The announcement comes alongside the reveal of a partnership with Orbx, which will launch the airport on its popular Orbx Central service.

Update: Just one day after the announcement, the airport has been released and it’s now available for roughly $18.

No release date has been announced besides “very soon.”

With FlyTampa being a fan-favorite developer for scenery, Orbx certainly scored another relevant partnership here.

Below you can take a look at a gallery of screenshots and an official description of the airport.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
