Flight Simulation developers shared news today, including aircraft and 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.

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.

Poznań–Ławica Airport Announced for MSFS

Drzewiecki Design announced Poznań–Ławica Henryk Wieniawski Airport (EPPO) in Poland.

We get to see the first screenshots, and we get a brief description of the current state of development.

“Development is already well underway. Custom aerial imagery has been prepared, aligned with the default terrain and cleaned of baked-in vehicles. The airfield layout and ground markings are complete, while taxiway centreline lighting, guidance signs and a new custom edge-light model have been implemented.

Initial 3D work is also progressing, with the terminal, airport fire station, technical facilities and other supporting buildings currently under construction.”
