Orlando International Airport for MSFS 2024 Gets New Screenshots and Development Update
Verticalsim released on Discord a new batch of screenshots and a development update of its Orlando International Airport (KMCO) in the US for MSFS 2024.
“Work on Orlando International continues to move forward! Our focus right now is on the ground work, capturing that genuine Florida feel through weathered concrete, worn asphalt, and the details that give MCO’s airfield its character. The GA and cargo ramps are also taking shape, bringing more of the airport’s working areas to life.
We’re creating new GSE (Ground Support Equipment) from scratch specifically for MCO. Alongside that, brand-new centerline lights, amber hold-short light bars, and elevated runway guard lights are being individually built to match their real-world counterparts and FAA specifications.
The release will also include Terminal C’s southern expansion and the new Heliport Demonstration Pad, extending our coverage of the airport’s latest developments.
Our onsite reference team has now grown to 10 members, including several who work at the airport! Their photos and firsthand knowledge are helping us capture details throughout the airport. A huge thank-you to everyone contributing to the project!
Full-time development on MCO will resume following SNA’s release. In the meantime, we’re continuing to make steady progress and lay the groundwork for what’s ahead.”
