MSFS 2024 compatibility
MSFS 2024 is now out and available. The first few days after the release have been all about testing the simulator, then trying out my addons one by one. All add-ons work without problems in MSFS2024. I deemed my add-ons incompatible when I found visible errors in the form of redundant buildings or objects or trees or bad terrain height introduced by MSFS2024. I am working on updates to remove these immersion-killing glitches. Sometimes later I might update some of them to native MSFS2024 addons, but that requires more time and working through the demands of the new SDK.
I will update the information on this page during the process, so stay tuned and return often!
EDIT: After testing most of my airports I find that some of them has been hand-crafted by Asobo&co. Unfortunately though with much less detail and wrong looking buildings, missing buildings and redundant stuff placed in wrong places. The new sim does not respect exclusions in the old add-ons so many airports have extra, double buildings and redundant vegetation... Fortunately the sceneries only need a couple of exclusion zones to fix the problems, so the first fixes are already out and more are coming. Also note, that some airfields have bad height data (DEM) in the new sim so the Finland Airport Heightmaps addon by @Morko is needed. It is tested and works perfectly in MSFS2024.
NOTE! The updated files are necessary only for MSFS 2024 (they work fine also in MSFS2020 indeed, but will not change anything in the old sim so no need to install them if you only use MSFS2020).
Legend:
Tested, working | Working fine as such in MSFS 2024, works in MSFS2020 mode (not MSFS2024 native) |
Tested, working but requires DEM addon | Working fine, provided that the Finland Airport Heightmaps (+DEM) by @Morko is installed |
Tested, working, minor quirks | Only minor glitches (some small redundant objects, trees or such) that do not affect flying or taxiing. Will be fixed later. |
Tested, not compatible | Real problems found (terrain glitches or default buildings, objects or vegetation that makes the field not work properly and kills the immersion). In the priority list for fixes. |

About this site
This site contains freeware add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024. Mainly airports in southern Finland and some points of interest in southern Finland. Three Estonian airports and one in Germany are also available.
FSAddons.fi was developed to host my own add-ons and add-ons that I have contributed to. You will find all my published MSFS2020 and MSFS2024 add-ons here, and on the page "Useful Add-ons" you will find links to other Finnish and Nordic (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Faroe Islands, Iceland) freeware add-ons. Also note the "MSFS2024 Compatibility" page which lists the status of the compatibility of my MSFS2020 add-ons in MSFS2024!
A couple of my add-ons are also available on flightsim.to - they are the exact same versions that can be found here!
If you have questions or comments regarding this page or my add-ons, then please contact me on Flightforum.fi, on Discord or by mail to
Enjoy my sceneries!

Useful Add-ons
The following add-ons are recommended when flying in Finland. The Airport Heightmaps are required by a couple of my sceneries, others just add nicely to the immersion. Download and install if you are flying in Finland!
- Finland Airport Heightmaps (+DEM) by @Morko
- The add-on contains heightmaps for all Finnish airports/flightplaces and POI fixes. This is an absolute must for the correct DEM of all Finnish airports! Recommended also with WU15!
- FISD Library
- A library of common objects on Finnish airports, originally made by FISD (Finnish Scenery Designers). This libary is required by some of my sceneries, and unfortunately the original link in the readme files have been destroyed at files.fsnordic.net. This is the same version that used to be available through those links.
- Finland EcoRegions by @Tatu
- This scenery modifies the boreal forests of Finland. The forests are divided in Conifer, deciduous and mixed forests as in Corine Land Cover data. The default MSFS trees are too high and forests too dense, so different biomes for Finnish forests are included. The area expands slightly to the neighboring countries. (MSFS 2020)
- FinnForest for MSFS2024 by @Tatu
- This scenery is the MSFS2024 version of Finland EcoRegions and it improves the vegetation areas in Finland by selecting correct vegetation types and less dense coverage.
- VFR Reporting Points Finland by @frkristi
- This Mod adds VFR Reporting Points as Point of Interest and GPS Waypoints for Finland.
- Flight Obstacles Finland for MSFS2024 by @Tatu
- adds flight obstacles in Finland missing from the default obstacles. Flight obstacles included are masts (some custom made, some default objects), cranes and chimneys. Additionally weather stations, water towers, bird watching towers, seamarks, lighthouses, barns and many other objects are included. A smaller, light version is also available here that do not include barns, stones and some other smaller objects.
- Finland Seamarks by @Tatu (new version 1.5, only needed for MSFS2020)
- Seamarks and lighthouses along the entire Finnish coast (works together with the Finnish South Coast Lighthouses add-on available on this page). NOTE! Not needed for MSFS2024 if you use the Flight Obstacles Finland (see above) as that add-on includes the seamarks and lighthouses!
More Finnish add-ons for MSFS2020 can be found at the following sites:
- flightsim.to (by country: Finland)
- airport sceneries (including the excellent EFHK by @Epixeri), liveries, city sceneries, @Corstens GAmod and more
- https://wopr.fi/msfs/
- @kumihiiri airport sceneries (EFMI, EFKA, EFSI, EF01 and EFKS. Note that EFTP, EFVR, EFVA and ESSB on this site are redundant as better versions are available elsewhere!)
- EFKU by @aekki
(Made with default objects. An outdated version so it could have problems in newer MSFS versions. Tested and working in SU13) - Orthophoto for EFKU by @aekki
Other Nordic add-ons for MSFS2020 can be found here:
