AFCAD File For FQBR

Beira International Airport, Mozambique, v1. Created by Bashir Ismail.

Beira is the second largest city in Mozambique. It lies in the central region of the country in Sofala Province, where the Pungue River meets the Indian Ocean.The city was established in 1890 by the Portuguese and soon supplanted Sofala as the main port in the Portuguese-administered territory. Originally called Chiveve, after a local river, it was re-named to honor the Portuguese Crown prince Dom Lus Filipe who, in 1907, was the first member of the Portuguese royal family to visit Mozambique.Traditionally the Portuguese Crown prince carried the title of Prince of Beira, a historical province of mainland Portugal.

The city prospered as a cosmopolitan port with different ethnic communities (Portuguese, Indian, Chinese, indigenous Africans) employed in administration, commerce, and industry. A large English-speaking population was the result of being a favourite holiday destination for white Rhodesians.

The Beira airport (ICAO: FQBR). is situated six miles (10km) north east of the city.

The FSX one was not convincing enough! I have tried to make it close to realistic as possible using Airport Scenery Creator v1.37 and the objects that are available for use from FSX SP2 - Acceleration. Hope this will make your stop-over more enjoyable!

Installation:
