Without further ado, I leave you with the flight simulation news.
Tokyo Haneda Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator Releasing in Summer 2026; New Screenshots Released
Technobrain finally provided a release window for its Tokyo Haneda International Airport (RJTT) for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
We now know that after over three years since its original announcement, it’ll be released in Summer 2026.
We also get to take a good look at the progress made on the airport via a sizable gallery of screenshots, which you can enjoy above.
Considering that this is one of the airports I’m more familiar with in the real world, I can say it looks quite impressive, although some elements, like the ads on the jetways, are still missing.
Incidentally, while it’s not strictly flight simulation-related, Technobrain is also preparing to release the fifth installment of its ATC simulation franchise, Bokukan5 Tokyo (HND), also set in Haneda.
Mobile International Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator Gets New Screenshots and Dev Update
Drzewiecki Design released new screenshots and a development update of Mobile International Airport (KBFM) in Alabama, United States.
We also get the usual brief development update.
“Work on KBFM Mobile International Airport for MSFS continues with steady progress across the airport. More hangars are being textured, while Hangars 6 and 7 are now completed, further building up the airport’s maintenance and operational areas. Work is also ongoing on nearby warehouse and military buildings, helping to define more of the airport’s characteristic surroundings.
At the same time, additional technical support buildings and parking areas are being developed, while the ATC tower is also taking shape. Surface work is moving forward as well, with more concrete divisions added across paved areas to improve realism and visual structure.
The project keeps expanding piece by piece, with each update adding more of the airport’s layout, infrastructure, and atmosphere.”
Szczecin–Goleniów Airport for Released MSFS 2024 and MSFS 2020
Drzewiecki Design also released Solidarity Szczecin-Goleniow Airport (IEPSC) in Poland for both MSFS 2024 and MSFS 2020.
