Ain't THAT the truth! KIAH kills my system - and it's no slouch, either!

Upon checking the Simflyers site further, the "free" sceneries are actually just discontinued from being sold. You can download the demo, but you can no longer obtain the registration key necessary for the full version. Apparently this stemmed from some dispute with one of their designers who left and went out on his own - and the sceneries listed are all his.

Ah sorry about that. I read on another forum they were free, and only briefly checked the site. My apologies everyone.  Smile

It would appear not, unfortunately. You can still download the installer, but to upgrade each scenery download to the non-demo version requires a 700-character activation code that you had to buy from Simflyers.

Since they've parted ways with the guy who created those sceneries, they're no longer selling the activation codes.

Unfortunately, free is still too much to ask for those airports!


Next Flight: TBA!

Agreed - adding KIAH to my system was like taking a racing greyhound and strapping an anvil to its head.

Pretty scenery though. Pity.

Actually, they packaged their KLAX, KIAH, KORD, KMCO, KATL, and KJFK sceneries together, changed their name, and charge you 25 bucks for the pack. Not bad for about $4 an airport.
