Today Third-party add-on developer FlyTampa announced that it will release Sydney Kingsford Smith (YSSY) airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
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.
“Sydney Airport is the busiest in Australia handling over 42 million passengers per year from a variety of airlines all around the world. The airport itself features three runways and is one of the world’s longest commercially operating airports.
Located not far from the city itself, you can expect to fly near the iconic Opera House, and the Sydney Harbour Bridge that is available with Cityscape Sydney.”
