Today two third-party developers had a release and news to share for Microsoft Flight Simulator add-ons, specifically focusing on scenery. 

We start with iniBuilds, which launched Southampton Airport (EGHI) in the UK. This relevant airport in the south of England certainly looks the part and appears to display the usual quality the developer is known for.

You can purchase it on iniBuilds' own store or Simmarket for $15.85. It promises the following perks:

  • Hand crafted ground poly, textures with crisp, bespoke texture sets (Runways, aprons, paths, roads)
  • True-to-life airport land side recreation with custom ground decals, signposts, vegetation, parking barriers and more
  • Accurately modelled and positioned dynamic airport lighting
  • Highly detailed models of all airport buildings, objects and surroundings
  • Bespoke taxi signage as it is in the real world
  • Up to date airport layout reflecting the current, real-world location
  • Fully modelled local POI's and surrounding buildings including Mercedes Garage, HSBC building, Premier Inn & Southampton Station
  • Level of Detail (LOD) optimisation for every model to encourage the best performance possible
  • Full iniManager compatibility to configure your scenery for the best possible performance for your system
  • Custom GSX profile included
  • Latest airport configuration including newly re-surfaced and extended runway!

Another scenery add-on has been announced by Flight Sim Development Group, and it's another of the series dedicated to German regions. 

This time around, it's dedicated to Schleswig-Holstein and the city of Hamburg. Below you can enjoy some sample images.

A release window has not been shared.
