While AFP's photorealistic scenery's are nice they just don't offer the same types of advantages as the 3D worlds do. With the 3D world you have unlimited flying fields. You can fly in the pits, inside of buidlings, on tables and even land on the side of mountains. The possibilities are endless. That's why most computers games and PS2 games have worked hard on their 3D engines instead of opting to photoreal. New versions of AFP will be focusing on better 3D worlds while giving you the ability to add photoreal scenery.
