Excerpt from Threshold

Island Creations has released a new scenery overhaul for Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, adding high-resolution aerial imagery, updated ports, vegetation, and coastlines, as well as night lighting, for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

The product is sold in three versions, “Standard”, “Premium” and “Premium Plus”, with varying levels of detail.

Island Creations has also included the neighbouring islands of La Graciosa, Montaña Clara, and Alegranza. The developer notes custom ground textures, with realistic colours, hand-placed maritime vessels, including a Fred Olsen Express ferry in Playa Blanca, Cruise ships with landable helipads, container ships, containers, and cranes in Arrecife, realistic night lighting with hotels, pools, plazas and more, native vegetation added to urban and coastal areas, custom watermasks, and more.

Lanzarote is an eastern Canary Island and, like the other Canaries, is volcanic, with rugged and striking terrain. It is a popular tourist destination, with leisure flights to many destinations in Europe.

Island Creations sells three versions, each with a different level of detail. The base version, called “Standard”, is 9.5 GB and is intended for limited-storage cases and those who primarily fly IFR, where dense ground detail is less important.

You then have “Premium” (26.1 GB), and “Premium Plus” (32.9 GB) versions, which feature sharper textures, and escalating levels of detail, for VFR flying.
