By Frank, with Raimondo’s support, Croda Rossa presents a two-meter terrain overlay created from real aerial imagery collected by a local pilot and designed to stack over ItalVFR’s Trentino coverage. The enhancement remains usable as a standalone add-on and remains layered to prioritize Alpine peak details in Northern Italy, particularly Croda Rossa.

Roger Leupold presents a project depicting Ayers Rock, the airport and resort near Uluru in the Northern Territory, Australia. Aerial imagery guides place runways and objects to resemble the actual airport, with credits given to Scuffy Ducks’ design program for making the work possible.

Ortia Fix adds the author’s Secunda base (FASC) and aligns with the real FAJS layout as OR Tambo Intl Airport FAJS V1.2. Wessel Bonnet lists a .bgl file detailing apron redesigns and corrected B-apron gate counts, preserving freeware status.

Rotterdam The Hague Airport is added to the Version 4 series, with the NL2000 v4.0.20 installer for proper integration. It delivers custom terminal facades, photo-real surface imagery of runways and aprons, and animated ground vehicles around the Rotterdam area near The Hague.

CAM3 centers on the Duncan airstrip on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, presented as v1 with add-ons such as a burger joint, extra hangars, 3D people, and gravel industrial operations. Three text files—btfw_cam3_airport_objects.txt, btfw_cam3_gravel_industrial_operations_objects.txt, and btfw_cam3_sproat_lake_objects.txt—list required freeware libraries, while custom rocks and 3D figures install automatically.

Near Metz in France, LFGR Doncourt-les-Conflans airfield has distinct ground with seasonal and night variants. An animated windsock credited to Arno Gerretsen and a VAC chart with accompanying documentation support the layout for the airfield.
In Alaska, a custom airstrip forms the centerpiece of a Dew Line-linked site, with credits to Frits Beyer and Jacques Botha and the PAKA designation. The Rivier Camp(PAKA) folder and the AFX_PAKA_ALT.bgl file hold the practical data.

The airfield sits near La Llagonne at the edge of the Pyrenees in France, offering rough terrain beside a large lake and a region rich in thermals. Registration is LFNQ, and it is not compatible with earlier iterations.

Cons LFBB v4.5 models Bordeaux/Merignac Airport in France with upgraded runway layouts and new objects such as parking areas. A LFBB folder anchors the arrangement, and credits Conrad Asman alongside Peter Stark for contributions to airport facility data and parking positions.

Lake Hood's area near Alaska gains added hangars, animated floatplanes, docks, buildings, and land vehicles, by Daniel Kemmer. It uses Lakehood.bgl and Lakehoodparking1.bgl, and viewers see full detail only when the display complexity is set to very dense.

Two bases anchor this Port McNeill project, Port McNeill Water Aerodrome CAM8 and Port McNeill Hospital Heliport CBM9. CAM8 serves as the float-plane home base for Pacific Eagle Aviation, and Mike Mann authored this work.
Two fixes address Istanbul Ataturk Airport and Sabiha Gokcen International Airport, authored by Serdar Nuzhet, using LTBA2009.ZIP and LTFJ2009-1.ZIP to replace with the original files for each location, documenting targeted coverage at LTBA and LTFJ.

Harutoshi Nakagawa directs a two-year effort to recreate Sapporo City on Hokkaido, the northern island of Japan, using Gmax. A component named naka_sap_effect_fsx is included in the project as a named element within the project scope.

An FSX-compatible patch by P. Nigel Grant converts John Stinstrom and Ray Lunning FS2004 Penticton Airport (CYYF) to FSX, using SBuilderX for corrections and ADE to translate two traffic bgl files, with a revised aircraft.cfg in 0_AI CYYF_B1900 Pacific Coasts. The cyyf_FSX archive includes updated aprons and fences to align with FSX land classifications.
An accurate reconstruction of the hideout in Abbottabad, Pakistan, identified as OSMA, appears in version 1.1 with a landable roof on the main building. The Military Aviation Organization credits Cassidy Byars for the project and its development.
Photoreal visuals enhance the island with basic autogen and a newly added airport alignment to match the visuals, while no alterations affect the airport area itself. The presentation emphasizes a complete photoreal look and retains standard autogen throughout the terrain, by Petro Lambert.

OpenStreetMap-based data drives a Netherlands-focused POI project that populates roads, railways, waterways, land use, and natural elements for detailed navigation across the country. Created by Markus Freyt as an experimental freeware initiative, it targets higher accuracy for VFR pilots navigating Dutch terrain.

Registration FVHA in Zimbabwe anchors a complete rework of the airport, with a layout file included that adds buildings and objects beyond stock simulator models. Cargo adds to the ramp and parking slots expand, while lighting relies on fsx_lts.zip by Jim Dhaenens, and the work is credited to Lee Marrow.

Set around Cape Town, South Africa, Frits Beyer delivers Houtbay Harbor as a regional addition, with a required sequence including Cape Town Harbor, Simons Town harbor, Robbin Island, and Koeberg Power Station before Houtbay activates. Users place the Houtbay Harbor file in their local project folder for activation.

The KSPI facility in Springfield, Illinois, is credited to Jimmy R. Martin and includes objects, people, and lighting. gaplane1.zip, a ZIP archive, is required for some aircraft and supports a small airfield environment in the Midwest.
