NEW MSFS 2024 Scenery: Shanghai Hub, Budapest, Venice & Greek Islands!

If you're looking to expand your flight routes and visual approaches, the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 marketplace just dropped an incredible scenery lineup. This week delivers everything from massive international passenger hubs in Asia and Central Europe to tight Greek island approaches, busy Southern California general aviation runways, handcrafted Venice waterways, and living world enhancements.

In this comprehensive scenery breakdown, we inspect all the new commercial hubs, regional airfields, VFR landmarks, and night lighting packages to help you decide what's claiming top priority on your virtual flight line:

✈️ INTERNATIONAL PASSENGER HUBS & COMMERCIAL GATEWAYS
We kick off at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (ZSSS), exploring China's massive domestic and regional gateway outfitted with detailed jetways, custom apron wear, crisp signage, and full passenger terminal interior modeling. Next, we head to Central Europe for Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (LHBP), Hungary's primary aviation crossroads, rebuilt with up-to-date taxiway reconfigurations, dynamic night lighting, detailed interior lounges, and built-in ambient airport audio environments. We also touch down in Central America at El Salvador International Airport (MSLP / Saint Óscar Arnulfo Romero), checking out its terminal interior and night apron lighting.

🛫 REGIONAL & ISLAND GATEWAYS
Shifting into island and regional operations, we travel to the Aegean Sea for Milos Airport (LGML) in Greece by Simultech, featuring custom elevation data, a recreated runway slope profile, authentic ground texturing, and Mediterranean surroundings. Then, we cross over to the US West Coast to explore San Gabriel Valley Airport (KEMT / El Monte) in Southern California—a bustling high-volume GA and business aviation field complete with custom hangars, static aircraft, AWOS stations, and updated night illumination.

🇮🇹 HANDCRAFTED VFR LANDMARKS, LIVING WORLD & NIGHT GRIDS
For low-altitude sightseers and VFR pilots, Bijan Habashi transforms Italy with the Venice Grand Canal project—rebuilding 5 kilometers of historic waterways with restored architecture, custom 3D bridges, traditional boat traffic, and cleaned-up photogrammetry foliage. We also check out Trains North America, bringing animated freight and passenger rail networks across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Finally, we review the Enhanced Road & Night Lights packages, inspecting street grid and urban illumination upgrades across Copenhagen, Malmö, Frankfurt, Daytona Beach, and Bologna.
