Following the release of Ponta Delgada for Prepar3D earlier this year, MK-Studios’ Ponta Delgada will be coming soon to Microsoft Flight Simulator. Listed on Orbx’s ‘Coming Soon’ page, the airport’s product page has been spotted and is full of details and screenshots.
Situated out in the Atlantic ocean as part of the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores, the island of Ponta Delgada is a key hub for airlines such as Azores Airlines, Ryanair and SATA. João Paulo II Airport (LPPD) is connected by various airlines and serves destinations such as Funchal, London, Lisbon, Porto, Amsterdam, and others.
Thanks to the product page, we know that the airport will be designed using the latest technology and that the ground layout will be accurate based on the current data. Furthermore, there will also be a simplified terminal interior model for those looking to go exploring inside. Despite this, the team says that the airport has been optimised for high performance.
Whilst the product page is live, there is still no release date attached to MK-Studios’ Ponta Delgada for MSFS just yet. Once this changes, we’ll let you know.
