JustSim has just a few minutes ago taken to their Facebook page to announce the release of their rendition of Helsinki-Vantaa Airport (EFHK) for Prepar3D v5. It is important not to confuse this scenery with the one MK-Studios has been working on since May 2020.
The development of the scenery was first mentioned just yesterday. The scenery itself features, for example, compatibility with Orbx FTX products, 3D vegetation, PBR materials, custom night lighting, animated jetways using SODE, custom autogen for the surrounding area, or realistic reflections. The complete feature list can be found below.
If you want to purchase the scenery, you can do so via SimMarket for €21.5 excluding VAT.
A Microsoft Flight Simulator version is scheduled to come later. There will be a 50% discount available for owners of the Prepar3D variant of the scenery.
UPDATE 30.9. 1552z: JustSim CEO, Andrei Bakanov, has came to the JustSim Facebook group to clarify some information about the Prepar3D v4 and X-Plane 11 versions of the scenery. Based on that, the Prepar3D v4 version will be available tomorrow free of charge for owners of the Prepar3D v5 version. Regarding the X-Plane 11 version, we can expect that to come in a few days.
UPDATE 1.10. 1732z: Prepar3D v4.4+ version of the scenery got released on SimMarket. You can purchase the scenery for €21.5. Owners of the Prepar3D v5 variant of the scenery are eligible for a free upgrade. No new information was shared regarding the X-Plane 11 version.
