The TerraBuilder team recently took to the MSFS forum to share new screenshots of their upcoming Kennedy Space Center scenery for MSFS.
NASA’s Kennedy Space Center is located in Merritt Island, Florida, about an hour drive from Orlando. Since opening in the early 1960s, the Kennedy Space Center has been the launch point for many historic space missions, including the Apollo and Space Shuttle programs. To this day, the space center still serves as NASA’s primary hub for launching spacecraft. The sprawling 144,000-acre campus houses 700 facilities, including the Shuttle Landing Facility and Visitor Complex.
Throughout the summer, TerraBuilder has shared various updates on the scenery’s progress. In this latest update, we get to see the early work being done on Launch Pad 39B, the launch pad that is supporting the Artemis missions.
Previously, the team stated in the forum that they are aiming for a September release. They went on to describe that the initial release will focus on the Vehicle Assembly Area (VAB), Launch Pads 39A and 39B, the Shuttle Landing Facility, and all the industrial areas spanning down to the Booster Fabrication Facility. After release, free updates will be regularly released to ensure the scenery remains as accurate as possible. Eventually, full on-demand rocket launches will be implemented; however, that won’t be included in the initial release.
Overall, much to the flight simulator community’s delight, TerraBuilder continues to make steady progress on their Kennedy Space Center scenery. It will be interesting to see how the scenery takes shape as we get closer to the release date.
