Greenland. A land of ice, mystery, and, as it turns out, prime real estate. In the real world, some float the idea of buying or taking the territory by force, and it seems the MSFS developer community took that idea to heart. In what can only be described as the Nuuk Wars, three different studios have launched their own takes on Nuuk Airport (BGGH) within mere days of each other.
Three Developers, One Airport
Unlike the actual Greenland, where Denmark firmly holds the deed, Nuuk Airport has turned into an open battleground, with FSimStudios, MM Simulations, and FSDG all racing to stake their claim. In the process, they’ve given flight simmers the unusual but welcome luxury of choosing between three payware renditions of the same airport.
FSimStudios
FSimStudios struck first, rolling out their Nuuk Airport with all the essentials. The scenery also brings in extra details around Nuuk, like the Nuuk Center and the HHE Hotel. It set the price at $14.99.
Features:
- Fully Up-to-date as of February, 2025, including the new Nuuk International Terminal
- Ultra-detailed rendition of the airport, based on extensive in-person survey, 3D Scans and airport photography
- Detailed interior and exterior modeling of the new airport terminal. Accurate signage, lighting and layout as per the real airport
- Sharp texturing and high-poly modeling throughout other airport buildings, including Air Greenland’s headquarters and hangars, and the new control tower
- Hand-Made terrain around the airport to reflect latest changes
- Several POIs in the City of Nuuk and surrounding areas have been modeled – including Nuuk Center (highest tower in the city), HHE Hotel, Brugseni Shopping Mall, Nuuk Cultural Center, Nuuk Stadium, and the Nuuk Prison, located near the airport
- Runway lighting and Navigation Aids modeled as per recent charts
MM Simulations
Not long after, MM Simulations landed with their own version, also priced at $14.99. They went for an approach focusing on high-detail models of the airport’s structures and surroundings.
Features:
- Handcrafted Terrain Elevation
- Updated Satellite Imagery
- Full ILS & Navaid Integration
- New Runway & Lighting System
- Detailed 3D Terminal Interior & Exterior
- Animated Objects
- High-Quality 3D Vehicles & People Models
- Custom Surroundings & Night Lighting
- Accurate Ground Layout & Markings
- Realistic ATC Tower Lighting
- Real-World Matching Elevation Model
FSDG
Just when MM Simulations dropped its version, Flight Sim Development Group (FSDG) came in with its own entry. FSDG had already hinted at this release before, after giving us Kusuluk Airport, located less than 400 miles away, giving simmers a proper Greenlandic aviation experience.
Features:
- Fully accurate & extremely detailed rendition of Nuuk international Airport, Greenland (BGGH)
- New ground layout with new 2,200m runway
- New 2 level terminal included with full interior modeling
- Ultra-realistic light environment and interior modeling
- Includes full coverage of Nuuk city with custom buildings, landmarks, ships,…
- Animated objects
- Realistic snow coverage in winter
- MSFS technologies (dynamic lighting, reflective textures and more)
- Compatible with all known add-ons
Simmers overwhelmed by choice can now consult Contrail, which now has a Nuuk Airport comparison page. Their side-by-side feature breakdown pits FSimStudios against MM Simulations, giving pilots a closer look at what each has to offer.
