NEWS! - Airwil updates RPMD - Davao International Airport - Philippines to X-Plane 12

 

 

Last year, Airwil released a few airports in an area X-Plane hasn't had a lot of attention, the Philippines. Including RPVE Boracay and RPSP Bohol Panglao... Another scenery release was RPMD - Davao International Airport on the island of Mindanao in the Southern part of the Philippines, some 800 miles (1300km) from the country’s capital Manilla, and the airport is known locally as Francisco Bangoy International Airport.

 

Nicely valued in price, these are great sceneries to explore a very different country and its landscapes in the X-Plane Simulator. A full X-Plane 11 review of RPMD - Davao International Airport by Stuart McGregor is available here;

Although not officially noted, in the details it shows that the Francisco Bangoy International Airport has now been updated to X-Plane 12, with the latest effects.
