The third-party add-on industry for Microsoft Flight Simulator never stops, and today there are some interesting news from a variety of developers.
First of all, Orbx released a landmark packs reproducing the iconic Xinyi District in Taipei, Taiwan. This is actually entirely free thanks to a sponsorship by Nvidia to celebrate Computex.
You can see what it looks like below alongside a list of landmarks and download it on Orbx Direct.
I guess Nvidia wanted to make it up for the new video cards they announced that almost no one will be able to purchase
- Taipei 101
- Taipei Nanshan Plaza
- Cathay Landmark
- Farglory Financial Center
- Taipei City Hall
- Taipei World Trade Center
- International Trade Building
- W Hotel Taipei
- Hua Nan Bank World Trade Building
- Cathay Financial Center
- Taipei Dome
- Agora Garden
- Kelti Group Headquarters
- National Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall
- Chinese Petroleum Building
- President Enterprise Corporation Tower
- Taipei Sky Tower
- Fubon Group Xinyi Headquarters
Next is Burning Blue Design, which released new screenshots of White Waltham (EGLM).
While it’s an all-grass airfield, it punches above its weight in terms of historical relevance, and it’s the largest grass airfield in civilian use in Europe.
I guess White Waltham is the appropriate place to mention that Aeroplane Heaven decided to delay its Spitfire Mk 1a and to focus on releasing the DC-3 first instead.
I guess they have heard the call for a Dakota in my review of Catalina airport.
Last, but not least, Airwil Sceneries brings us to the Philippines with the announcement of Boracay Airport (Godofredo P. Ramos Airport RPVE), home to a healthy amount of regional and domestic airliner traffic.
You can see what it looks like below.
