Burning Blue Design, known for UK airports Headcorn-Lashenden and Lydd, has previewed their third project for Microsoft Flight Simulator, Farnborough International Airport.

Farnborough International is located in Hampshire, just forty miles South West of London. It is known as the home of aviation in both the UK and Europe as it is known for hosting the world famous Farnborough Airshow. Many aircraft have been shown off to the public and private buyers at Farnborough such as the Antonov An-225 Mriya, Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Airbus A380.

When not hosting the bi-annual airshow, the international airport hosts private jets from around the globe ranging from small Cessna Citations to Boeing Business Jets. The airport was home of developmental aircraft of the Ministry Of Defence until it was purchased by current Luxembourg based operators, TAG aviation in 2003. 

French scenery developer Prealsoft has published today on Simmarket a Paris Landmarks add-on designed exclusively for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The scenery features a redesign of many of the most famous landmarks of Paris and the addition of 19 custom bridges across the Seine river. The business district called “La Défense”, while technically not in Paris is also included. All objects use PBR textures and have received night treatment – all default POI have also received a dedicated night enhancements. The developer promises that more POIs will be included in future updates that shall remain free.

The Prealsoft Paris Landmarks is available on Simmarket for €10.70

After a series of image previews for the Just Flight PA-28R Arrow III for Microsoft Flight Simulator, a brand new 2-minute first look video has been shared highlighting the GA aircraft in the new simulator.

The video showcases the aircraft’s exterior modelling. The detailed modelling and impressive animations highlight how Just Flight has brought the aircraft to life in the new simulator. There is also a clear use of PBR material on the skin of the plane as the sun reflects the light off of the metallic fuselage. In the cockpit, we can see the high-quality texture work, moving dials and also the navigation equipment in use. The video also confirms the incorporation of a new built-in EFB. Details on how the EFB will function are not known as it simply displays “loading” on the screen throughout the video.

The PA-28R Arrow III for Microsoft Flight Simulator is still in development by Just Flight and we’re keen to learn more. We’ll keep you updated with the latest on the product. Be sure to check out the last series of previews for the aircraft, or if you’re more into jet aircraft, then the previews for the Just Flight A300 may be more for you.
