An extensive update for Orbx’s Orcas Island (KORS) on Microsoft Flight Simulator has been released via Orbx Central. The new update adds new features, improves various parts of the airport and also fixes some issues reported by the community.
New additions to the airport scenery include new airport signage, additional points of interest and a new helipad at the medical heliport near the airport itself. Furthermore, Runway End Identifier Lights (REIL) have been added to both runway ends making those approaches more realistic and a bit easier.
Along with the new features, various improvements have also been made to the airport product. Road textures and various parts of orthophotography have been cleaned up, whilst glitchy static aircraft have been removed. Furthermore, there are new and improved cars and trucks in the area and additional parking spots for aircraft have been added.
The update is freely available to download through Orbx Central now. If you don’t already own Orbx’s Orcas Island for Microsoft Flight Simulator, you can buy it for $17.99AUD from Orbx Direct.
