Crafted by Roger Leupold, Parafield aerodrome aligns runway layouts and adjacent structures using Google Earth references to mirror airport geometry, with hangars and terminal areas distributed to resemble real ground operations. Parafield sits about 18 kilometers north of Adelaide in South Australia and handles extensive general aviation training traffic.

In Maine, Bangor International Airport gains an improved layout with adjusted aprons, taxiways, and roads, plus GA parking and military cargo and combat parking at Air National Guard apron, moved boundary fence, and a fire station with static vehicles. Two files, KBGR_AFX_JC.bgl and KBGR_JC.bgl, are provided, by Jim Cook, with no additional object libraries required.

Two destroyer configurations and three frigates are included, each available in both static and AI variants. Destroyer options include Original Fit with Sea Slug and Sea Cat alongside 20 mm mounts, plus a Batch 2 conversion adding Exocet missiles; frigates cover HMS Euryalus F15, HMS Leander F109, and HMS Andromeda F57, with helicopter-capable decks.
Jean-Claude Irle develops a Millau Viaduct scene using SDK-SP2 and GMAX, with three dedicated folders PontMillau_Routes, PontMillauExclude_Trafic, PontMillauViaduc and an Effects directory. Optimized with mesh from France VFR and UTX Europe, it notes potential traffic issues when SP1 is used and remains available free of charge.

In Nelspruit, the Mbombela Stadium replica is freeware and built for the 2010 FIFA World Cup hosted in South Africa. Philip Schall of PSDS creates it from a custom designed object with a photoreal base.

The project centers on Millville Municipal Airport (KMIV) and the Wheels and Wings gathering, anchored by David Schultz Airshows LLC, with a lineup that includes Blue Angels, Thunderbirds, Snowbirds, F-15, A-10, and P-51. Built with Airport Design Editor by Holden Smith.

Eighteen lighthouses line the Pacific Northwest coast of British Columbia, each staffed by the Canadian Coast Guard and featuring a helipad linked to real-world locations. Flights begin at every helipad, and the design emphasizes a 10-meter mesh to keep geometry efficient for VFR bush pilots along the BC coast, by Mike Mann.

By Alf Denham, three UK aerodromes receive placement refinements including Maypole (EGHB) near Kent, a grass-strip with improved hangar layout, Seething (EGSJ) in Norfolk with more precise markings and adjusted taxiways, and Belle Vue (X1BE) featuring custom structures and foliage to mirror real geography, using Google Earth imagery and Airport Design Editor version 1.35.

An enhanced version adds Military_Cargo and Military_Combat parking spaces, alongside commercial and GA areas, and tightens taxiways and aprons. Two BGL files, AFX_KYUM_JC.bgl and KYUM_JC.bgl, accompany the change, and real-world KYUM changes to KNYL, by Jim Cook.

The Pontarlier airfield sits in Franche-Comté, near the Swiss border, and serves general aviation with ULM activity. Not compatible with earlier versions, it shows a single runway instead of the two real ones, by Dominique M. L. Donzelot.

Elevation data with mesh LOD10, land cover, water polygons, rivers, streams, lanes and shorelines surround Nunavut airports in Canada. Mary River runway CMR2 (N71 19 27 W79 21 25) is included, and a note instructs removing Alert_Road_OBX.BGL and CVX_Alert_Road.BGL when using canalert.zip, by Gilles Gauthier.

Manuel Seiwald crafts a Naxos LGNX enhancement featuring an upgraded apron, revised parking bays, and custom buildings that reflect Cycladic architecture and fit the local terrain. The archive contains naxosairport.zip and the Naxos 1.0 folder.

NZNP, known as New Plymouth Regional Airport, sits on the North Island’s central west coast in Taranaki. It runs on SP2 without Acceleration, with Vector Landclass VLC installed, and uses Flight1 Software, an Object Placer tool, and Airport Facilitator X to place objects; Mike Andrews for buildings, Lawrie Roache for placement, and work is freeware.
Ahmed Al Jaber (OKAJ) sits 75 miles from the Iraqi border, south of Kuwait City, and is depicted as it stood in 2001–2002 with enhanced areas around the flightline. Object libraries include ez_c130a.zip by John Stinstrom and ez_ac_shelters_1.zip by Kevin Burns, Ahmed_Al_Jaber folder added to the Addon library area.

Creator Scott Armstrong releases version 2.0 of a photoreal depiction of the western Hawaiian island off Kauai, with a ground resolution of 1.19 meters per pixel and seamless water blending. The work notes there is no airfield on the island, and enhancements address mesh alignment and border removal.

Located in Korea’s southwestern region, Muan Intl (RKJB) sits and features a single north-south runway 01/19 with ILS on both ends and ALSF-1 lighting, plus a parallel taxiway to the ramp, since its opening in November 2007. Two editvoicepack files adjust ATC pronunciation, and additional navigation waypoints extend beyond the default.

KTTA, a public-use field northeast of Sanford, North Carolina, is owned by the Sanford-Lee County Regional Airport Authority and carries a new designation within the Sanford-Lee County area. The changes add parking and aprons, label taxiways, add buildings, and introduce a nearby lake and roads.

Del Caribe Airport (SVMG) anchors a Margarita Island layout, with Margarita Air Races Airport (MIRA) and nine CSP Race Gates tied to VORs 108.00–108.80 plus MIRB, MIRC and MIRD, while trafficcsp.bgl enables a landable carrier from Jacksonville, FL to Margarita via Cocoa Beach and Miami, accompanied by a cargo vessel and two cruise ships.

Jon Masterson creates EDKL Leverkusen-Kurtekotten as version 0.4, the first airfield built with a design tool. It uses standard library objects, so the appearance and colors of buildings differ; a free third-party library by Dirk Cremer is required for proper operation.

Gera Godoy Canova presents four photoreal villages along tributaries of the Peruvian Amazon, with some sites featuring small airfields and others offering deep grass landing areas. Folders hold .bgl and LC files in one location and .BMP images in another, and the work remains freeware and cannot be used commercially.
