Verticalsim has earlier today taken to their social networks to announce the release of a new major update for their rendition of New Orleans Airport (KMSY) for X-Plane 11. Bringing the scenery from v1 to v2, existing owners of the scenery can get the update free of charge.
The new version brings all-new revamped night lighting, redone PBR on most surfaces, all new orthoimagery, improved vegetation colors, changed taxiway lighting to better reflect the real counterpart, and a new HD grass.
Furthermore, the FedEx ramp received proper night lighting and marshallers, a new manual was written from scratch, and airline assignments at the airport gates were fixed. The gate numbers are now also visible on the ground.
The scenery can be purchased at a limited discount, valid until tomorrow 12P.M. EST, for approximately €12 through the developer’s website. Existing owners of the scenery can get the new, updated, scenery free of charge.
In order to update the scenery, simply download the new files from the store and replace the old files. It is important to mention, that as of right now, only the Verticalsim store has the new files ready, other stores should have them available in a few days.
