AFCAD File For SBGR

This custom AFCAD refinement for Guarulhos International Airport (SBGR) in São Paulo, Brazil introduces extensive parking enhancements, realigned routing for service vehicles, and supplemental ground support, all tailored for the default Microsoft Flight Simulator X environment. It has been meticulously recreated by Ray Smith to ensure more streamlined gate assignments and efficient aircraft movements.

Refined Gate and Stand Configuration

By integrating additional parking spots throughout the apron, this design optimizes capacity for both AI traffic and user flights. Special attention has been given to realistic ramp layouts, aligning gates to mirror real-world positioning. This provides an authentic experience for those simulating domestic and international routes out of one of Brazil’s busiest aviation hubs.

Supporting Vehicle Paths and Fuel Services

Service roads have been amended to limit ground traffic overlaps and congestion. Users will notice the addition of extra fuel trucks, which helps maintain realistic dispatch times. These tweaks create a smoother circulation of baggage tugs and other auxiliary vehicles around terminal zones.

Included BGL Files

SBGR_ADE_RS.BGL

Placed in the Addon Scenery folder to handle fundamental airport configurations and geometry.

SBGR_ADE_OBJ.BGL

Stored in the Global Scenery directory for additional models and visual elements within the airfield environment.

Installation Steps

1. Copy SBGR_ADE_RS.BGL into the “Flight Simulator X/Addon Scenery/scenery” folder.
2. Move SBGR_ADE_OBJ.BGL into “Flight Simulator X/Scenery/Global/scenery.”
3. Launch the simulator and verify the updated positions on the ground layout.

• Important: Ensure no other SBGR AFCAD files exist in the Addon Scenery folder to avoid parking conflicts. Only use the files provided by Ray Smith.
• If you have custom AI traffic packages installed, verify they are not using a different SBGR AFCAD. Conflicting data can cause incorrect gate assignments.

Removal Instructions

1. Delete the installed BGL files from both folders. The simulator will revert to its default airport rendition upon the next launch.

All revisions were completed by Ray Smith, whose attention to detail aims for a more immersive flight simulation experience in and around São Paulo. Fly safely with improved ground accuracy and more versatile parking options.
