Orbx Releases S43 Harvey Field and W16 Monroe Firstair for MSFS

Orbx has recently launched their rendition of Harvey Field (S43) and Monroe Firstair (W16) for Microsoft Flight Simulator, both in Washington (United States) and only minutes apart from each other. 


Harvey Airfield is a privately-owned public-use airport in Sonomish (WA), categorized on the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems as a regional reliever facility. It was established in 1944 by the Harvey Family, getting a restaurant, an administration building, and a maintenance shop in 1947. 


It is mainly used for flight training in general aviation airplanes and helicopters but also offers fuel and aircraft maintenance.


Monroe First Air Field is a public-use airport owned by the Washington State Department of Transportation. It opened in 1930 as a private airfield for Monroe Aircraft Corporation and was utilized in the following decade as a training base for the US Army. 


The post-war saw the airfield become a general aviation facility, which continues to this day, even after its acquisition by the Washington State Department of Transportation in 1980.


Despite being small, it's considered a very important part of the state's history for its many purposes over its nearly 100 years of existence.


The scenery features a reedition of two classics for FSX and Prepar3d, with meticulously crafted buildings based on on-site photography, 4K PBR textures, custom dynamic lighting, and more.


It's available on OrbxDirect for roughly $16.48, requiring at least 4.62 GB of free hard disk space to install.
