First of all, good news for those flying on Xbox Series X|S who love fighter jets. DC Designs will release the F-14 Tomcat and F-15 Eagle (of which you can read our review for the PC version) on the console marketplace tomorrow.

Back to the PC version, two relevant airports were released today. The first is Bergamo Orio al Serio International Airport (LIME) in Italy by Tailstrike Designs.

It’s available at Aerosoft’s store for €20.45 including VAT. Here’s what you can expect and a gallery of screenshots.

  • Updated Main Terminal and Apron with the last 2021 Layout
  • Interior Terminal Modelling with Passengers
  • AFIS System
  • New North Apron
  • Full surrounding details (No Blurry Satellitare Image)
  • Animated Jetways
  • Custom Signs
  • Full Native PBR Models
  • FPS Friendly

The next airport comes from DominicDesignTeam and it’s Chubu Centrair International Airport (RJGG) serving as the main hub for Nagoya in Japan.

You can purchase it on SimMarket for $22.5 plus applicable VAT.

Below you can enjoy a trailer, screenshots, and a list of features.

  • PBR Textures
  • Dynamic Lighting
  • Real Ground Markings
  • Custom, painstakingly hand-crafted pavement, showcasing all imperfections including dirt
  • Custom jetway

The next piece of news is a funny one. The release of the free World Update 6 a couple of days ago actually included a fifth “secret” hand-crafted airport created by Gaya Simulations. It’s Helgoland (EDXH).

For some reason, its inclusion in the update was not publicized by Microsoft, but you can already enjoy it right now for free if you have downloaded the update.

JustFlight released new screenshots of its Hawk T1/A Advanced Trainer showing some really attractive liveries.

Aerosoft also released new screenshots of the upcoming de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter (which has already been confirmed for Xbox), showing the interior of the cabin of the skydiver version.

Moving on to more upcoming airports, we get another look at Zadar Airport (LDZD) by Orbx.

Apparently, this is close to its release.

Last, but not least, Drzewiecki Design provided a new look at models being worked on for Warsaw Modlin Airport (EPMO) in Poland.

On top of that, we get to take a look at new static 737 models which appear to be unpainted. This may be a hint to upcoming Boeing factory airports.

Recently, we published our 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).
