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.

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.
