Prepar3D developer Georgian Virtual Airports has released their anticipated freeware of the Ambrolauri (UGAM) scenery. The airport is located in the country of Georgia, in between the banks of the Rioni river, giving you a beautiful sight at the mountains and surrounding landscape as you are soaring by.

The developer has mentioned in their release that the airport is modeled very accurately to its real world counterpart, and even if you can only take your smaller aircraft flying around in the region, an aircraft the size of the Dash 8 is always welcome.

With the use of Orbx FTX Global, you can bring your scenery to the next level with seasonal photoscenery and accurately modeled surrounding areas of the field, while also experiencing the thousands of autogen objects placed throughout the landscape.

Some features of the newly released scenery include:

• Accurate rendition of the airport in Ambrolauri
• Seasonal Photoscenery of the surrounding area and the whole city of Ambrolauri. Optimized for Orbx FTX Global
• Thousands of hand-placed autogen objects in the whole area
• Several POIs in the city, which are easily recognizable during the approach
• Animated Windsocks (SODE required)
• Optimized for P3Dv4/5
• Volumetric Grass

To find out more about the scenery, its history and all that it provides, you can head over to FS Downloads and get your free copy today or head over to Georgian Airport Sceneries to check out more of their work and expanding library.

David Rosenfeld has confirmed that his long-awaited Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport (LLBG) is finally in beta testing. Posting earlier today on Facebook, the developer also shared a handful of new images to commemorate the milestone. Whilst this is marked as Beta1, we’re hopeful that not too many will be required before being released.

Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport is the main international airport of Israel, and is also the busiest airport in the country. Serving over 24 million passengers in 2019 with airlines such as EI AI, Israir Airlines, Wizz Air and many more. The range of runways and terminal buildings mean it can server both smaller aircraft and larger aircraft for those long-hauls. It also has a busy cargo hub which sees operators such as FedEx, DHL and others frequent the airport.

Ben Gurion Airport from David Rosenfeld has been in development for a long while and it entering beta marks the start of a release plan. Once we hear more, we’ll let you know. You can see a range of other previews from earlier in development here.

Drzewiecki Design has released version 3 of their popular Polish Airports Volume 1 series. Volume 1 contains Gdańsk, Katowice, Rzeszów and Lublin airport. Version 3 comes with some significant updates over the previous version, with notable features such as SAM jetways support at all airports (including marshaller and VGDS), new terminals with interiors for some airports and up-to-date PBR textures, layouts, markings and more. But perhaps most significant is that the entire scenery is now fully functional under Vulcan, which has recently been added to X-Plane 11 as new rendering engine.

Polish Airports Vol. 1 Version 3 is available on SimMarket for €28,46. Customers that have previously purchased version 1 or version 2 of this scenery package, are entitled to a discount which will make the upgrade price €19,92. Another special discount applies for customers of Drzewiecki Design’s Chicago Airports XP.
