I would hesitate to criticise Austin for anything but i do think he has given himself a task with scenery that is essentially a mountain that is not worth climbing. Real scenery will always be preferable to plausible, for the simple fact that it is real. While your Washington and Florida were nice, Arizona with the hi rez Phoenix and Tuscon was a revelation. I live in new Zealand and yet have spent endless hours exploring Arizona because it looks so good. And then flying into Honolulu from an outer island is a treat, it truly is stunning. X- plane is a journey that I have had the privilege of enjoying for 20 years now, from those basic planes that all had the same cockpit and scenery that left you never quite sure how far off the ground you were (with the inevitable result) but the attraction was that the planes "flew" that and the constant upgrades. Austin's X-plane, flyjsims 727 and Real scenery is, as a package, something to to behold. A credit to you all.
