SoFly has announced its rendition of Hannover Airport (EDDV) will release on May 15th 2025 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
Hannover Airport is one of Germany’s biggest, with frequent flights to cities like Palma de Mallorca, Antalya, Vienna, Amsterdam, and Munich. The airport has two primary runways, 3 parts of the terminal building, and space for various GA operations.
SoFly also shared the feature list for the upcoming airport product. The company says Hannover will feature moving ground transport (bus and metro), animated and moving people inside the terminal, working escalators, and snow buildup during the winter months. Furthermore, SoFly says that the airport will have “immersive audio” throughout the airport exterior and interior, including general airport noise, ATC chatter, and even sound effects in the restrooms.
Finally, SoFly confirmed that Hannover will be part of their Airport Product Transfer Programme (presumably with JustSim’s 2021 rendition), but did not specify the exact discount those customers can transfer for.
Expect a trailer to be shared a few days before the official release on May 15th 2025, with some short ‘feature’ videos shared over the coming days demonstrating many of the points below. The product page is live with additional information and screenshots. No pricing details have been confirmed as the time of writing.
