FSDG (Flight Sim Development Group) has just released its highly anticipated Maldives scenery for Microsoft Flight Simulator. This comprehensive package brings the breathtaking beauty of the Maldives to a more realistic standard, with many features that make this one of the most famous destinations in the world.

This release includes three individual products that can be purchased separately or as part of a bundle: the North Malé Atoll, the South Malé Atoll, and Velana International Airport (VRMM).

Velana International Airport stands out as a centerpiece, featuring a detailed rendition of the facility, including its expansive seaplane base. The scenery even incorporates the new terminal currently under construction, which is expected to be completed in 2025 and will prepare the airport to accommodate increasing visitor growth in the coming years.

Both the North and South Malé Atoll sceneries offer a detailed recreation of these iconic island chains. Simmers can expect to find all islands and luxury resorts faithfully reproduced, complete with highly detailed models of water villas and bungalows. The developers have paid special attention to creating ultra-realistic reef water textures, enhancing the visual fidelity of the azure Maldivian waters.

For virtual pilots looking to simulate the unique experience of island-hopping in the Maldives, the scenery includes several seaplane docks throughout the atolls. This feature allows for authentic recreations of the popular tourist transport routes flown by Twin Otter seaplanes in the region.

This release opens an opportunity for simmers to explore one of the world’s most sought-after tropical destinations in unprecedented detail, from the bustling Malé island to the serene luxury resorts scattered across the atolls.

If you’re looking to add this to your scenery collection in Microsoft Flight Simulator, there are 4 options to consider, all available through simMarket:
