Experience the dynamic atmosphere of Belem Airport in Brazil with this comprehensive v2.0 scenery pack. Created by developer Gustavo Luna, this freeware add-on brings a detailed rendition of SBBE, including precise runway layouts and taxiway signs for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. The airport’s unique proximity to the Amazon estuary adds an extra layer of realism for virtual pilots seeking immersive domestic and international flights.

Regional Context and Scenic Highlights

Belem Airport, also referred to as SBBE, sits in a bustling area of northern Brazil near the mouth of the Amazon River. The surrounding metropolitan region features vibrant waterways and lush rainforests, providing a compelling backdrop for approaches and departures. This scenery package strives to replicate those distinctive geographic elements, ensuring a nuanced sense of place as you taxi on the airport’s grounds.

Key Scenery Components

  • Up-to-Date Layout: The airport layout has been modeled with accuracy, reflecting real-world taxiways, gates, and apron surfaces.
  • Functional Signage: Crisp taxiway signage guides you along official paths, fostering clarity during ground movements.
  • Enhanced Realism: Custom objects and textures help convey the bustling nature of Brazil’s aviation infrastructure.

Technical Installation Details

  1. Copy the folder labeled “SBBE - Belem v2” into the “ADDON SCENERY” directory of your simulator. Then, open your settings menu and proceed to the library to activate this newly added scenery. Restarting the simulator afterward ensures proper integration.
  2. Add all .fx files to your EFFECTS folder (for instance, Flight Simulator X\effects) and move the SBRF_patioLuz.bmp file to the appropriate texture folder (Flight Simulator X\Effects\texture).

This approach allows for easy removal by simply deleting or deactivating the respective files in the future.

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.

    Excellent scenery, however, it doesn't work with FSX with Directx 10. The buildings are not visible.
