Flight Simulation developers shared news today, focusing on airports for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, MSFS 2020, and X-Plane.
Simulation Daily publishes a roundup every day for all the news across the flight simulation field, helping you keep up to date with the ins and outs of the industry.
Without further ado, I leave you with the news.
Tokyo Haneda Airport for X-Plane 12 Enters Beta Testing Again
Axonos announced that, after two years in development, its Tokyo Haneda Airport (RJTT) in Japan is entering beta testing.
This is not the first time the airport has entered beta testing, but the developers decided to go back to the drawing board after the previous test, and now they appear to be much more confident about its quality.
Alongside the announcement on Discord, we also get to see a few new screenshots.
Minami-Daito Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator Gets New Screenshots and Development Update
Gate15 Scenery released new screenshots and a development update of Minami-Daito Airport (ROMD) in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan.
We learn that the airport is taking longer than expected due to repeated adjustments caused by discrepancies in the textures’ appearance compared between the modeling process and when they’re imported in the simulator.
