After our exclusive announcement earlier this week, LatinVFR has released its new AREX: Airport Regional Environment X North America for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The new utility pack adds new custom liveries for ground service equipment, push back trucks and airport traffic across airports throughout North America and Canada.
The utility add-on includes logos and skins for most of North America’s ground handling and catering companies and injects realistic-looking vehicles into airports in the region. This includes push back trucks, airport traffic and service equipment such as the ground power unit. Further to the replacement of ground service equipment looks, customised sounds for animations have also been added to the vehicles. We know that ASIG, Swissport and Menzies are included as part of the ground handling pack, with LSG, Gate Gourmet and Flying foods leading the way for the top catering companies included. The full list of included airlines in the pack is down below.
Whereas other products such as GSX or Pushback Express add new vehicles, AREX instead uses the default vehicles to make the airport environment more realistic. It is confirmed that the plan is for AREX to work in conjunction with GSX by FSDreamTeam for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
If you buy the product with the Contrail add-on, you will be able to select airline liveries for aircraft ground handling vehicles.
You can buy AREX: Airport Regional Environment X North America for Microsoft Flight Simulator now from LatinVFR’s store ($9.99 USD) or the Contrail Store right now (€8,28) It will appear in the Microsoft Flight Simulator store in the near future.
