Today third-party developers shared three relevant announcements about upcoming scenery add-ons coming to Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Inibuilds and Origami Studios announced London Gatwick Airport (EGKK), coming this summer.
Being the second-busiest airport in the United Kingdom and the tenth in Europe, it’s definitely a great addition to the simulator.
Besides, it looks really good, as you can see from the screenshots below. You can also read an official statement describing what we can expect.
“In collaboration with iniBuilds, we are incredibly excited to announce Gatwick Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Gatwick is one of the most popular and busiest airports in the UK, and we were incredibly excited to bring a rendition into the ecosphere. This scenery package will be a significant upgrade from the X-Plane version, with certain areas of the terminals upgraded for more optimal UV/Texture mapping, more ground details, custom ortho, support for MSFS based features and more. Ground layouts will also be based on the 2020/2021 version, including new A380 pier and construction works around Pier 6.”
The Second announcement comes from Tailstrike Designs, who announced Bergamo Orio al Serio International Airport (LIME).
It’s the third-busiest airport in Italy, serving as a relevant low-cost hub for the Milan area. Since it’s about 20km from my home, I’m definitely execited for this one.
Below you can see a series of images including some from Tailstrike’s Facebook and more from a press release sent to Twinfinite.
More details will be shared in the next few days.
