Developer Pacific Islands Simulation has recently shared their progress on the highly anticipated KSLC scenery for MSFS on social media. This update features new ground markings on the taxiways and ramp areas, modeling for the airport’s general aviation and military areas, and portions of the terminal interior. With the snow-covered mountains in the background, the airport is looking more realistic and visually stunning.
Salt Lake City International Airport (KSLC/SLC) is located just four miles from Downtown Salt Lake City and is the busiest airport in Utah, serving over 26 million passengers annually. It’s well known for being a major hub for Delta Airlines and ranks highly for its on-time departures and arrivals compared to other major U.S. airports. The airport has undergone significant development in recent years, with a $4 billion redevelopment program titled “The New SLC” implemented in 2014. The first phase of the project was completed in 2020, and the entire project is expected to be finished by 2024.
The KSLC MSFS scenery by Pacific Islands Simulation is a highly detailed and accurate depiction of the airport, providing a realistic and immersive experience for flight sim enthusiasts. The latest update includes new ground markings, taxiway numbers, and lighting, along with modeling for the general aviation and military areas of the airport. The developers are nearing completion of the project, so we can expect a release in the coming months.
February Update: Currently working on ground markings, taxiway numbers, GA and Military side of the field, taxiway lights and a bit of interior work. Grunge work during winter/snow season looks good so far. We’re getting close folks. Enjoy the 5 pics attached showing progress work.

The area is known for its skiing and outdoor recreational activities, making it a popular tourist destination.
Overall, the KSLC MSFS scenery by Pacific Islands Simulation is shaping up to be an impressive and highly realistic depiction of the airport. With its attention to detail and accuracy, it’s sure to provide a great experience for flight sim enthusiasts.
