Here's one out of left field....I would love it if you guys would do one in North America. My suggestions are (to my knowledge no one has claimed these as WIP or planned): KAUS (Austin TX USA) KBNA (Nashville TN USA) MMSD (Cabo San Lucas Mexico) KPHL (Philadelphia PA USA) Out of those, KAUS and MMSD are probably fairly small (one or two small simple terminals). KAUS in photogrammetry and easy access to great satellite imagery. Just suggestions/requests - maybe not your preferred direction and that's cool if not. Had to ask! Love all you do!

Fantastic that you're all doing well! Thanks for the progress report - look AWESOME!

Exciting stuff, @Anna Cicognani! Especially looking forward to ESSA, ENGM and the US regionals! Would love for you guys to tackle KAUS/Austin as well somewhere down the road. Would be simply beautiful and you guys have never touched Texas. Thanks for everything and for keeping us all slobbering over previews!!

Continuing to pray for you and your countrymen. My only request is that you fight like Hell, stay safe, and be free on the other side! We'll talk about our airport wish lists when Ukraine is free again.

OK, weird. Spawned back into KSJC without changing anything (except I did cycle the Ultra/Medium/Ultra on my previous flight mid-flight) and the jetways are indeed there. Same for KSBA. I guess it was either related to the bug described in the video or just a weird random thing. Sorry to bug you guys. These both test OK!

Following some other threads on LVFR's site, it could be related to ARE-X. That was updated for SU5 but I need to double check and make sure mine is updated (pretty sure it is, but...that's why God made checklists)! I'll check all of this out as soon as I land and report back. Thanks for the help.

Yes, I did do that as well...forgot to mention. After watching the video, I'll double check that back at both KSBA and KSJC, but I gotta tell you I don't think that's my issue because right now at FL160 the scenery and clouds are stunning and trees are populating as I would expect for Ultra. The sunlight bouncing off the chrome on my DC-6, etc...I mean, if this isn't Ultra, I can't imagine what I'm missing.

Hmmm, that's interesting...I'll give it a shot. Thanks!!

OK, that's strange. Both mine are OrbxDirect purchases. I have (since installing SU5 and 1.18.15.0) removed all Community folder contents as advised, only adding back in what was said to be working thus far), deleted the Content.xml file and allowed FS to recreate, reinstalled the OrbxDirect sceneries I had previously installed and removed, restarted the sim after each new flight. These are the first two airports I have discovered missing jetways at. My settings are Ultra, PG is on. Anybody got any ideas of what else I should check?

KSBA is missing jetways after SU5. Needs update. Thanks!

KSBA has no jetways. Starting thread to report that issue. Flying to CYLW.

Well, KBUR is good news/bad news. The good news is - it doesn't seem like SU5 has messed anything up. Bad news is - it's still as messed up as it's always been as well documented in other threads with seemingly no care to fix. No ILS on 08, ATC always forces you into visual 15 approach regardless of plan filed. And still, no parking available when landing. I guess the devs gave up on this one long ago...sad because it's so pretty. On to testing the next couple.

KSJC missing jetways. Started a separate topic for that. Testing each airport I own because I got tired of waiting to hear from all the developers and flying without all my paid for scenery. En route to KBUR now to see if it's OK.

KSJC jetways are missing after MSFS SU5/1.18.15.0.

I have all of your MSFS airports and have become a die hard fan! REALLY been looking forward t this particular addition!

Awesome! Love your work and DEFINITELY wanting this airport!

Hey, guys, wanted to update my personal frame rate situation so any other users could see this. I believe I know what may be causing my personal issue, and I need to stand corrected on one measure: my frame rate decline is not while flying over the scenery and looking at it as was the OP. My issue is at EDDF with the scenery added (but not visible necessarily in my screen). I have discovered that most Asobo airports are not optimized as well as 3rd party ones (I genuinely get better FPS at 3rd party top-tier airports than Asobo's handcrafted ones (especially Gen 1). What was happening to me is that your scenery is in close proximity to EDDF (compared to your London/EGLL and your Paris/LFPO), so I think the airport's FPS decline because your scenery is loaded. Your scenery is not the problem, but merely a catalyst which causes the unoptimized airport to stutter. Hypothesis anyway. Once I get a new 3rd party EDDF (which is on the way), I'd lay odds I'll have no more issues in Frankfurt. Because I have none at JetStream's LFPO, Asobo's EGLL (which is far enough away perhaps), or other 3rd party airports where other top-tier scenery is either (KIAD & KDCA with Washington; KORD with Chicago, etc). Anyways, your stuff rocks. Keep it up. Can't wait for more 3rd party airports which look AND perform better. Thanks again!!!

Thanks for taking time to reply Nick. I know not everything is able to be answered. You guys do amazing work. Looking forward to some of your roadmap announcements being done.

Forgive me but your reply and dismissal of my comment is a bit insulting. I (for whatever reason) am experiencing a noticeable frame rate drop at EDDF (if I had to guess it's around 10-15 FPS based on extensive experience in flight simulation in FSX for around 12 years where FPS were always maxed out). I've been doing this since MSFS v5.0. When I said stuttering, this is what I was generally referring to, not any other version of technical stutters that may be discussed in other posts. I totally understand that the response to the OP was partially correct in that it said one will always have higher frame rates viewing away from scenery versus towards (I'm not a moron - I get that). With that, I do not disagree. I'm simply saying I, personally, am also experiencing a frame rate drop at EDDF since installing your scenery. Because I don't have this issue at any other scenery of yours or anyone else's, and because it began after installing your scenery, I can deduce that something in your scenery is a proximate cause of said drop in FPS. I find a few instances where support folks seem to be more interested in being right than actually understanding the potential issue. I'm sorry to say that this happens in these forums a lot. I get that most people reporting issues are full of crap and it's more than likely their own setups or something they're not thinking about, and you don't know me to be any different, but I am. I rarely complain about anything with performance (I'm fairly certain this is in fact my first and I've been using MSFS since day ONE) and I always assume at first that it's me, or my own system, before I chime in on anything. In this case, I get no issues without your Frankfurt scenery, get issues with it at EDDF, and I don't have similar problems with any other 40+ installed sceneries (from you or others), so I'm pretty safe in saying something isn't working efficiently at Frankfurt. Maybe it's Asobo's EDDF, I dunno, but something after installing Frankfurt caused performance at EDDF to be troubling. Also, your PS regarding general frame rate drops...well DUHHHHH! But no, I personally don't notice a drop in those areas - that's my entire point! I don't count FPS. I fly! If it looks good, it looks good. If it's jittery on FPS, it's a problem for flying, which is also in line with what Nick is saying. Does it drop around complex sceneries? Of course! But if it's not noticeable I don't give a frog's fat a$$ about the number. If I used incorrect terminology when I said stutters, forgive me, but if you read what I said and processed it, you can surely understand that I am discussing drops in FPS (noticeable ones) which is perfectly in line with @mikee's OP. Nick's dismissal of the guy's OP was not perfectly right - it was partially right. Neither was your dismissal of my comment, which was completely wrong. I'll say no more on the subject and assume you guys are going to stand ground on the fact that the scenery is perfect. It does look stunning, as do all your others I've purchased, but if I can't solve the FPS issue at EDDF, and you guys aren't able to replicate similar issues, I'm going to have to uninstall and just use all my other German airports instead until something changes.

@SeanmoI don't have any addons in the Frankfurt area except the Orbx scenery, but if you're not having the same issue, perhaps something local is going on. This is the first encounter with framerate issues for me. I'll keep experimenting.

I have to disagree with you a bit on this one, Nick. I've noticed the same thing and I'm not a serial complainer. I have ZERO issues in Paris or London with your scenery and even have a lot of payware airports in the vicinity of each, but in Frankfurt, I'm seeing a dramatic and noticeable stuttering unlike any other area in the sim. I don't run any framerate counters because I fully understand that simulators aren't shooter games but it is very noticeable for me every time I depart or arrive into EDDF. This scenery is a hog compared to every other scenery of yours I own (which is a LOT) :). I was waiting to see if anyone else was seeing it too before I made the case. Frankfurt (for me at least) is noticeably worse than London or Los Angeles area (both of which draw ire from many users). Thanks for anything you can do to look into performance issues/aides.

Will FlyTampa's EKCH (Copenhagen) be making it over for MSFS or should I buy from them directly?
