The original concept was to give the most realistic scenery and flight
experience ever. We are still doing that. The cost of doing the entire
world at our level of expensive photorealistic detail would far exceed
the cost of any flight sim ever made. 

Flight III is concentrating on producing:

- improved flight models with new physics and true flight completely
thru the envelope

- the best aircraft 3D models ever made

- the most amazing and technically advanced weather engine of any
flightsim ever made - good enough to teach Meteorology 101

- and many more improvements and additions that are needed, as well as
classified features and secrets!

We know what the simmers want, we just can't tell you what we have
planned..yet. You have to build a house with a basement first, then the
house, yard, shrubs, trees and other addons. 

Thanks for your comments, the LG flying Circus
