Third-party developers shared news about Microsoft Flight Simulator add-ons focusing on upcoming aircraft, and airports.

We start with Carenado, which provided new screenshots of its upcoming Piper PA-28-181 Archer II.

At the moment, details about it are scarce, including the release window and pricing.

Aerosoft announced another airport in Germany, Porta Westfalica (EDVY).

This is another small airfield located in North Rhine-Westphalia. Of course, it focuses on general aviation and doesn’t have scheduled flights.

According to the developer, it’s “not far away” from release. You can already see some screenshots below.

Speaking of smaller airports, Burning Blue Design released another of its airfields in the UK, Solent Airport (EGHF).

You can find it at the developer’s own store for £14.95. It’ll also launch on Orbx Direct and on the official marketplace soon.

Below you can take a look at what you can expect.
