Microsoft Flight Simulator Rome–Fiumicino Airport Gets Release Date; London Heathrow Gets New Trailer; Panama Landmarks Announced

Today third-party developers had new reveals and announcements to make about upcoming add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

We start with MK Studios, which revealed new screenshots and a release date for Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (LIRF) in Rome, Italy.

The relevant Italian airport will launch on February 24, and you can see a few screenshots in the gallery below.

Apologies for the temporary use of imgur galleries. Our gallery feature is temporarily broken due to a software transition and we’ll revert to that as soon as possible.

Next comes Inibuilds with a new trailer for its recently-announced London Heathrow Airport (EGLL) in the United Kingdom.

While no release date has been announced for the moment, you can take a good look below.

We then get a new announcement from Orbx, which will soon launch its Panama City landmarks, which will include the city itself and the famous Panama Canal.
