Right in the Middle: Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (KBJC) by Propair Flight

Propair Flight (propairflight.com) from Hungary has a knack for heading to the U.S. and recreating smaller airfields for flight simulation. After St. George in Utah (see the special “Off the US Mainlines”), the team turned to Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport—better known to simmers by its ICAO, KBJC—for MSFS 2020 and 2024. More recently, they also released Goose Bay in Canada.

Port Lincoln Airport YPLC: Small, Fine and Virtually a Grand Appearance

Review: It Doesn’t Even Exist Yet – Western Sydney International Airport

It seems like there simply aren’t enough airports left that deserve to be brought into flight simulation. Why else would Drzewiecki Design choose to recreate the still-under-construction Western Sydney International Airport for MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024? The answer is as simple as it is straightforward: because DD could do it (with the help of local supporters). The result is a nearly finished virtual airport just waiting for its real-world opening, which is scheduled for late 2026.

Review: Off to Down Under – Adelaide Airport for MSFS 2020 & 2024

The airport of Adelaide has now established a permanent place in the flight simulator community. AUScene first presented the airport back in 2013 for FSX and Prepar3D (P3D) v2, and today compatibility extends to P3D v5. In 2021, the first MSFS 2020 scenery was released by Impulse Simulations, and in July 2025, MK Studios (MKS) finally released its long-awaited add-on for MSFS 2020 & 2024. The developer studio MKS has gained experience with 44 airports worldwide – including destinations in Europe, Japan, the USA, and recently Australia.

Review: Challenging Approaches to Samos for MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024

Fortunately for us virtual pilots, there are small, exquisite flight destinations like the airport of the Greek island of Samos, known for its somewhat perilous visual approaches. It is no surprise that this small airfield has been recreated four times to date: first in July 2016 by 29Palms for FSX, FSX:SE, and Prepar3D (P3D) v3. This add-on is currently also compatible with P3D v4 and v5. In December 2020, Terrainy Studio followed up with a version for MSFS 2020 and in January, Skyline Simulations created one for X-Plane 11. At the end of June 2025, MM Simulations (www.mmsimulations.com) released their rendition for MSFS 2020 and 2024, which will be discussed below.

FSLabs A321NEO in Daily Operation: A Flight Report to Ibiza

The latest creation from FSLabs, the A321Neo, has mostly been welcomed with joy by the community. However, since Fenix Simulations is also planning to release a Neo series at some undetermined point in the future, there’s always a bit of uncertainty with the question: “What should I buy?” While a direct comparison isn’t possible yet, today I want to put the FSLabs aircraft under the microscope. Since, in my view, plenty of reviews of the add-on have already appeared, I want to tackle today’s article again in the form of a personal flight report.

Review: Pretty Good for X-Plane 12 – Hamburg for the “Other” Flight Simulator

Hamburg has a long tradition, not only in real life but also in flight simulation. The airfield https://www.hamburg-airport.de with the IATA and ICAO codes HAM and EDDH was opened in January 1911, then as a 45-hectare mooring area for airships. Meanwhile, the airport has expanded to 570 hectares and cannot be extended any further due to the adjacent buildings.

Review: Findel – Luxembourg Airport ELLX

The only international airport of Luxembourg is one of the most frequently implemented in the history of flight simulation: Christoph Rieger brought the airport (together
