For various reasons we tend to focus on aircraft and don't pay much attention to scenery. I was poking around and saw this scenery is now available in the MSFS Store. There is some information about it here - https://fselite.net/content/kennedy-space-center-releases-for-msfs/

It is interesting that you get to choose between 3 scenery time periods / sets. The developer (TerraBuilder) also states that an additional set (SpaceX pads and "real" launches) will be coming. Sounds interesting, but it seems all recent product launches are "half baked". (I will probably buy this because in the winter season, FL is my backyard.)
 
Sounds interesting, but I'd never use the Shuttle/Apollo time periods, so paying $30 for three sceneries, two of which would never be used, would be a waste.

There are also freeware sceneries on the .to site for anyone that wants some basic enhancements. Just use the scenery map to find them.
 
Interesting this should come up.

I caught this great video from the Starfighter Aerospace guys based at Kennedy. It inspired me to download the freeware Space Centre scenery from .to and the black TF-104 livery. The freeware scenery matches the hanger area where these guys operate from pretty well.


Piercarlo Ciacchi is an excellent presenter and his various videos are great.
 
Even though not all of us agree on the relevance factor, I'm turning this into a sticky. It's a new addon, so there you go.

It's fantastic! They're already working on the first update and have been super receptive to suggestions. The detail is amazing, and I've spent a decent amount of time at the real KSC. (Saw a Shuttle launch and the Orion EFT-1 test launch.) The update's going to add to the already crazy level of detail by adding stuff like animated tracks on the crawler. (Which already moves between the VAB and pad.)

Down the road they're going to add animated launches as well.

Currently only shows up in FS2020; dev is still waiting on MS to process it for 2024.

(Also, note that Redwing also has KSC scenery in two parts that has less detail than this one.)
