You can find it on Simmarket for approximately $22 plus applicable VAT.

The next release goes well with Manila and it’s actually free on Simmarket, it’s Dipolog Airport (RPMG) in the Philippines by Airwil Sceneries. Can’t really go wrong with free.

We stay in SouthEast Asia with a city package. AviaJam released its Kuala Lumpur package on Simmarket to improve the capital of Malayisia. It’s priced at $12 and comes with plenty of landmarks. It even includes the Sepang F1 circuit.

More new screenshots come by way of Axonos, which offered another look at Perth Airport (YPPH) in Australia. This one should also be pretty close to release.

Next is Gate15Scenery and their Okegawa Airfrield (RJT1) in Japan. The screenshots portray the Okegawa Sports Land racing track located right by the airfield.

Last, but not least, Carenado released more screenshots of its Piper PA-34T Seneca V. Apparently, these are the last before release.

Recently, we published our massive interview with head of Microsoft Flight Simulator Jorg Neumann, who provided a lot of new info about the present and future of the sim. Yesterday we also received lots of new details about upcoming content including two new aircraft and a world update focused on Nordic countries.
