Nimbus Update the BN-2 Islander to v1.1 for X-Plane 11

Having only previewed the update yesterday, Nimbus Simulation Studios have released the v1.1 update for their BN-2 Islander. One of the main takeaways from this update is the addition of two sceneries, Papa Westray and Westray, alongside the aircraft. 

The sceneries include custom buildings, ortho, fences, and more - they’re to compliment the aircraft and it’s shortest route, which also doubles as the world’s shortest flight. Releasing sceneries and an airplane isn’t seen in flight simulation very often, making this update incredibly unique and a welcome addition to the aircraft.

The developer provided a changelog shown below; the changelog covers all areas of the updates and is filled with additions to the aircraft as well as bug fixes.
