PhotoSimLabs has released St. Croix Airport, in the US Virgin Islands

The United States Virgin Islands is a paradisiac destination in the Caribbean, known for its gorgeous beaches of white sand and clear tropical waters. It’s a group of more than 50 islands, but only three main ones: Saint Croix, Saint John, and Saint Thomas. PhotoSimLabs is now in the process of launching improved versions of the islands for MSFS, starting with Saint Croix, Buck Island, and Henry E. Rohlsen Airport (TISX).

This is the first product of PhotoSimLabs for Flight Simulator and it’s an ambitious project that effectively overhauls more than 210 square kilometers of Flight Simulator’s scenery. Starting with St. Croix, the entire island has been overhauled, with special attention falling one its most important cities and landmarks. Christiansted and Frederiksted, the two main cities in St. Croix, have been fully recreated for MSFS, including many custom buildings.

Also in St. Croix and definitely the highlight if this release is Henry E. Rohlsen Airport, the main airport in the islands which serves as the main access point to the US and other Caribbean countries nearby. PhotoSimLabs recreated this airport with accuracy and realism in mind, with an extensive coverage of the airport’s premises and surrounding areas, dynamic night lighting, PBR materials, and more.
