Microsoft Flight Simulator Lancaster, A330, & 757 Get New Screenshots; Maastricht Aachen Airport Announced

Third-party developers shared news aplenty about add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator, including both aircraft and scenery.

We start with Aeroplane Heaven, which shared plenty of new screenshots about its upcoming Avro Lancaster B Mk.I.

Alongside the aircraft and its custom ground service vehicles, we get to see a new pilot model, nicknamed “Ralph.”

Moving on to modern times, Aerosoft finally shared more screenshots of its upcoming Airbus A330, focusing on the ultra-detailed decals on the fuselage and wings.

These are work-in-progress and even more detail will be added on top of work on reflections and more.

Blue Bird Simulations released new screenshots of its Boeing 757, showcasing the flight deck and the reversers deployed.

ST Simulations had an announcement to make, and it’s Maastricht Aachen Airport (EHBK) in the Netherlands.

While its passenger operations are limited, with mostly seasonal flights, it’s the second-largest cargo hub in the country.

Two releases also came today. The first is Seville Airport (LEZL) in Spain by MK Studios.

It can be purchased on Orbx Direct for $16.88.
