Aerosoft has released another Flight Simulator X scenery package - Tahiti X.

Enjoy the beauty of the French Polynesian Islands in Flight Simulator X. Tahiti X includes almost the complete archipelago covering 14 islands and 9 airports with a detailed mesh and many animations.
Of course this product should have been named French Polynesia X, but Tahiti X just sounds a lot better. But almost the complete archipelago is included covering a massive two and a half million kilometers. Distances between the islands are massive so you need an aircraft that has a reasonable cruise speed and twins are highly recommended. Of course a twin that can land on water is ideal. For example the Twin Otter we done (it even comes with a correct livery) or the default Grumman Goose. An ideal destination for a dark evening!
Features
- Island-Hopping with tropical flair

Another new airport has been released by Aerosoft, this time being Mega Airport Stockholm Arlanda for Flight Simulator 2004.

Developed by the Design-Team “DreamFactorystudio” this scenery represents an absolute realistic recreation of the complete Swedish real airport.Stockholm Arlanda is the third biggest airport in Scandinavia. As it covers a rather large area there is very much to see while taxiing to or from one of the 64 gates. The parallel runways (01L/01R) are a guarantee to see AI traffic close to your own aircraft, something we always appreciate when we depart or arrive.
The airport has been totally rebuilt with photo realistic ground textures and enhanced textures. Almost every building has been included in the new version. Developed by the Design-Team “DreamFactorystudio” this scenery represents an absolute realistic recreation of the complete Swedish real airport. A FSX version will be available soon and without any additional costs for customers of this version.

Aerosoft has released the latest in their German Airports collection - German Airports 3 - Paderborn/Lippstadt X for Flight Simulator X.

Visit the home base airport of Aerosoft and location of the German Flight Simulation Conference in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. The airport Paderborn/Lippstadt has been developed using the latest FSX technologies and therefore comes in an extreme level of detail. A must-have for all Aerosoft fans and friends of high-end graphics.
For us this airport of Paderborn/Lippstadt has a special significance as its been the home base of the Aerosoft GmbH headquarters in Germany. It is also the location of our annual German Flight Simulation Conference since the year 2002. Now surely this is what every scenery designer wants to do most of all, create the environment he (she) knows best. It’s also special project as we wanted to show what FSX is actually capable of doing and of course displaying. It is an airport scenery as detailed as (we think) FSX can display and which uses all the latest technology made available by FSX. From the 20 cm pixel ground images to the animated gates that dock with the AI traffic. The airport is realistic as it looks from the windows of our office.
The regional airport of Paderborn/Lippstadt is a commercial airport offering a complete service of a modern and up to date airport. Around 1.3 million passengers used Paderborn in 2007 for their travels. Destinations from Paderborn are nearly all holiday regions in the south of Europe as well as hubs for connections to the world (view flight plan). Short and fast ways to the aircraft as well as quick check-ins and free parking makes it a favourite for every traveller.
