We get another look at the Pilatus Porter PC-6 by FlightSimGames, which stars in three new work-in-progress videos.

The first showcases the external lighting system, while the second includes a test of the airport services. The third is a test of the switch panels.

On the airport front, JustSim released Heraklion International Airport (LGIR) on the island of Crete, Greece.

It’s definitely a relevant seasonal hub, with a ton of airlines serving the airport during the summer. It’s available on SimMarket for approximately $20 plus applicable VAT.

You can see what it looks like below.

Recently, we published our brand new and massive interview with head of Microsoft Flight Simulator Jorg Neumann, focusing on the Xbox version and short and long-term plans for the sim (on both platforms).

He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
