Pacific Northwest

[rewasiuk]

Just wondering if any software developers might be working on Pacific Northwest scenery. It would be nice if one could fly from Anchorage, Alaska south to Vancouver, British Columbia. Flying from Honolulu, Hawaii to Vancouver, British Columbia would be out of the question as MS Flight do not have any aircraft types with that kind of range. A Boeing 767 in the works? An interesting question isn't it.

You'd have to ask the developers at Microsoft that question. No outside software developers are allowed to create any addon scenery.

The only way you could fly outside the present Flight "world" is if they add to it in a future release.

That's not strictly true... We can in fact fly to and land at several Canadian airports that are officially outside the boundaries of the Alaska scenery pack. Some of them even have fuel available! :ernae:

While the boundries around Alaska might be a little fuzzy, the OP asked if any software developers (presumably 3rd Parties) were working on a PNW scenery that could be added on to Alaska. That is not likely to happen anytime soon.

The OP's question was answered correctly by you in post #2. There are no third-parties working on Flight at all. None. Zero. Zilch. MSGS has no immediate plans to open up Flight to 3rd parties until they finish the basic platform. During an interview last February, Joshua Howard suggested possibly two to three years before that could occur.

My reply was to your second paragraph. I am quite capable of reading as it happens...

Two to three years, that's funny! Prepar3d will have made leaps and bounds before then.
