Microsoft Flight Simulator MD-11, Kikai & Bankstown Airports Get New Screenshots; Pilatus Porter Gets New Videos

Third-party developers have showcased new images of upcoming add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator. We start from TFDi Designs that showcased the first images of the MD-11 in the simulator (courtesy of FSElite’s FlightSimExpo’s live feed). This aircraft is going to be “study-level” (meaning that it’ll include in-depth simulation of all the systems) and it certainly looks promising so far. We’ll likely hear more about it soon. Do keep in mind that the last two screenshots in the gallery were captured with a camera off a monitor. We also get to

Microsoft Flight Simulator London Biggin Hill & Coffs Harbour Airports Announced; F-104 Gets New Video; Santiago Released

Third-party developers had announcements and reveals to share today about upcoming add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Pilot Plus announced the iconic airport of London Biggin Hill (EGKB) in the UK. While today it’s a smaller general aviation airport, it has become famous due to its role during the Battle of Britain. PilotPlus is working with the airport’s administration for this reproduction and promises accurate terrain for the airport and surrounding area at 1-meter resolution, including the runway slope. You can see the first images and renders below. Another airport has

Microsoft Flight Simulator KC-10, Pilatus Porter, Queenstown, & Bankstown Get Screenshots & Videos; Lublin Airport Released

Third-party developers have shared new assets about upcoming aircraft and airports for Microsoft Flight Simulator, alongside a relevant release. First of all, we get to take a nice look at the external model of the Aero Dynamics’ McDonnell Douglas KC-10 Extender. We already know that aircraft will be freeware, and you can follow its development at the dedicated Discord Server. We move on to IniScene/IniBuilds, which released a trailer of its upcoming Queenstown Airport (NZQN) in New Zealand. This one is slated to be coming soon, and you can see what it

Microsoft Flight Simulator – FlyTampa Teases Amsterdam & Corfu Airports; Aerosoft Announces Simple Traffic; Bordeaux Released

Today third-party developers had some juicy news to share about upcoming add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator. First of all, we get a tease from acclaimed developer FlyTampa, which released two interesting images. The first portrays Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (EHAM) in the Netherlands, while the second teases Corfu International Airport (LGKR) in Greece. The first is a major hub that could definitely use a fresh coat of paint in Microsoft Flight Simulator. The second is one of the most scenic and interesting airports in the Mediterranean. Next comes Aerosoft with something

Microsoft Flight Simulator Chicago Midway & Mexico City Airports Announced; F-16, Beaver, & Nanki-Shirahama Get New WIP Screenshots

The weekend doesn’t matter in Microsoft Flight Simulator, as third-party developers never stop providing news and releases of add-ons for the popular sim. We start with Drzewiecki Design, who announced Chicago Midway International Airport (KMDW) with a series of images. While the airport’s name was not explicitly mentioned, the tower and the cityscape are pretty much unmistakable. Incidentally, Drzewiecki Design also released a package for the city itself, so expanding to one of its airports certainly makes sense. You can find the new images below. Next is FlyMex, which is

Microsoft Flight Simulator Interview: Jorg Neumann Discusses Xbox Version, Future Plans, & Much More

Yet, Microsoft and Asobo Studio are also working hard to keep improving the simulator for the existing enthusiast audience as well. To know more about what we can expect in the short, medium, and long term, we had a chat with the head of Microsoft Flight Simulator, Jorg Neumann. Giuseppe: Let’s start off with something you revealed really recently: Orbis’ Flying Eye Hospital MD-10.

Microsoft Flight Simulator – Tehran Imam Khomeini Airport Review (HomaSim)

Third-party developer HomaSim recently released Imam Khomeini International Airport (OIIE) in Tehran for Microsoft Flight Simulator, adding a relevant hub to a region that definitely doesn’t see many add-ons. The airport itself is quite interesting as it shares airline traffic to and from the capital of Iran with its neighbor Mehrabad International Airport. OIIE handles all the international traffic, while Mehrabad is host to all the domestic traffic. You could say that it’s a bit less scenic than Mehrabad, which is in the middle of the city and closer to

Microsoft Flight Simulator London Gatwick, Bergamo Orio Al Serio Airports & Mumbai City Announced

Today third-party developers shared three relevant announcements about upcoming scenery add-ons coming to Microsoft Flight Simulator. Inibuilds and Origami Studios announced London Gatwick Airport (EGKK), coming this summer. Being the second-busiest airport in the United Kingdom and the tenth in Europe, it’s definitely a great addition to the simulator. Besides, it looks really good, as you can see from the screenshots below. You can also read an official statement describing what we can expect. “In collaboration with iniBuilds, we are incredibly excited to announce Gatwick Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Japanese developer Technobrain (whom you may know for the excellent Yao Airport) moved on to a much bigger challenge and is developing Osaka Kansai International Airport (RJBB). Built fully on an artificial island, it’s the third-busiest airport in Japan and the most relevant in the west of the country. It includes two runways and two massive terminals, one of which is the biggest in the world, built

Microsoft Flight Simulator – Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport Review (Drzewiecki Design)

Third-party developer Drzewiecki Design recently released Moscow Sheremetyevo Alexander S. Pushkin International Airport (UUEE) in Russia for Microsoft Flight Simulator. As the busiest airport in Russia and the fifth-busiest in Europe, UUEE is certainly relevant if you want to simulate airline or cargo operations in the country. It’s currently available on Orbx Direct for approximately $23, which means that you can use the handy Orbx Central client to install the airport and keep it updated. If you want to take a good look at what the scenery looks like, you can
