Speaking of the snazzy aircraft, the Honda Jet by Marwan Gharib (published by FlightFX) now has a release date, and it’s coming on May 31.
It’ll be priced at $24.99 for both PC and Xbox (but it may be available at a later time on Xbox) and you can enjoy a launch trailer below.
Next, we start with a substantial string of releases with Buffalo Niagara International Airport (KBUF) serving Buffalo, New York, United States.
The airport is available on iniBuilds’ store for $18.68.

Another airport in the United States has been released by Simulación Extrema, and it’s Yakutat Airport (PAYA) in Alaska, which is perfect for these brand new Alaska Airlines and Alaska Air Cargo 737-700 by PMDG. It’s available for PC for $14.99 on the official in-sim marketplace (just search for “PAYA” and you’ll find it easily) and it’s also coming to Xbox at a later date. Finally, we move out of the US to go to China with Zhouke Scenery Studio, which released Xijiao International Airport (ZBMZ) and Manzhouli City. It’s available on SimMarket for $13.67 plus applicable VAT and it proves that there are still airports in China that have terminals not designed by space engineers.
Models of Manzhouli Xijiao International Airport Terminal and other airport buildings and facilities. Handcrafted ground lines and ground textures. Some architectural models use PBR material. Manually calibrated ILS to CAT I standard. Handcrafted airport exteriors. Handmade models of some buildings in the city center of Manzhouli.

For helicopter and floatplane lovers, AuScene also released its previously announced Reefworld – Great Barrier Reef destination in Australia. It’s available on the developer’s own store for $9.

We end with something a bit peculiar. Feelthere released a trailer for its upcoming Frankfurt International Airport (EDDF) in Germany. Unfortunately, it looks rather… unflattering. Of course, we’ll reserve judgment until it’s released, but you can see it for yourself below.
