Flight Simulation developers shared news today, including airports for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, MSFS 2020, and X-Plane 12
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. Of course, today is going to be much bigger, and the same will go for the next two days.
Before we move on to the flight simulation news, make sure to 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.
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.
As usual, we get a development update explaining the progress made this week.
“Recent work focused on the terminal interior and equipment, with additional progress on the surrounding terminal area, including new sidewalks, missing fencing, pylons/signage elements, and further landside detail.
Several new scenery assets have also been completed, including two small FedEx buildings, Factory Gate No. 1, and three highway viaducts. Additional corrections were applied to previously completed structures as the airport environment continues to be refined.
Across the ground layout, work continued on concrete and asphalt section divisions, drainage elements, pavement edges, and detailed GND adjustments. Static aircraft and ground-handling elements were also placed, adding another layer of operational detail around the airport.”
Teterboro Airport Coming for X-Plane 12
Dreamflight Studios announced that its Teterboro Airport is coming for X-Plane 12.
According to the developer, it’ll feature “the highly detailed airport, extensive custom modeling, realistic ground work, and all the details that made the MSFS version special.”
