NEW MSFS 2024 Marketplace Scenery: Malta, Arctic Greenland, 1935 New York & military bases!

If you're looking to expand your flight routes and visual approaches, the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 marketplace just dropped a massive scenery lineup. This week delivers everything from sun-soaked Mediterranean vacation gateways and freezing Arctic runways to vintage 1930s airfields, active naval and tactical air bases, dramatic Scandinavian fjords, and global ambient audio overhauls.

In this comprehensive scenery breakdown, we inspect all the new commercial hubs, historical airfields, military bases, VFR landmarks, and night lighting packages to help you decide what's claiming top priority in your hangar:

✈️ COMMERCIAL HUBS & HISTORIC AVIATION
We kick off under the Mediterranean sun at Malta International Airport (LMML) by Builds, featuring high-fidelity custom ground vehicles, updated harbor surroundings, and a modeled terminal interior. Next, we head north to the freezing landscape of Greenland for Ilulissat Airport (BGJN) by FSimStudios meticulously recreated with its upcoming 2,200m international runway, dramatic Arctic terrain modifications, seasonal snow coverage, and UNESCO Icefjord POIs. Then, we take a trip back in time to 1935 with Redwing’s vintage LaGuardia / North Beach Seaplane Base (KLGA), complete with classic period-accurate Manhattan landmarks, vintage airmail flight paths, and historic hangars.

🛫 MILITARY & US GENERAL AVIATION FIELDS
Shifting into tactical and regional operations, we tour RAF Mildenhall (EGUN) in the UK, home to the 100th Air Refueling Wing, outfitted with PBR texturing, custom polygons, and static KC-135, C-17, and CV-22 airframes. Next, we cross over to the US West Coast to visit Naval Air Station North Island (KNZY) in San Diego—the historic birthplace of naval aviation—featuring over 4,500 modeled objects, custom squadron hangars, San Diego Bay naval vessels, and the USS Midway. We also stop at Waukegan National Airport (KUGN) north of Chicago with spawnable 3D hangars and PBR textures, followed by Frasca Field (C16) in Illinois, tying into the rich historic roots of aviation simulation.

🇳🇴 VFR LANDMARKS, ENVIRONMENT & GLOBAL NIGHT OVERHAULS
For low-altitude bush and VFR pilots, we fly through Norway's spectacular Geirangerfjord by CLI4D Designs, packed with waterfalls, unmarked helicopter landing zones, and detailed shoreline POIs. Then, we check out the Messina Strait shipping pylons and animated vessel traffic in Italy by Simultech, explore Dream Scenery’s massive night lighting enhancements across 10 global metropolitan cities, and take a first look at Sofly's Airport Global Base Pack—bringing dynamic 3D spatial ambient audio to over 500 airports worldwide.
