ADDON

In Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS), add-ons are third-party or community-created modifications that enhance the base Game experience.

Scenery add-ons, specifically, are mods that improve the visual environment and geographical details in the game. These can range from detailed airports, custom landmarks, and realistic cities to entire regions with enhanced terrain, vegetation, and buildings.

Types of Scenery Add-Ons in MSFS:

  1. Airports: Detailed recreations of real-world airports with custom buildings, runway textures, lighting, and other elements that make the airport look more realistic.
  2. Landmarks: Custom models of famous landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, or specific bridges, which replace the default generic models.
  3. Cityscapes: Enhanced city scenery that includes better building textures, more detailed skylines, and realistic night lighting.
  4. Terrain & Mesh: Mods that improve the accuracy and detail of terrain, including mountains, valleys, and other geographical features.
  5. Vegetation & Water: Enhancements that improve the appearance of trees, forests, and water bodies, making them look more natural and diverse.
  6. Photogrammetry: Some mods use photogrammetry data to recreate real-world cities and landscapes with high fidelity, giving them a more immersive appearance.

How to Install Scenery Add-Ons in MSFS:

  1. Download the Mod: Find and download the scenery mod from trusted websites or community platforms like flightsim.to.
  2. Extract the Files: Most mods come in compressed formats like .zip. Extract the files to your computer.
  3. Locate the Community Folder: Navigate to your MSFS installation directory and find the “Community” folder. This is where all your mods go.
  4. Copy the Mod Files: Move the extracted mod folder into the “Community” folder.
  5. Launch the Game: Start MSFS, and the mod should be automatically loaded into the game.
