Aviation developments: Luxembourg flight sim update and UK airport expansion plans

ORBITFORGE has released the Luxembourg City Landmarks package for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024. The update provides custom-made buildings, recognizable city structures, and enhanced depictions of the Kirchberg district to improve visual quality for virtual pilots.

In the United Kingdom, aviation experts are calling for a balanced approach to airport expansion. While projects like Heathrow’s third runway, Gatwick’s Northern Runway, and Luton’s expansion programme progress, there is a push to ensure growth is not concentrated solely in the South. Expanding capacity at regional airports such as Manchester, Birmingham, and Newcastle is viewed as a way to support regional businesses and reduce economic imbalances.
