Following the news yesterday that Imaginesim are bringing out a new Singapore Changi Airport (WSSS) for Prepar3D, the development team has now released the product.
The all-new build of the airport comes with new texturing, modelling, and improved performance. The primary focus of the new version is to bring it in-line with the current airport layout and it’s new taxiways and runways.
Imaginesim went back to the drawing board for this release, creating brand new assets for the whole airport. With the airport itself going through significant changes, Imaginesim has brought those changes to the simulator version. The new 02R/20L runway has been built, along with the additional 40km of new taxiway. Buildings have been added, signing is reflective of the real-world airport and the mid-field area now depicts the now defunct runway.
Alongside the airport, Imaginesim has also included the city center of Singapore as well. This free addition is an option to toggle on or off, but it adds the unique cityscape of Singapore to Prepar3D. This is particularly visually appealing as you take off from the airport, considering just how close the centre is to the airport. In total, Singapore 2023 covers 52 square KM of the airport area.
If you owned the original Singapore release for Prepar3D, you can upgrade for £9.99. Otherwise, if you’re new to purchasing it, then you can pick it up for £25.99 from their store.
A Microsoft Flight Simulator version is planned for later in the year.
