Third-party developers had a couple of reveals to share about upcoming Microsoft Flight Simulator add-ons, on top of an airport release.
We start with PILOT'S GesmbH, which released an interesting new video of the venerable de Havilland Canada Dash 7.
The video showcases the fact that when you shut the engines down, the landing gear doors will slowly drop as the pressure in the hydraulic lines drains.
SimNord released new screenshots of the upcoming Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup (EKCH) in Denmark. At the moment, we don't know when the airport will be released, but it's a massive hub, so it's not surprising that it's taking time.
Last, but not least, Northern Sky Studio released another scenic airport in Alaska, Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport (PASI). It's currently available on Simmarket for $18.30 promising the following goodies.
- The most detailed replica of airport buildings and vehicles
- Custom surroundings
- All materials created for full PBR
- Shading and occlusion (texture baking) effects on all airport buildings
- High-resolution building textures
- Use of native, highly efficient gITF models
- Custom orthophoto for the airport and surrounding areas
