Pittsburgh's KPIT receives gate and parking updates, with all jetways visible and operable while WoAI traffic is supported. Jetways can be summoned by pressing CNTRL-J, and Rob Touchtone creates this change for KPIT, reflecting expanded gate access.

A freeware enhancement of the Sao Luis airfield SBSL in northern Brazil updates the ground layout and taxiway signage. Gustavo Luna creates it, using SBRF_patioLuz.bmp in the TEXTURE subfolder and .fx files placed in EFFECTS, with the SBSL - Sao Luis folder residing in ADDON SCENERY and night lighting that aids operations.

In the second edition expands Misawa AB in Japan, tripling the area and adding hangars, terminals, the main gate, the nine-story residences, and the FLR-9 antenna with Echelon radomes. Most models use a 3D tool and export .dae files, then convert them to .mdl.

At Islip, New York, the airport add-on replaces the terminal and adds parking, vehicles, and GA hangars, controlled by KISP.bgl, KISP_Lights.bgl, KISP_parklot.bgl, KISP_Ehangers.bgl, KISP_Static_GA_Aircraft.bgl, and KISP_Static_C_Aircraft.bgl. Two static aircraft files, one for GA and one for Commercial, plus a Static Helicopters file, accompany RWY12 Libraries and Abacus.

Shanard Letang presents version 1 for Cortissoz Airport (SKBQ) near Barranquilla, Colombia, with corrections applied. The record specifies the ICAO code SKBQ and the Barranquilla location in Colombia, establishing a precise reference for this facility.

By Kambiz Agazi, this modification reworks Cyril E. King Airport to reflect 2010 specifications, introducing a new VOR A approach with transitions to Runway 10 and a reconfigured control tower, GA ramp, terminal gates, and cargo parking. Three TIST2010_KA*.bgl files implement the changes, and ADE9X V1.47.7 underpins the development.

In Santa Marta, Columbia, SKSM receives a revision of Simon Bolivar Airport that correctly addresses runway numbers and realigns the runway heading. A slight landclass adjustment around the field accompanies the changes by Shanard Letang.

By Cesar Marinho, this equator region mesh correction adjusts the elevations of lakes surrounding Quito, Ecuador. It relies on the file Quito_Flatten.BGL and requires a compatible 2008-era mesh dataset to function, with the correction addressing altitude of nearby lakes and supporting accurate terrain in the Quito region.

By Patrick Finch, KSAT replaces the two passenger terminals with custom buildings and adds jetways to every gate, ensuring all gates are equipped and the layout reflects a modernized airfield plan. The crosswind runway 3/21 is activated.

By Daniel Louvet, CYGR on Havre-aux-Maisons sits on the Iles-de-la-Madeleine in the Magdalen Islands, near Cap-aux-Meules, Quebec, Canada. It provides an apron and parking for five aircraft, includes airport information and charts, and remains strictly freeware with redistribution not allowed.

Nearby in northeastern France, the airfield features photoreal ground and seasonal variants, with custom hangars and an animated windsock alongside static aircraft and livestock. It lists compatibility with three ZIP bundles and a thumbnail image alongside BGL files, while birds on the grass runway and night closure of aids are noted.

Rhett Browning delivers a fully gmaxed Terminal D addition for Dallas-Fort Worth International, replacing the 2004–2005-era model with a complete airport layout and jetways. It places KDFW_ADE_RB.bgl and KDFW_obx_rb.bgl in the KDFW-related subfolders, along with BMP textures, and carries the author’s callsign Mace.

This revision updates SeaTac, Boeing Field (KBFI), Renton (KRNT), and Paine Field (KPAE) to align with MegaScenery Earth ground imagery, expanding the artificial plateau around SeaTac, adding a third runway, and repositioning runways, taxiways, and structures to match terrain. MegaScenery Earth Washington-001 covers KSEA, KBFI, and KRNT, while Washington-002 covers KPAE.

Honolulu International (PHNL) area receives high-resolution ground data at 1.2 meters per pixel, with 4.7 meters per pixel as standard, by Gottfried Razek. The coverage spans about 12 by 12 kilometers and includes Ford Island NALF (PNPS).
Elevation adjustments fix Madeira LPMA and Porto Santo LPPS to more realistic levels, delivered as two .bgl files named Madeira LPMA and Porto Santo LPPS. John Sousa authors the fix, and the project remains freeware for users seeking a simple replacement; it replaces the elevations set by the default.

Taxiway and apron positions update to align with AIP data, and the ILS with DME is refreshed to support routes, by Gernot Zander. The update removes EDDT and EDDI; it rebuilds area, towers and SMR rise, apron E gains parking spots, while eddiweg.bgl darkens EDDI lights and shifts ILS/VOR frequencies to avoid interference with EDDB.

Navigational aids ILS and LOC are added for Kai Tak, Hong Kong, with Runway 13 featuring a 75-degree turn on final, and the update is credited to J. D. Starseed of Starseed Productions LLC, distributed for Red Eye Guys inc.
