Le Touquet - Elisabeth II International Airport (LFAT) (Dec'25 update)

One more new update (v3.3.1), just for the fun of it and 100% inspired by the Flightbeam studios San Francisco KSFO Captain Edition.

What do you think of this update?

What began as a simple compatibility fix for MSFS2020 SU16, aligning Bing Maps data with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, quickly evolved into something much more.

Hundred of objects were meticulously repositioned to match the updated Bing Maps imagery in MSFS2020. But as I explored recent photos and videos online, it became clear that several signs, posters, and objects were no longer accurate.

So instead of just a quick patch, version 4 was born: a refreshed and refined scenery update that brings Le Touquet LFAT back to life with greater realism and attention to detail.

:tada: Available now, completely free for PC users on MSFS2020 and MSFS2024. Enjoy the flight!

One more new version of this scenery first build almost 4 years ago! This time is about improving runway texture. Mainly for MSFS2024 users and minor fixes + improvement benefit to MSFS2020 also.

Please note that, as for my other scenery, MSFS2024 users need to activate 2 folders for this airport in your Community : vbcorp-airport-__ and zzz-vbcorp-airport-__. Don’t change the name “zzz-vbcorp-airport-__. MSFS2020 user only: you can ignore the zzz-vbcorp-airport-___

Changelog for version 4.1.0:

  • Update main runway texture.
  • Clean wrong detected buildings on Jardins Ouvriers du Touquet. Share your feedback as it seems now an empty space.
  • Fix no detailed runway texture for MSFS2024 users only.
  • Fix wrong type startup position.
  • Clean extra parking vehicle.
