Hi there,

Here are some shots of the NEW Phoenix Sky Harbour by Simflyers and the amazing PMDG 737NG. This scenery is spectacular. The cars on the main road are animated and look very real. The advanced flattening that was involved to create all the elevation changes (tunnels, etc.) is incredible. The pictures certainly don't do it justice but I hope you enjoy.

Thanks
Eric

those are great shots Eric...I really like the second one with the car travelling through the tunnel and the glow of the terminal in the background.

The framerates are actually really good. I see almost no effect. With the PMDG 737, Ultimate Traffic at 100%, all sliders maxed and the Simflyers scenery, still getting over 30 fps. The plane itself seems to have a little effect but the scenery, none.

Thanks
Eric

Over 30fps?  Shocked

Geez, my system is identical to yours (If not better) and I have terrible stutters in the default Sky harbour  Grin

Cool scenery indeed Smiley

Those are some great shots.  I am still tempted to get the PMDG 737, but I have yet to be pushed over the edge for it.... Grin  Very worthy non the less.
