Genesis
=======
This is my first scenery design, I hope you enjoy it. Why Singapore?
-First, Singapore is a highly developed nation of nearly 5 million with a very attactive skyline which Microsoft Flight Simulations have never depicted.
-Second, to my knowledge no other flight sim enthusiast has distributed a freeware scenery of Singapore so I wanted to be the first.
-Third, my friend Gappy is from Singapore and he always wanted to see it.
-Fourth, I felt inspired after visiting http://bennyscrapers.angelcities.com/ which has some incredibly beautiful pictures. I encourage everyone to visit.
-And last, Singapore is a nation of many racial and ethnic groups all striving together similar to my hometown of New York City, USA.
Description
=========
