Fly 2 High has recently released their rendition of Tweed-New Haven Regional Airport (KHVN) for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, serving New Haven and the New York Metropolitan Area, with an average of 1.1 million passengers per year. The airport opened for traffic in late 1931 as New Haven Municipal Airport. Li-Con Airways Incorporated and American Airlines were the first to commercially serve the then brand-new airport in 1933 and 1934, respectively. While Li-Con’s service lasted only a year, American Airlines’ route between Boston, New Haven, and New York lasted nearly three decades. Allegheny Airlines and Allegheny Commuter took over after American Airlines ended regularly scheduled service, operating BAC One-Eleven jets until the mid-1970s. In the late 1970s, New Haven Airways kicked off their scheduled flights, becoming New Haven’s hometown airline - NewAir -, operating flights to New York (JFK and La Guardia), Philadelphia, Baltimore/Washington Intl, and Washington National with their fleet of de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter, Embraer EMB-110 Bandeirante, and Short 360s. NewAir’s operations were relatively short-lived, with operations ending in 1985. After the mid-1980s, regularly scheduled service started declining massively, with airlines starting and quickly ending operations in New Haven. It wasn’t until the 2010s that New Haven would see renewed activity. In late 2024, the airport received $ 4 million to build a new passenger terminal, aiming to replace the previous one, built nearly a century ago, with modern facilities, almost 8,000 square meters of area, and greatly improving the airport’s passenger handling capabilities. There are also plans to expand the runway. Avelo Airlines and Breeze Airways are the only two airlines currently serving the airport. The scenery promises an accurate rendition of the airport, with an up-to-date ground layout, custom terminal and airport buildings, high-resolution PBR ground textures, a detailed apron, realistic night lighting, and performance-friendly optimization. It’s available in the iniBuilds Store for roughly $9.64, requiring at least 3.36 GB of free hard disk space to install.

Fly 2 High has recently released their rendition of Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport (KBHM) for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, serving Birmingham, Alabama, with an average of 3.2 million passengers per year, making it the largest and busiest airport in the state. The airport opened in early 1931 with a single east-west runway and a two-story passenger terminal. The airport was leased to the United States Army Air Forces for $1 a year during World War 2 to support national defense, becoming Birmingham Army Airfield. The period under the US Army’s helm brought several improvements, such as new paved taxiways, a new control tower, and the construction of an aircraft modification center. Despite Birmingham being considered a potential air transportation hub for the American South, an aviation fuel tax imposed by the city made it financially unfeasible for many operators, leading Atlanta to become the preferred choice instead. ​ The airport played an important role during the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961, with pilots and crew from the Alabama National Air Guard selected to train Cuban exile fliers in Nicaragua to fly the Douglas B-26 Invader. ​ A second passenger terminal was built in 1962 to accommodate the ever-growing passenger figures, along with a new control tower. ​ Then, a new semi-circular terminal was completed in 1973 with 15 aircraft gates and a large parking deck. ​ Between 1970 and 1992, a slow demolition process began to completely demolish the original passenger terminal built in 1931. The 1990s brought multiple runway expansions to accommodate larger aircraft. ​ In 2011, the administration approved a new three-phase terminal modernization project, demolishing the old terminal from 1962, the semi-circular terminal from 1973, and constructing new facilities with 19 gates, doubling the airport’s footprint. It’s served by American Airlines, American Eagle, Delta Air Lines, Delta Connection, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, and United Express. The scenery features an accurate rendition of the airport, with custom ground textures, an up-to-date ground layout, custom jetways, accurate taxiways, custom PBR texturing, performance-friendly optimization, custom night lighting, and much more. ​ It’s available on OrbxDirect (2020 version here) for roughly $16.10, requiring at least 3.04 GB of free hard disk space.

X-Codr has recently announced a substantial update to their Airport Enhancement Package add-on for X-Plane, bringing procedurally generated life to over 36,000 airports around the globe. While the original AEP focused on replacing key assets (ground textures, common buildings, and service vehicles), AEP 2.0 aims to add to airports, not just replace assets around them. After months of development and tinkering, the developer has managed to create a program that reads and understands the global airports, procedurally generating overlays that greatly enhance the experience with tire skids on taxi routes, runways, and service roads, additional clutter at gates and near buildings, grunge, oil leaks, rust, and random ramp clutter, yielding a more lifelike experience around every airport in the simulator. While the procedural generation is the new star of the show, it doesn’t mean AEP no longer replaces assets, with over a thousand custom assets in total, including new pavement textures, service vehicles, new cars, all of the legacy hangars (and new ones), and various clutter objects. There are a couple of things that are still being worked on before release, such as more baggage cart variants, old long metal hangars, cargo area clutter, stability testing for a new feature yet to be announced, and beta testing. They also use this opportunity to seek people willing to help stress-test the new product and aid in shaping the final release through their contact page or Discord. Furthermore, the developer has also mentioned that it will be a free upgrade for AEP 1.0 owners.

FSDG has recently released their rendition of Amílcar Cabral International Airport (GVAC) for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, serving Espargos, Sal, in Cape Verde, with an average of 1.2 million passengers per year. It was built in 1939 by the Italians as a pit stop for flights from Europe to South America, though their involvement ended quickly due to World War 2. It wasn’t until the end of the conflict that Portugal purchased it from Italy and began its completion, becoming fully operational by 1949. For a bit more than a decade, between 1963 and 1975, the Portuguese Air Force operated at the airport, providing support to military air connections between Portugal and its African provinces and serving as an operational base for patrol aircraft occasionally deployed there. To this day, it’s still an important stopover for international flights and one of the most common ETOPS destinations, in case any flight encounters a failure mid-crossing the ocean. It’s a hub for Cabo Verde Airlines, and served by AlbaStar, Air Senegal, Binter Canarias, Bulgaria Air, Corendon, easyJet, Edelweiss, Enter Air, Luxair, Neos, Royal Air Maroc, Smartwings, Sunclass, TAP Air Portugal, Transavia, TUI Airways, TUI fly Belgium, TUI fly Deutschland, TUI fly Netherlands, TUI fly Nordic, and Vueling.

Furthermore, the developers have refined the Flight Management System with improved fuel planning, vertical navigation, and route editing. The holding pattern logic has also been improved. Vertical and lateral navigation were tweaked to ensure better waypoint handling, corrected constraint formatting, refined DIR TO logic, enhanced airway and manual waypoint validation, and more. Numerous cosmetic corrections were also carried out around the MCDU pages to ensure maximum acuity. The navigation tweaks brought on by this update will lay the groundwork for the implementation of FLS (Flight Management Landing System), which is already in active development. ‍ The passenger cabin has been entirely reworked, with high-resolution textures, per-variant accuracy, animated window blinds, customized lighting environments, and a fully functional cabin signage system. The core systems have also been massively improved, with engine and FADEC logic refinements across the board, spanning the start sequencing, thrust management, bleed configuration tables, and revised acceleration and breakaway behavior. ​ The add-on is available in their store for roughly $69.95 + VAT.

PMDG has recently released their rendition of the Boeing 737-900 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, nearly 50 days after bringing over the first member of the 737 lineup to the new simulator. It’s their second product built natively for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 (the 777 was mostly just a compatibility patch), with a lidar-scanned flight deck, improved textures and lighting, new sounds, upgraded systems, and more. ​ As did the 738, it leverages the simulator’s capabilities to lay the groundwork for a truly native product line that will follow after all the 737 lineup members are out (only the -700 and -600 are pending now). The complete changelog follows below: It’s available on PMDG.com for roughly $50, and owners of the MSFS 2020 version are entitled to a 60% discount ($20 total).
