Carenado revealed more screenshots of the granddaddy of modern Cessnas, the Cessna 170B, dating all the way back to 1952.

We don’t yet know when this will be released, but it’s going to be “soon.”

Next is Yakushima Airport (RJFC) in Japan by Simulación Extrema. This scenic airport on one of the Ryukyu Islands closest to the coast of Kyushu should be released today, so expect it to appear on SimMarket shortly.

Microsoft will release an ATR add-on next year, and it’ll be perfect for this, considering that the only airliners that fly to Yakushima are Japan Air Commuter’s ATR-42s and 72s.

Update: it has been released and it’s available on SimMarket for approximately $12 plus applicable VAT.

Last, but not least, Gaya Simulations provided another look at its upcoming Block Island State Airport (KBID).

Speaking of add-ons, do keep in mind that we have a spiffy giveaway going on that can let you win one of 10 add-ons from Orbx’s lineup. You can find all the details here, but leaving a pertinent comment at the bottom of this post will serve as a valid entry.

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. A few days ago, we also received lots of new details about upcoming content from Microsoft itself including a new aircraft and the next world update focused on Nordic countries.
