Samos International Airport, located on the eastern Aegean island of Samos in Greece, is recognized for having one of the more challenging approaches in Europe. Surrounded by mountainous terrain and situated close to the sea, the airport requires careful navigation and precise handling, especially during landings on runway 09. These geographical constraints make Samos a notable destination for flight simulation enthusiasts seeking a more demanding experience.
M'M Simulations has released a detailed rendition of ⭐ LGSM for Microsoft Flight Simulator, aiming to replicate the airport's layout and environment. The add-on features a custom 3D terminal and control tower, as well as a hand-built runway, taxiways, and apron areas that reflect the real-world layout. The terrain has been adapted to match the airport’s natural slopes, and the surroundings include custom vegetation and environmental elements to represent the island's characteristic landscape. Night operations are supported with enhanced lighting, and textures are rendered in high resolution with PBR materials for added visual fidelity.
The scenery is designed for stable performance across systems, and it includes compatibility with both MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024. A GSX profile is available separately for those using GSX ground services. If you're interested in adding Samos International Airport to your simulator, the scenery is now available for ⭐purchase at Flightsim.to.
