Without further ado, I leave you with the news. Of course, we also have a recap for general gaming news if you’re interested.

New Madeira Airport Announced for Microsoft Flight Simulator

Microsoft Flight Simulator Madeira Airport

Developer Atelic announced on the FSDeveloper forums that it is working on a new rendition of Madeira Airport (LPMA) also known as Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport (weird, I know).

Looking at the screenshot, it certainly looks very detailed, especially the iconic area under the runway. No release date has been shared for now besides “very soon.”

Here’s what we can expect according to a post on the developer’s Facebook page.

  • Handcrafted airport area
  • High-definition terrain
  • Up-to-date ground layout
  • Full terminal interior
  • Custom vehicles
  • Accurate runway slope
  • Custom-placed buildings on the hill
  • Animated elements — ground traffic, go-karts, windsocks, flags
  • Lead-in lighting system (rabbit lights)
  • Detailed runway bridge structure
  • Sports complex under the runway
  • Roads in the vicinity of the airport
  • Caniçal port
  • Santa Cruz village
  • Detailed models on runway 05 approach path — Hotel Vila Galé, Gelo buildings, Aquaparque Madeira, etc.
  • Custom vegetation
  • Statue of Cristiano Ronaldo

Kola Map for DCS World Updated With More Airports

  • New Airfields: EFKS Kuusamo & EFIV Ivalo
  • Updated Airfield: ESNJ Jokkmokk
  • Reworked Summer Textures: Enhanced ground detail across the map
  • New Towns, Cities, Lakes, and Rivers: Expanded, realistic environments

The scenery is currently available on Orbx Direct, the DCS World store, and Steam for approximately $55.99 depending on taxes.

Sukhoi Su-30 for Microsoft Flight Simulator Gets New Screenshots

Top Match Studios released some “very early work-in-progress” screenshots of the avionics of its upcoming Sukhoi Su-30.

Of course, you should keep in mind that the definition speaks for itself. The screenshots only intend to showcase progress made on the aircraft announced back in February, and they’re far from representing a finished product.

If you’d like to get into flight simulation but you’re perhaps a bit intimidated by its apparent complexity, you can read our introductory guide, alongside the second episode focusing on installing add-ons, and another showcasing the basic instruments.

You can also read more flight simulation news in the previous roundup article.
