Third-party developers showcased upcoming add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator and released two American airports.
We start with BlueBird Simulations' Boeing 757, which was showcased in a rather impressive video.
We get an update on the state of development (including an explanation of the inclusion of the circuit breakers), on top of a demo of the sounds, the windmilling effect of the engines, and an extensive look at the air conditioning system, which is simulated in considerable depth.
Another video comes from Fly2High, showing off the upcoming Yeosu Airport (RKJY), one of the southernmost airports in South Korea.
