Explore Napoleon’s island in MSFS with France VFR’s Corsica Airports Pack. A detailed review of Ajaccio, Bastia, Calvi, and Figari sceneries for 2020 and 2024
It is remarkable how a piece of hardware that took years to reach the mass market can prove itself absolutely indispensable in the blink of an eye! To put it simply: the immersion during flight preparation and system management elevates the simulation to a completely new level. For true Airbus enthusiasts, this panel is the missing piece of the puzzle.
On January 8, 2026, MK Studios (MKS) released Rome Fiumicino v2 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, a decade after their Aerosoft-commissioned Mega Airport Rome featured in FS MAGAZIN 1/2016 (“Simulatus Populusque Romanum”). The first edition supported FSX, FSX:SE, and Prepar3D v1–v3, later extended to P3D v4 (v1.04). Time to head for the Eternal City.
The competition in the affordable flight simulation hardware market is fierce. More and more manufacturers are entering this segment, producing in China and flooding the global market with their products. For the customer, this means one thing above all: a massive selection!
Dear readers and fellow flight simmers, As 2025 prepares for its final landing, we want to take a moment to look back on a fantastic
The Hahn Airport in the Hunsrück region, often simply called “the Hahn,” was first released as “Frankfurt-Hahn X” for Aerosoft back in 2012. This was the work of Peter Werlitz, Martin Schmiescheck, and Oliver Pabst for FS X. In 2013, Aerosoft released “German Regional Airports” featuring Hahn for FS X, as well as “Airport Frankfurt-Hahn” for X-Plane 10 and 11. RFSceneryBuilding (RFSB) launched their version for Prepar3D (P3D) v5 in 2020 and for MSFS 2020 in mid-2023. In October 2025, M’M Simulations (MMS) released their own design for MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024.
In mid-2024, M’M Simulations (MMS) released their rendition of Vilnius International Airport for MSFS 2020, later updating it for MSFS 2024. The add-on garnered praise from the community. Now, Lisium, known for their expertise in the region, has taken the initiative to create an even more refined version for both “sensational” simulators. Lisium rose to scene fame after their detailed Riga Airport release in January 2025. Let’s take a closer look at their Vilnius creation…
In November 2014, Fly Tampa (FT) released a first rendition of Copenhagen Airport for FSX and P3D v3. In April 2020, the version for Prepar3D (P3D) v4 and 5 followed, and in May 2020, the variant for X-Plane 11 appeared. In November of the same year, an edition for MSFS 2020 was released.
Even in MSFS 2024, bridges still mostly look anything but appealing. This is mainly due to the fact that satellite radar images can only depict bridges from above. This technique creates unsightly and often unrealistic bridge structures from a side perspective, which are unattractive to sim pilots, especially at low altitudes. A good example of this is the Interstate Bridge over the Columbia River north of Portland, which is flown over during the approach to Portland International Airport (KPDX, superbly implemented by iBlueYonder and FlightBeam Studios).
Australia continues to draw the attention of designers—apart from Drzewiecki Design and Fly Tampa, it’s mostly local labels like AUScene making waves. In the second week of September, AUScene released Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport for MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024. Let’s take off and see what’s waiting there…
