X-Plane 11/10 SNVR Aeroclube Bahia Itaparica Scenery

Expert Overview

This add-on enriches X-Plane 11 and 10 with a detailed rendition of SNVR Aeroclube Bahia Itaparica, a private aviation school and general aviation airfield nestled on Itaparica Island in Brazil. Relying primarily on default X-Plane libraries, it features accurately laid-out aprons, gates, taxiways, and customized urban structures, capturing the scenery of the region for flight training and casual flights alike. The inclusion of ortho-photo imagery and realistic light systems enhances low-level operations, while X-Plane 11 users can also engage ground services like pushback for a more complete experience.

Having personally tested it over the years on Windows setups across both X-Plane 11 and 10 releases, I can attest to its smooth performance and visually appealing atmosphere. From the moment you set eyes on the runway approach to the final taxi to the hangars, the attention to detail transforms Itaparica into a memorable destination for virtual pilots, offering a fresh layer of authenticity to this scenic corner of Bahia.
