FSX: Steam Edition - East Frisian Islands Add-On

Explore the East Frisian Islands in FSX: Steam Edition Add-On

FSX: Steam Edition - East Frisian Islands Add-On enhances the core flight simulation experience of Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam by expanding your flying territory. This add-on introduces five picturesque airports on the East Frisian Islands—Baltrum, Borkum, Juist, Langeoog, and Norderney. These destinations serve as a serene escape, where players can enjoy the tranquility and fresh air of the North Sea.

Discover Unique Airports Across Five Islands

Each island airport promises its own set of challenges and scenery. Borkum, the largest island, is home to an airport sitting just a meter above sea level, featuring one asphalt runway and two grass runways. In contrast, Baltrum is the smallest and is nicknamed the 'sleeping beauty' of the North Sea, while Juist impresses with its elongated shape, stretching 17 kilometers. The add-on highlights the distinct characteristics of each island, making it perfect for aircraft enthusiasts and flight simulation fans looking for variety.

High-Resolution Graphics for Realistic Flight

Visual fidelity is a key aspect of this add-on, boasting photo-real layout and textures with a resolution of 25cm. The attention to detail extends beyond the airports, incorporating hand-placed high-resolution buildings within airport boundaries. The surrounding areas feature an extensive library of custom auto-generated structures, adding depth and immersion to your flight experience, making you feel truly transported to the East Frisian Islands.

Immersive Flight Scenarios for Every Pilot

With 20 combinations of take-off and landing locations across the islands, the add-on offers multiple routes and flying scenarios. Players can mix and match islands for a variety of experiences, whether you're interested in short hops or longer cross-island flights. The included unique taxiway lanes and custom-made static aircraft further enhance the realism, making every flight a captivating session in the virtual skies.

Night Flying Like Never Before

One of the standout features of this expansion is the custom night-lighting that transforms the islands under the stars. As you navigate through the night sky, you'll experience the contrast between the illuminated landscapes and the dark expanse of the North Sea. This feature adds an exciting dynamic to your flights, whether you’re soaring over the tranquil waters or preparing for a nighttime landing on one of the island runways.
