Well John, it's as I said. Both types of venues take up loads of realestate. Flying along the Daytona coast in real life Daytona International Speedway fairly dominates that local area of Daytona Beach, Fla. A 2.5 mile around superspeedy could conatain dozens of football, baseball, and soccer stadiums as well as arenas. Also, there are definate aviation connections among the NASCAR crowd. Jack Roush owns 3 727's, 2 p-51's, a Cessna 421, a King Air-200 and several piston singles and is type rated to fly em all. Most of the more successful car owners and drivers come and go to the tracks by helicopter after arriving in the area by corporate jet. A number of them died in air accidents. Davy Allison, Allen Kulwickie, and recently members of the Hendrix team and family. Also, I am sure in the real world these huge facilities have a lot of VFR value. I am sure a lot of that applies also to major ski areas. I hope in the next version MS includes any and all scenery that would be considered major VFR landmarksor serve as the basis for flight adventures. Like ski trips for the rich and providing aireal coverage of the Daytone 500.
