Third-party developers have shared new screenshots of upcoming add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator, while three airports and an interesting utility have been released.
We start with BlueBird Simulations' Boeing 757, which received a new gallery of screenshots.
We get to see the untextured model of the reworked virtual cockpit as the developers are working on the ambient occlusion. Next month we'll see a small video update and an in-depth preview will happen at Flight Sim Expo in June.
Next, Drzewiecki Design shared new screenshots of its Warsaw Landmarks add-on, also including several minor airfields and heliports. We learn that this is the last batch of screenshots before the scenery's release, so it should be really close.
