It maybe digital but it shouldn&#8217;t be ignored as even digital  scenery can be gorgeous. As mentioned, was doing some add-on testing. Also wanted to try out some short range flights from Tokyo&#8217;s Yokohama AB to Niigata airport. Once at Niigata I basically switched from one plane to another in between landings and take-offs.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that ticked me off the most was how&#8230;..lacking the sound files were. I had to file swap better sounds from other add-ons into the following add-ons to make them sound better, or unique. I understand it takes work to model and code them, it wouldn&#8217;t hurt to add a random sound file to the plane(s).
