X-Plane 11 CAP3 Sechelt/Gibsons Airport Scenery

Expert Overview

This enhanced scenery for X-Plane 11 recreates the Sechelt/Gibsons Airport area in British Columbia, delivering detailed surroundings that include both the aerodrome and harbor. During my own tests, I found the fully custom terminal, docks, and nearby mine to be exceptionally well-modeled, especially when complemented by the high-resolution ZL18 ground textures. The harbor area adds an immersive touch, and static aircraft from various creators bring a lively atmosphere to the airfield.

Optimized specifically for the rugged Sunshine Coast landscape, this mod addresses the challenging default mesh by recommending a custom mesh solution like Ortho4XP. It was even tested in X-Plane 10.51, showing impressive backward compatibility. From its accurate modeling of the coastal terrain to the vibrant, real-world feel of the docks and terminal, this add-on provides a top-tier upgrade for pilots searching for a more authentic Canadian flight experience.

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

Sechelt Aerodrome is located 1.3 nautical miles south southeast of Sechelt-Gibsons, British Columbia, Canada. Both the airport and the harbour are modelled in this package. The harbour features a fully custom terminal building and docks (the nearby mine is also modelled).

Requires: CDB library (CDB_LIBRARY.ZIP), JB Library (JB_LIBRARY.ZIP), RD_Library (RD_LIBRARY.ZIP), The Handy Object Library (THE_HANDY_OBJECTS_LIBRARY.ZIP), MisterX Library (MISTERX_LIBRARY.ZIP) and OpenSceneryX (OPENSCENERYX.ZIP).

Special thanks to AeroPedro - Aircraft models used in static aircraft (please do not redistribute), Paul Mort - Long hangar/construction vehicles, and Nonimap – Orthophotos. Tested in X-Plane 10.51 and features ZL18 ground textures. This scenery needs a custom mesh (Ortho4XP) in order to deal with the terrible default mesh.
