Flight Simulation developers shared news today, including aircraft and airports for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and MSFS 2020

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.

Before we move on to the news, you can check out a flight simulation story that received its own individual coverage.

Without further ado, I leave you with today’s flight simulation news.

Airbus A220 for MSFS 2024 and MSFS 2020 Gets New Screenshots

The Airbus A220 by Synaptic Simulations received a series of new screenshots.

The images, which you can see above, feature both the exterior and the flight deck, and they were showcased on the developer’s Discord server.

At the moment, a release date has not yet been announced. The aircraft will be native for both MSFS 2024 and MSFS 2020 at release.

Long Beach Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Gets New Screenshots

XWind Studios shared new screenshots of Long Beach Airport (KLGB) in California, United States, for MSFS 2024

The developer is currently tweaking the night lighting and adding the final pieces of ground service equipment to the terminal area.

Minami-Daito Airport for MSFS Releasing “Shortly”

Gate15 Scenery released new screenshots and a development update of Minami-Daito Airport (ROMD) in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan.

The developer mentioned that the issues that affected development are now solved, and the airport should release “shortly.”

Free Chubu Centrair Airport Released for MSFS 2024

Franzlhuber updated his free Chubu Centrair Airport (RJGG) in Japan, finally releasing it for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on top of the existing MSFS 2020 compatibility.

This airport is definitely comparable to a payware product. In fact, it was supposed to be payware, but then its creator decided to release it for free on Flightsim.to. It’s pretty much the only good version of this relevant Japanese airport, so it’s awesome that we can now enjoy it in MSFS 2024.

Incidentally, if you want to see the airport in MSFS 2024, we featured it in our video that we published earlier today.

Here are the features that you can expect:

  •  Accurate and complete Rendering of RJGG 
  • 95% custom modeled buildings
  • Color correction of aerial data and intensive ground work
  • Custom modeled animated jetways
  • Custom (static) vehicles 
  • Some static aircraft
