Finally!!! A DFW scenery!!!!

Blueprint Simulations released a new KDFW scenery yesterday for FS2004 and FSX. Check it out at http://www.blueprintsimulations.com/BluePrint_KDFW.html

I plan on picking up the FS2004 version later this weekend. If anybody beats me to it let us know how it works out.

I bought the FS9 version of the scenery and I have to say, based on the comments that have already been made, that I wasn't expecting much. Honestly, I don't see major differences between this scenery and the freeware FRF-studios scenery available on avsim. The plus side is that I think the gates are more accurately located and assigned. The minus side is that they could have done a LOT better for a payware scenery. The textures are pretty bland all around. The aprons and runways use default texturing which was a real let-down for me. For $25 they should be offering both the FS9 and FSX versions together. My recommendation: Stick to the freeware FRF-studios scenery unless you just have $25 to blow away.

This was FS9 running in Windows 7 x64 Home Premium. The desktop is a Dell XPS Studio with an i7 processor, 4GB RAM and an nVidia video card which I can't remember the specs for right now. The sliders on FS9 are all maxed out. Framerates were alternating between 21-29.9 (locked at 30)

Here are some pictures from my last flight from KDFW-KORD. The surrounding terrain is Ultimate Terrain-USA. After landing I went back in a whirly bird to take some more screenshots:

In my case it's default FS9 scenery. The airport scenery doesn't reach out that far.

I've seen the freeware version for FS9, but does one exist for FSX?

These scenery pics are for FSX. Three different files I have here all depicting the Terminal D.
Only the Blueprint one models all the gates terminals after the real ones. Yes I have it and I don't mind paying for something I use and enjoy.

One should check AVSIM. It only takes a moment.
