Microsoft Flight Simulator – FlyByWire A32NX Gets Experimental Version With Custom FMS; Stuttgart Airport & Alaska Mesh Released

Today third-party developers had news to share about add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

First of all, FlyByWire launched an experimental version of its A32NX mod for the default Airbus A320 NEO, bringing forth the implementation of the custom flight management system.

This is a very relevant update, as it improves the navigation ability and predictability of the aircraft rather massively. Being an experimental version, it may have issues, which you can find here.

Below you can read the new features introduced in this version, while we wait for it to be implemented in the development version and ultimately in the stable version.

Next comes FeelThere which released its Stuttgart Airport (EDDS). It can be found at the developer’s own store for $19.99.

Below you can watch a trailer and read an official features list.

• High detail models
• Partial internal model
• Detailed satellite imagery surrounding the airport
• Custom ground lines and buildings
• Highly detailed textures, Physically Based Rendering (PBR), reflective and realistic textures

Update: The Alaska Mesh by Orbx has also been released. It’s currently available on Orbx Direct for $9.37. Here’s what you can expect from it:

• High-resolution 5m DEM data
• Minimal performance impact
• Compiled to reduce LOD morphing
• Self-contained product

Recently, we published our brand new and massive interview with head of Microsoft Flight Simulator Jorg Neumann, focusing on the Xbox version and short and long-term plans for the sim (on both platforms).
