Before we move on to the flight simulation news, you can check out today’s episode of our “Can You Guess this Airport?” video series.
Without further ado, I leave you with today’s flight simulation news
Fokker F100 & F70 For MSFS Reveals Livery Manager
Just Flight revealed the livery manager that will be released alongside the upcoming Fokker F100 and F70.
It will let users download only the liveries they want to, and there’ll be options for MSFS 2024, MSFS 2020, 4K, and 8K resolutions.
It’ll also allow developers to deliver improvements to specific liveries more quickly, independently of updates to the whole aircraft.
Boeing 707 for Microsoft Flight Simulator Gets New Screenshots and Development Update
Aerial Simulations released a development update and new screenshots of its Boeing 707 for MSFS on its Discord Server.
“The external model is now being textured, and I’ll let the screenshots speak for themselves. The cockpit is progressing nicely as well. Most of the gauge faces are now textured, with everything needed for systems development in place.
On the systems side: Electrical is about 95% complete. What’s left are the circuits that power and control other incomplete systems, such as radios and lighting. The fuel system is fully complete. The hydraulic system is around 80% complete.
The remaining work mostly relates to flaps, landing gear, and spoilers. I’ll be tackling those once I start implementing the exterior animations on the textured model.
The next major system to take on is pneumatics. This is a big one, as it handles all four engine start methods available on the ground: low pressure air, bleed air, turbine compressor air, and high pressure air. It also drives the cabin pressurization and temperature simulation.
There’s still plenty of work to do, but it’s starting to feel like a complete aircraft rather than a collection of models and systems. We will be sharing pictures more frequently as the exterior texturing progresses.”
Tokyo Haneda Airport For X-Plane 12 Gets New Screenshots and Details
The store page of Tokyo Haneda Airport (RJTT) for X-Plane 12 by Axonos has appeared on Orbx Direct.
This means that the airport is basically ready to launch, and we get plenty of new screenshots and official details.
- Hundreds of custom-modelled buildings and assets — virtually the entire airport is built by hand, with almost nothing left to default. Every terminal, hangar, and structure across Haneda has been recreated for total fidelity
- Highly accurate custom terrain mesh — faithfully recreating Haneda’s artificial island and the signature uphill slope to the bridge
- Authentic ground detail — all ramp, vehicle, and apron markings, plus ground signage, modelled with precision
- Genuine Japanese signage throughout — including real-world ground markings such as “Caution — Jet Blast” and “Stop Here.”
- PBR materials across the entire airport for true-to-life surfaces and lighting response
- Hand-crafted grunge & weathering that captures the lived-in authenticity of a working hub
- Fully detailed surroundings — vegetation, rocks, trash bins, and environmental clutter for total immersion
- Custom night lighting for terminals, hangars, and airport buildings
- Iconic points of interest modelled in detail, including the Tower of Winds and observation decks
- Custom-modelled island integration blended seamlessly into the X-Plane 12 world
Punta Cana International Airport Released for Free for MSFS 2024
Chak991 released a free rendition of Punta Cana International Airport (MDPC) in the Dominican Republic for MSFS 2024.
It’s available on Flightsim.to for the affordable price of zero dollars, and like every freeware scenery that we cover here, its quality is definitely comparable with a payware offering.
