M'M Simulations has released a detailed scenery package for 🔗 Sitia Airport (LGST), bringing one of Greece's more tucked-away regional airports to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024. Sitia Airport sits on the far eastern end of Crete, serving as the island's quieter, more intimate gateway compared to the busier hubs of Heraklion and Chania. Operating under the ICAO code LGST, the airport handles a mix of domestic Greek routes and seasonal international traffic, primarily catering to holidaymakers and locals exploring the less-trodden corners of Crete. Its setting is genuinely striking — the airport is perched close to the coastline, offering approaches that bring you in low over the deep blue of the Aegean Sea before touching down against a backdrop of rugged Cretan hillsides.
Sitia has historically been represented by default scenery that, while functional, does little justice to the character of the real location. M'M Simulations has addressed that with a ground-up recreation designed with both visual fidelity and performance in mind.
The centrepiece of the package is a highly detailed terminal building, complete with a custom interior. The control tower has received the same careful treatment, modelled to reflect its real-world counterpart. Ground-level detail is covered through custom ground textures and apron markings, which replace the default geometry and give the airport a more polished, accurate look from both ground level and the air. Runway, taxiway, and parking layouts have been reproduced to match the real airport configuration.
Custom airport assets and signage round out the ground environment, replacing generic placeholders with objects suited to a small Greek regional airport. The overall result is a scenery that reads as coherent and consistent rather than a patchwork of default and custom elements. The add-on is optimised for both Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, so you won't need to worry about compatibility whichever version you're running.
For those who enjoy exploring less prominent corners of European aviation in the simulator, eastern Crete is well worth a visit, and this scenery gives you a proper base from which to do it. LGST Sitia Airport by M'M Simulations is available 🔗 now on Flightsim.to Store, compatible with both MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024.
