Today third-party developers shared new images of upcoming add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator, while several airports have been released.
We start with the Su-27 Flanker by DC Designs, with well-known developer CodenameJack currently working on custom avionics and the flight model. We hear that the systems have been created to match the original aircraft as much as possible.
The aircraft is now nearing completion and you can check it out below.
David Rosenfeld shared new screenshots of his Milan Malpensa Airport (LIMC) for Aerosoft. This comes as welcome news as the developer had been quiet since August 2023 about this major airport that is still missing a good payware add-on.
