X-Plane 11/10 SSBN Porto Alegre Belem Novo Scenery

Expert Overview

Experience the vibrant world of Belem Novo Airfield (ICAO: SSBN) in this superb X-Plane 11/10 scenery, set in Porto Alegre, Brazil. With accurately placed aprons, ramps, gates, and enhanced lighting systems, this mod delivers a remarkably authentic environment. It includes beautiful orthophotos of the airfield area, plus XP11-specific ground services for a lifelike pushback process. Through extensive testing, I found the scenery to be immersive, reliable, and a joy to explore.

Established by the historic Aeroclub of Rio Grande do Sul, the Belem Novo Airfield is one of the oldest, most respected flight training facilities in the nation. Whether you fly gliders or practice aerobatics, this mod’s careful attention to detail makes every approach feel uniquely captivating. With its realistic atmosphere and highly detailed objects, it stands out as a specialized must-have for anyone looking to broaden their flight simulation horizons in Brazil.

This mod was installed, tested and reviewed by Adam McEnroe for Fly Away Simulation. Adam is an FS mod expert. Read his bio here.
