Kitadaito Airport for MSFS Gets New Screenshots and Development Update
Gate15 Scenery released new work-in-progress screenshots of Kitadaito Airport (RORK) in Japan.
We also got a development update.
“Kita-Daito Airport is now in the final stages of development, with the last adjustments currently underway.
While the default scenery depicts Kita-Daito Island as mostly flat, the area surrounding the airport is actually characterized by dramatic rocky cliffs rising directly from the sea.
These surrounding landscapes are particularly noticeable during takeoff and landing, so we have spent some time fine-tuning the terrain around the airport to better capture the unique atmosphere and scenery of Kita-Daito.
We’re now putting the finishing touches on the airport.”
