Some nice scenery for Bermuda has been released recently for FS2004. Looks pretty good IMO.

Not bad at all indeed! Btw what kind of display settings do you use? Isn't it right that sometimes one needs to turn on extreme density to get full? Otherwise I thought normal meant full and extreme meant more than normal but maybe I'm wrong? I'm just interested in knowing what settings give the full scenery, no less, no more.

There was also a new scenery for the beach-runway and it looks nice. I wonder if it's possible to land a Concorde there. That's my plan, since I'm not that good at complicated planes I thought it could be best to train take-off and landing-procedures and with landing I could make some cool videos perhaps, although I need to figure out how to move the cameras, do you know of a way to do that? Several airports have the tower-view no-where near the tower.

Btw speaking of scenery, in Tomb Raider: The Craddle of Life there was a private Hong Kong airport, is that near Kai Tak and if so do you know the name?

Oh yeah, speaking of Bermuda, did they ever figure out what's going on there? Wasn't it gas-eruptions that could choke airplane engines and sink ships? I think they made tests of that also showed on Discovery. I also believe part of the Bermuda Triangle actually lies over land.

The only small airport I know of near Kai-tak is Shek-Kong. It's a little small airport.

As for TXKF, aka Bermuda International airport, Concorde landings there would be possible. Never done it, but it shouldn't be a trouble. Concordes usually flew right past there on the way to Nassau and back to London. No Concordes were ever lost in the area. ;)

Now the Bermuda Triangle myth is just that, a myth. Conspiracy theorists tell me how so many British Airways Concorde flights going between Nassau and London (flying right through the triangle) never experienced any troubles at all. See map:

Concordes would take off from Nassau and pass just to the east of Bermuda.

AF1492 flew through it on it's record-breaking round-the-world journey from Lisbon to Santo Domingo.

I think it's all about selling books and videos more than anything:
