This freeware add-on offers a carefully enhanced representation of Rio Branco International Airport (SBRB) in Brazil, designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Developer Gustavo Luna has constructed detailed taxiway signage, custom ground markings, and optimized visual elements that allow sim pilots to experience the unique atmosphere of this southwestern Brazilian hub. Although officially known as Plácido de Castro International Airport, it simply serves as Rio Branco’s main gateway and can accommodate various aircraft types while retaining realistic proportions.

Key Airport Details and Visual Appeal

Rio Branco International sits within the state of Acre, providing an essential connection for both domestic and regional travelers. This release caters to virtual aviators who value consistent markings, proper night lighting, and precise runway dimensions. Its updated environment showcases functional aprons, navigational references, and correct field elevations. Meanwhile, the carefully placed taxiway signs and well-aligned gate positions ensure that taxiing procedures unfold smoothly from ramp to runway.

Implementation Steps and Configuration

  1. Move Scenery Folder: Copy the SBRB - Rio Branco folder into your simulator’s ADDON SCENERY directory. Within the simulator, open the settings menu, go to the scenery library, select “Add,” and activate the airport. Restart your platform after activation to ensure that all updates load properly.
  2. Effects and Textures: Locate all .fx files and place them inside the main Effects folder (e.g., Flight Simulator X\Effects). Additionally, copy the SBRF_patioLuz.bmp texture file and include it in the Texture subfolder of Effects.

This positioning method also makes it effortless to remove in case you need to revert or switch to another configuration.

Special Dedication

A heartfelt acknowledgment is given in memory of Amaro Cavalcanti Luna, the father of the developer, in recognition of his support and inspiration.
