Microsoft Flight Simulator London City Airport by Orbx

Today third-party developers released a relevant airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator and provided screenshots about another. 

We start with Orbx, which released its London City Airport (EGLC) v2. It's a completely rebuilt version of the airport that was released basically at the same time as Microsoft Flight Simulator in 2020. 

It comes with the new layout and you can purchase it on Orbx Direct for $18.13. You get a 72.88% discount if you already have the older version on the same store. Below you can see a list of official features and a trailer.

  • Exquisite representation of London City Airport and its surrounds
  • HD textures throughout with PBR
  • Crisp aerial imagery for the airport
  • Updated custom groundpoly
  • High detailed model of the remote digital control tower
  • Updated with the east apron and taxiway extension
  • Rebuilt ATC tower with interior
  • Improved main terminal, Private Jet Centre and Docklands campus
  • Optimised further for better performance on PC and Xbox
  • Works seamlessly with Landmarks London City Pack

It's worth mentioning that this is a completely separate release from the rendition by UK2000 Scenery released a few days ago.

New screenshots have been released for Pilot Experience Sim's Brest Bretagne Airport (LFRB) in France. This one as well is a completely different rendition compared to the one released a few days ago by 3DVirtualSim. 

The developer promises "a level of quality, detail and realism both on ground and buildings design unmatched at the best price" (sic) and previews of the terminal in a couple of weeks.
