[KIAH static aircraft]

Please do keep the statics. Here is why:

I use My Traffic for AI, but can't seem to get the right aircraft at the right terminal (I know there might be some way to fix that, but don't have enough hours to figure out how). Even worse, some problem with My Traffic (not sure what) leaves me no Delta Flights at Atlanta, no US Air at PHL (lots of US Air Force though, very strange), thanks to your statics the airport looks more right.

It is real nice with the statics to have some of the right aircraft at the right place, and to see the International Flags at an International Terminal. If I'm flying Alaska I can pull up next to Alaska at LAX.

I don't know how well other traffic add ons work, but I can say for us moderate users (fly a couple hours a week) spending too much time tweaking everything isn't worth it.

Static also allow the airport to keep a busy look, without overloading the radio with too many AI's.

The ground equipment around the static give the impression of aircraft actually in the load\unload phase, the AI's are just parked and not as interesting.

AI's are great for having other aircraft on runways, in the air, on the radio, but around the terminals the statics add much more realisim. Maybe someday it can all be matched up easily, but so far not.

Much goes into a decision to buy an airport (am I interested in the location, what do the screen shots look like, reviews, frame rate reports) It will be a point against when I decide to buy the next airport that yours don't have statics. I have bought 4 airports, three are yours!!

Thanks for your consideration.
