Papa Delta Studio has launched its first scenery for Microsoft Flight Simulator: EPSC Szczecin-Goleniów Airport MSFS. This scenery offers a detailed recreation of Szczecin-Goleniów Airport (IATA: SZZ, ICAO: EPSC) in Poland and is compatible with both MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024. This new MSFS scenery brings a highly detailed and realistic rendition of a regional airport to the simulator.
About the Developer
Papa Delta Studio is a well-known name in the flight simulation community. Before this release, the developer launched a free, highly praised version of Kraków-Balice Airport (EPKK) on flightsim.to. This scenery was recently updated to version 0.9, offering even more detail. The Kraków scenery was the first recreation of the airport after the completion of the apron renovation in July 2024. This highlights Papa Delta Studio’s commitment to providing up-to-date and accurate flight simulation experiences.
About Szczecin-Goleniów Airport
Szczecin-Goleniów Airport (IATA: SZZ, ICAO: EPSC) is an important international airport in northern Poland. Located approximately 45 km northeast of Szczecin, it plays a central role in the regional and international connectivity of the West Pomerania region. In addition to domestic connections, such as to Warsaw and Krakow, the airport also offers international flights to destinations in the UK, Norway, and popular summer vacation spots. This Polish airport is a key hub for the region.
Scenery Highlights
The Papa Delta Studio scenery recreates the airport with a high level of detail and offers numerous features:
- The airport has a 2,500-meter runway (13/31) and is equipped with modern navigation systems such as ILS CAT I (RW 31 only) and VOR to ensure operation even in difficult weather conditions. Extensive modernizations are planned in the coming years to meet the increasing passenger demand.

Compatibility
The scenery was developed for MSFS 2020 but is also compatible with MSFS 2024. Minor visual errors such as ground texture anomalies may occur in MSFS 2024 but will be fixed in future updates. This ensures a seamless experience across different versions of the flight simulator.
Conclusion
With the Szczecin-Goleniów Airport scenery, Papa Delta Studio demonstrates once again that smaller regional airports do not have to be neglected in flight simulation. The detailed design, FPS-friendly implementation, and affordable price make this scenery an excellent addition for MSFS enthusiasts. The first review on simMarket gives it 5 out of 5 stars. This airport scenery is a must-have for virtual pilots.
