The MS scenery for the Suez channel region in Egypt has much improved in FS2004, but nevertheless there are several flaws which I have tried to correct in this scenery: - the harbours on both ends of the channel (Port Said and Port Tawfiq/Suez), which were only roughly indicated, are represented with more detail, some shorelines at Port Said have been corrected (the available satellite photographs show that MS has used outdated maps) - the bridges blocking the passage through the eastern channel at Port Said and in the southern part of the main channel have been removed as well as a ship which MS put at 90° to the waterway! - there are (to my knowledge) only two bridges across the channel (at Qantara and Feridan), both were missing and have been added (the turning bridge at Feridan in the open state) - since there was almost no traffic in the channel, a number of ships of various types have been added. I tried to make the ships similar to real world ships you might see in the Suez channel without going into too much detail. by winfriedorthmann_at_yahoo.com
