Western Sydney Airport for MSFS 2024 and MSFS 2020 Gets New Screenshots

 Drzewiecki Design showcased more work-in-progress screenshots of Western Sydney International Airport (YSWS) in Australia.

As for the past week, the developer provided a brief development update. 

“Development at WSI continues strong with more detail and realism being added across the board.

This week, the metro trains arrived in three different versions, and we’ve added four new overpasses along the upcoming highway leading to the airport. A unique steel sphere structure also made its way into the scenery — more on that soon.

The fire training ground is now equipped with complete 3D structures, and new custom vehicle liveries are ready to enhance the realism on the apron. We’re also pushing forward with drone video conversion, transforming real-world aerial footage into precise terrain textures around the terminal.

On the ground, we’ve made significant progress shaping the area around the highway overpasses, while the terminal surroundings are being painted and detailed with grass, trees, lighting, and signage to bring the entire space to life.”
