Discover the East Frisian North Sea islands now also in the new Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Every single island included – from Norderney over Langeoog to Borkum – has been built with attention to detail. This gets especially clear with many striking landmarks and the color corrected Orthophoto for every airfield. There are many details for you to be explored on every single airfield.
All airfields have been implemented based on over 5.000 photographs and are thus very lifelike. Moreover, there is also the opportunity to approach helipads.
Thanks to the additional HD ground layout and static aircrafts that have been created individually for the region, there is nothing left to interfere with the realistic simulation flight experience.

But if you are like me and want at one point leave the island and fly along them, you will be in for a big surprise, because this time Aerosoft decided to cut corners and left except for the airports, everything else to default Bing data. This means when Bing believes that those white beaches are actually green, you will find them in that color here too. And when Bing believes that those islands house large flat commercial structures, you find them here too.
The typical charm of these islands is completely gone (except for the airports of course). So why wasting €24 on something that is so disappointing from 1000 feet up, when compared to its predecessor. Come on Aerosoft, you can do better than this!!
