Third-party developers had quite a few assets to share today about upcoming aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator, while a relevant airport has been released.
First of all, Aerosoft’s de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter has entered its beta testing phase.
As a result, the developer is allowing testers to post screenshots on its official forums and below you can see a handy gallery.
Next is SimWorksStudios, which shared a trailer of the upcoming Daher Kodiak.
We also get a video of the TF-104G Starfighter from Sim Skunk Works, showing refueling and engine start thanks to an APU unit.
Last, but not least, Pacific Islands Simulation released Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport (KCLE) in the United States.
It can be purchased at the developer’s own store for$23.99.
