About Gibraltar in MSFS

Gibraltar's rich history and unique geography are expertly captured in this scenery mod. From the imposing Rock of Gibraltar to the densely populated city area, every aspect has been replicated with precision. The region's strategic importance, evident through its control over the Strait of Gibraltar, and its vibrant economy based on tourism and financial services are subtly reflected in the scenery's layout and design.

Understanding Photogrammetry in Flight Simulation

Photogrammetry, a process where 2D images are converted into 3D models, brings unmatched realism to flight simulation. This technology allows for the creation of intricate and accurate landscapes, providing pilots with an immersive experience that closely mirrors real-world environments. In the MSFS Gibraltar Scenery mod, photogrammetry ensures that every building, terrain feature, and landmark corresponds with its real-life counterpart.

Installation Instructions

Installing the scenery is straightforward. Simply download the archive, extract it, and copy the thalixte-gibraltar folder directly into the MSFS Community folder. This process integrates the mod with the existing game setup, enabling you to experience the beauty of Gibraltar immediately after installation.
