Flight Simulation developers shared news today, including airports for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and 2020, on top of X-Plane.
Incidentally, earlier today, we published the 28th episode of “This Week in Flight Simulation News,” so be sure to check it out to catch up on what you may have missed last week.
Without further ado, you can check out the news below.
Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator Gets New Screenshots
Pilot Experience Sim released on its Discord server new screenshots of Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (LFPG) serving the capital of France.
We also get a brief development update.
“In this monthly report, we show you previews of the groundwork design, which is progressing well. As part of the development of Paris CDG, we have upgraded our custom textures and the result is awesome. We make it a point of honor to draw realistically and precisely in order to achieve an immersive and non-“generic” feel. You can also see a third tower, the South control tower, which is the most central tower at the airport. We are continuing to draw the ground layout, and the terminals are still in development.”

Remade Minami-Daito Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator Gets New Screenshots
Gate15 Scenery revealed new screenshots of the completed terminal model of Minami-Daito Airport (ROMD) in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, which is being completely remade by the developer.
We also get a brief description of the work going on.
“The terminal modeling for Minami-Daito Airport has been completed.
It has been faithfully recreated to match the actual size of the real terminal.
At this time, there are no plans to create the interior, although we may add the waiting room later.
This will be decided during the texturing phase.
By modeling elements such as windows and ducts in 3D, the terminal has become more realistic.
Originally, there was a shutter on the left side when viewed from the apron, but after confirming that the waiting area was expanded during renovations in 2022, we remodeled the terminal accordingly.”
