Hey guys,
It seems that developers aren't going to be developing the Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport any time soon. I have decided that I am going to spend some time and develop this scenery. Keep in mind, because of school I won't be able to work much on week days but I will work as much as possible on this project. It may be some time before you see any progress begin on this scenery but I assure you that it will be under construction very soon.

Here are some of the features:
-Full taxiway textures
-Animated Jetways
-Taxiway Bridges
-Full terminal layout
-Airport Fences
-Fire Department
-Etc...

If anybody could get me any screenshots or anything please send me a PM. Please post your thoughts about this project and I hope to get you all a very high quality Houston IAH.

Just to give you an idea. The Barbados scenery (very small) I am doing was started in June 08 :-)

Chris's Madeira scenery was started in 2005 !

Haha. This project may be closing. I will probably do something smaller instead such as KEGE.

In any case, Mach-1 Designs already did a decent rendition of KIAH.

However, it doesn't have the taxiway bridges, etc... Those are a huge part of KIAH being what it is.

Actually there's an update for adding jetways on Mach-1's KIAH that was released not too long after the scenery itself. I'd say their scenery is satisfying enough.

It's true that the M1DG Global Update pack will add jetway's to our IAH, however don't let that discourage you from making your own. The more people who learn Gmax, the better!
