A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one! Over on the Aerosoft forums, Mathijs Kok announced they are working on Chania, Crete (LGSA). The announcement was coupled by a few previews of the scenery, and an extensive list of features. Unfortunately more information on the project wasn’t given yet, and that’s including the name of the scenery which, according to Mathijs’ post, has yet to be determined. But for now we can look forward to high detail models and textures, custom autogen in the area surrounding the airport, seasonal textures and more.
Chania is a popular tourist destination on the island of Crete, particularly with those from Nordic countries. Its airport is the 6th busiest in all of Greece, and offers a long list of (almost entirely seasonal) destinations all over Europe.
