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.

How to install this mod

X-Plane 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. Copy into Custom Scenery

    Place the scenery folder into X-Plane 12/Custom Scenery/.

  3. Set scenery load order

    X-Plane loads sceneries top-to-bottom from Custom Scenery/scenery_packs.ini. Custom airports should be ABOVE mesh and ortho-imagery.

  4. Restart X-Plane

    Close X-Plane completely and relaunch. The new content loads automatically.

  5. 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.
