June brought another strong wave of community-made content to Flightsim.to, spanning everything from a rare regional airliner to a cluster of backcountry and general aviation airfields across the United States, plus a Norwegian coastal outpost and a cockpit texture overhaul for one of the sim's popular regional turboprops. As always, the releases reflect the diversity of the community itself — some entries chase historical accuracy down to the antenna configuration, while others focus on getting a lesser-known GA strip onto the map for the first time. Below is a roundup of the freeware add-ons that stood out over the past month, and what you can expect if you add them to your community folder.
Fairchild-Hiller FH-227B by Bgaurant
Regional turboprop fans got a treat this month with the release of the 🔗 Fairchild-Hiller FH-227B, a standalone aircraft built with a fully custom cockpit rather than adapted from an existing model. Created by Bgaurant, the add-on focuses on the "B" variant of the FH-227, historically the most widely produced version of the type. You'll find four different fuselage configurations included, ranging from a small cargo door finished in Ozark livery-style paneling to a 13-window Piedmont fuselage and a large cargo door variant wearing Mohawk and Northeast antenna fits. Two complete, functioning cockpits are provided — one modeled after Ozark Airlines' setup and the other after Piedmont's — giving you some variety depending on which regional carrier aesthetic you're after.
It's worth noting that the aircraft was built using the MSFS 2020 SDK, so while it will load and fly in MSFS 2024 on PC, you won't get access to the newer sim's exclusive systems and features. For simmers primarily on MSFS 2020, though, this is a fully native experience, and a welcome addition for a segment of aviation history that rarely gets attention in flight simulation.
MDPC – Punta Cana International 24 by Chak991
The Dominican Republic's busiest airport received a substantial overhaul courtesy of Chak991, whose rework of 🔗 Punta Cana International rebuilds the apron layout alongside custom models, lighting, and textures. It's a straightforward drop-in-your-community-folder installation, and the developer has already flagged an incompatibility with the Bijan Season Enhanced add-on — though a separate vegetation fix is available on Flightsim.to to resolve conflicts between the two. A GSX profile is also included, credited to mortysimmer, for those who run ground service integrations. With just over 750 downloads so far, it's a smaller-scale release compared to some of the platform's headline sceneries, but a useful update for anyone regularly flying into this Caribbean hub.
ENBV – Berlevåg Airport 2024 by Sauron
For a change of scenery entirely, Sauron's rendition of 🔗 ENBV Berlevåg Airport takes you to Norway's remote Finnmark county, where Widerøe's Dash 8s serve a small but steady stream of passengers along the country's northern coast. This is one of the more thoroughly researched releases of the month: every structure inside the airport boundary is custom-built, along with nearby landmark buildings, the prominent communication mast at Kjølnesaksla, and Berlevåg's church. The developer went as far as creating custom maritime navigation markers for the harbour area and generating a 1-metre resolution elevation mesh specific to the airport surroundings, paired with custom aerial imagery. Ground markings and lighting have been matched against the Norwegian AIP, and dynamic seasonal objects — snow piles, holiday lighting, and the like — add some variety across different times of year. The developer has noted that modeling the interior of the passenger terminal is still on the wishlist, pending reference photography, so this is very much a scenery still open to community input.
D28 – Tanglefoot Seaplane Base, Idaho by MulberryWing
Seaplane enthusiasts on MSFS 2024 gained a new option this month with MulberryWing's port of the 🔗 Tanglefoot Seaplane Base scenery, originally released for MSFS 2020. Set on Priest Lake in northern Idaho, the base is a real-world gathering point for the Washington Seaplane Pilots Association's annual Splash-In event, and the add-on recreates the docks, beach, seaplane ramp, and main hangar, along with smaller touches like a windsock, camping area, and scattered signage. Three dedicated parking spots are included — one at the dock, one on shore for amphibious aircraft, and one at a mooring buoy — plus a static Grumman Goose for atmosphere. Note that the floatplane dock requires the separately available Seaplane Asset Library from 30West to display correctly, so you'll want to grab that alongside this scenery if you don't already have it installed.
KBRO Brownsville/South Padre Island by csharpe
Texas's Rio Grande Valley gets some overdue attention with csharpe's upgrade of 🔗 KBRO Brownsville/South Padre Island Airport, a field with a surprisingly deep aviation history dating back to its 1929 opening, when Amelia Earhart and Charles Lindbergh both made appearances. The airport spent decades as a Pan American hub before losing ground to nearby Harlingen and McAllen, and has recently seen renewed investment tied to the growth of the University of Texas system and SpaceX activity in the area. This scenery replaces the default runway profiles and terraforming with updated elevation data, while using SDK-assembled library objects to approximate the terminal buildings' real-world appearance without a heavy performance cost. Lighting, fencing, and taxiway markings have been refreshed based on current satellite imagery. One quirk worth knowing about: distance-remaining signs show yellow numbers instead of white, a current SDK limitation rather than an oversight on the developer's part.
1Z1 – Grand Canyon Bar Ten Airstrip, Arizona by GreySkies
GreySkies continues to build out a detailed corner of the Grand Canyon's north rim with the 🔗 Bar Ten Airstrip, a private strip serving the Bar 10 Ranch that sees a mix of twin-engine and helicopter traffic despite its remote location. The release is dense with real-world operational detail — preferred landing and takeoff directions, a documented berm near the runway threshold, ditches running parallel to the strip, and even a note about livestock occasionally wandering onto the runway. The scenery is designed around Bijan Seasons Enhanced 2024, a payware terrain product, and the developer is upfront that the experience is noticeably diminished without it, though a simplified non-Bijan version ships with the initial release for those without it. Two helicopter start positions are included alongside the fixed-wing parking, and this airstrip sits just a short flight from GreySkies' companion release, Tuweep Airstrip, making the two a natural pairing for a backcountry Arizona outing.
KFLD – Fond du Lac County Airport, Wisconsin by dulce1021
With EAA AirVenture Oshkosh season approaching, dulce1021's rework of 🔗 Fond du Lac County Airport arrives at a fitting time — KFLD sits just 15 miles south of Oshkosh and serves as a popular overflow arrival and departure point during the show. The update replaces close to 50 generic auto-gen structures with purpose-placed custom buildings, alongside a broad set of nighttime lighting improvements covering parking areas, taxiways, and approach lighting. On the infrastructure side, the airport beacon has been relocated to its accurate real-world position near the temporary control tower used only during AirVenture operations, and new navigation, weather, and communication equipment has been added throughout the field. The developer also fixed a handful of submerged river-crossing roads near the airport. Compatibility with MSFS 2024 hasn't been formally confirmed, though it was developed and tested on MSFS 2020.
KIZA Santa Ynez Airport, Santa Barbara County
Nestled in California's wine country, the update to 🔗 Santa Ynez Airport (KIZA) brings a substantial visual refresh to a field that, despite modest traffic, is a well-known fly-in spot for pilots across central and southern California. The rework includes a custom FBO, fuel island, hangar complex, and firehouse near runway 26, alongside a heavier landscaping pass that adds roughly a hundred additional trees to better match the surrounding terrain imagery. The runway's PAPI and ramp markings have been rebuilt from scratch after the developer found the default MSFS versions inaccurate, and more than 15 GA parking positions have been added along with a helicopter start point. A few dependencies are worth flagging before downloading: the scenery relies on the developer's California GA object library, along with several Gaya library airports (KCGX, EDVK, YLHI, and Tokyo Heliport) for certain fencing and signage assets, plus the free UK2000 common library for some ramp objects.
HUES ATR Enhanced Cockpit Textures
Rounding out the month is a more focused release aimed squarely at ATR pilots: the 🔗 HUES ATR Enhanced Cockpit Textures pack delivers a full PBR material pass across the ATR's flight deck for MSFS 2024. Rather than reworking geometry, the mod concentrates on texture resolution, reflections, and lighting response, while nudging the cabin's color palette toward a cleaner, more Airbus-influenced tone. For simmers who spend a lot of time in the ATR's cockpit, it's a relatively lightweight way to freshen up the visual experience without touching the aircraft's systems or handling.
All of the add-ons featured this month are freeware, and as always, the developers behind them have put in considerable hours modeling, texturing, and testing before making their work available at no cost. If any of these releases end up in your regular rotation, consider leaving a review on their Flightsim.to page or sending a donation their way — several of the creators listed here have specifically mentioned that feedback and support help fund continued development. It's a small gesture that goes a long way in keeping freeware development active on the platform.
