As usual, please note that all of this is work in progress in-game footage/images.[/p][p][/p][p]If you'll remember back in May we shared some screenshots of a selection of airports & airstrips, and since then we've done a bunch of environment work (including all of our peaks & valley updates) and many of the airports have had major transformations.[/p][p][/p][p]Graves Airstrip May 2025[/p][p]November 2025[/p][p][/p][p]Lawless Airstrip[/p][p]May 2025[/p][p]November 2025[/p][p][/p][p]Cook Airstrip[/p][p]May 2025[/p][p]November 2025[/p][p][/p][p]And say hello to a few airports which we've shown off for the first time!
