LatinVFR Releases Airport Regional Environment X Asia-Pacific for MSFS

LatinVFR, has recently released its newest product - AREX: Airport Regional Environment X Asia-Pacific for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The plugin replaces “ ground services vehicles with customised and more realistic designs for the region at ALL airports in all East Asia and the Pacific”, providing users with a more localised and immersed experience when flying to this particular region of the globe.

Apart from the replacement of default ground service vehicles with custom animated models, they come equipped with reworked sounds to reflect the model of the vehicle, there are 8 sets of these vehicles which spans Asia Indian, Asia cold/dry, Asia Industrial, Asia Central, Tropics Asian, Australia Red, Australia, and Tropics Pacific (sans New Zealand as it couldn't be modified at this time). Each of the vehicles comes with a different livery of the companies that provide airport services in the corresponding region in Asia/Pacific.

In detail, catering trucks contains logos of the major catering companies operating in the region, with the same applied to the push back trucks, featuring the branding of the operators in the region. As its a visual replacement to solely bring regionalised experience, users can still use the default mechanism to utilise ground service vehicles. All of this improvements without a performance hit, averaging the same FPS as one were to use default service vehicles.

Here is the full feature list:

  • Replacement of ground services vehicles with customised and more realistic for the region at ALL airports in all East Asia and the Pacific.
  • Customised sounds of the different engines and animation situations.
