Following the announcement back in March, we’re incredibly excited to announce that our Bringing an Airport to Life Documentary Series will launch on May 13th. Created in partnership with Flightbeam Studios and JetStream Design, we take you on a journey to Phoenix Sky Harbour Airport and show you how the teams bring the US airport to life.
Over the course of four episodes, Spencer from FSElite interviews the team, follows them on a landside and airside survey and then catches up with them a few months later to check how progress is. We go deep into what equipment is used, how and why they capture certain elements and how this all translates into becoming a model and texture for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Starting May 13th 2026, each episode will drop weekly at 18:00z on our YouTube Channel and FSElite. But if you want to access content early, then why not check out our Season Pass?
Keep an eye on our main page for the series right here.
Access Content Early With the Season Pass
We hope you’re excited about the documentary series just as we were to make it. We know that many of you want to be the first to access content ahead of time, which is why we’re introducing our very first Season Pass with the documentary series.
A Season Pass will give you early access to each episode before they drop on YouTube. One week before the episode releases on YouTube, you can access the content completely ad-free and in 4K right here on FSElite. This means episodes 1 & 2 will be available on May 13th 2026, for Season Pass holders.
Furthermore, we have exclusive ‘Cut for Time’ content just for Season Pass holders.
Content will be unlocked from May 13th at 18:00z, so be sure to check back then
