80, last Nov. UGH!

So would I. The recently available FTX openLC NA Ver110 rendered T82 and surrounding area a bit more accurate. Not sure of the changes to KHYI, as I didn't look at it before loading the openLC. KHYI is but 30 miles from my home, T82 a bit further at 80 miles. I'd reckon any increase in the physical appearance/accuracy of a airport location, just has to add to the 'experience' when arriving/taxing/departing. It certainly works that way for me. In the case of T82, only a see-through fence separates it from Lady Bird Johnson Park. Lots of activities e.g. swap meets etc. happen there and of course several brick & mortar support structures exist on the grounds plus everal paved roadways. A far cry from the scrub bushes and brown grass currently depicted. So I hope at some juncture, enhancements will find their way to both locations.

In 1996 when Lockheed Martin was shutting down its' Austin TX division, I was able to purchase a 5 leg, back tilt style swivel office chair with arms, for the ridiculous sum of $25 dollars. I welded up an offset bracket for the left arm, to use as a throttle mount location, and another bracket attached to the underside of the seat to serve as the joy stick mount. Currently those locations are filled with Seiko X55 components. Admittedly the stick location does require care when one sits in or gets out of the chair, but functionally it works quiet well.
