France VFR releases LFBT Tarbes-Lourdes Pyrénées Airport for MSFS

France VFR has released today its newest airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator. This time, it’s LFBT Tarbes-Lourdes Pyrénées Airport that gets the attention of the developers, joining the team’s extensive portfolio that seeks to recreate France’s vast selection of airports and smaller airfields..

France VFR is well-known for its dedication to creating mixed IFR/VFR airports, blending high-quality visual rendering with realism at an attractive price point. The captivating images of LFBT Tarbes-Lourdes Pyrénées Airport are no exception. Players can expect the same level of detail and accuracy they have come to know and love from France VFR’s previous releases, such as LFSB Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport or Marseille Provence Airport, two of their most recent releases.

The real-world LFBT Tarbes-Lourdes Pyrénées Airport sets itself apart from other airports due to its unique function as a temporary storage facility and aircraft destruction site. Located in the scenic region of the Pyrénées Mountains in southwestern France, the airport is another interesting addition to the simulator in a region of high natural and cultural interest. This airport is also known as an important gateway into Lourdes, whose striking Christian sanctuary is one of the most visited in the world.
