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.
