FSX Robben Island Airstrip Scenery

Robben Island Airstrip (AX78) brings the historic gravel strip in Table Bay to life with detailed terrain shaping and tuned vector features, capturing the island’s oval footprint and Cape Town coastal context in FSX. For best results it requires Aeroworx Southern Africa mesh and terrain packages for accurate elevations.

(AX78), South Africa. Robben Island is an island in Table Bay, some seven kilometers off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa. The name is Dutch for "Seal Island". Robben Island is roughly oval shaped with a disused gravel airstrip. It is of particular note as it was here that former South African President and Nobel Laureate Nelson Mandela and former South African President Kgalema Motlanthe, alongside many other political prisoners were imprisoned. During the Second World War, the island was fortified and guns were installed as part of the defenses for Cape Town. Please install FSXWORX01.ZIP, FSXWORX02.ZIP, and the updates before this scenery. By Hannes Steyn, Martin du Preez, Aeroworx.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • This scenery will work best with the Aeroworx mesh. Mesh for Southern Africa 0604,0605,0704 and 0705 and Detailed Terrain features for South Africa by Aeroworx (Be sure do download all Parts)
  • The level of the many dams and other vector data have been fine-tune to the elevations of the Aeroworx FSX Mesh.
  • You may still find some default dams to be sunken into the ground or sitting on elevated surfaces.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D scenery

  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

  2. Place scenery in Addon Scenery

    Create a folder under FSX\Addon Scenery\ containing scenery and texture sub-folders.

  3. Activate in Scenery Library

    In FSX, go to Settings → Scenery Library → Add Area. Higher priority means it overrides lower entries for the same location.

  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.
