Today third-party developers had a lot of news to share about upcoming add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator, on top of a release.

We start with Digital Design, which will release Lyon–Saint-Exupéry Airport (LFLL). According to the developer is coming this week.

It’s one of the busiest airports in France, so it’s bound to be a welcome addition to the simulator.

RDPresets is also bringing an airport next week, on July 20. It’s Naples International Airport (LIRN) also known as Napoli-Capodichino Ugo Niutta Airport.

It’s the fifth busiest in Italy and a relevant destination in the south of the country. it’s worth mentioning that this is a separate project from the previously-announced RoChi Studio’s rendition which may be dead considering that the developer hasn’t said a word since May 2021.

Something completely different is coming from iniBuilds tomorrow, July 18. It’s LAPD Hooper Heliport (58CA) in Los Angeles, California, US.

We then get an aircraft announcement from Pilot Experience Sim, which is working on a “study level” Maule M7-235. The plan is to release it in early 2023.

Below you can read about the aircraft and see a few WIP screenshots of the 3D model.

Orbx released new screenshots of its newly-announced South America mesh.

VerticalSim also released new screenshots of Boise Airport (KBOI) in the United States, which apparently is “on final.”

Last, but not least, SamScene3D released its Beijing City Times landmark add-o, which looks like a great complement to the airport released a few days ago.

You can purchase it at the developer’s own store for $15.99.
