petersburg Pier!

It's been a long time since I've been to Tampa and even longer since I've been to St. Pete.  I wouldn't recognize the pier if it came out of the water and chased me.  The only thing I noticed about Tampa/St. Pete scenery is that is had the old football stadium (I have an addon that fixed that) and the bridge seemed to be missing.  But like I said, it's just in the wrong place.
