[Edited] Flightsim Development Group Releases Two Airports for X-Plane; Announces Two More

Flight Sim Development Group, FSDG, have signaled a new commitment to X-Plane with the release of two sceneries for Laminar's sim, as well as publishing the store pages of two more. The four new airports, Graz (LOWG), Adagir (GMAD), Dakar (GOBD) and Sharm El-Sheikh (HESH), show that their single X-Plane product, Keflavik, was not a one off, which opens the door for more ESP-platform conversions in the future.
