Enthusiasts seeking a highly detailed Brazilian airport environment will find this freeware Macapá 2005 (SBMQ) scenery enhancement invaluable. It provides a faithful re-creation of the airport’s layout, complete with updated taxiway signage and refined ground markings. Created by Gustavo Luna, this add-on integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Flight Simulator X and offers an immersive experience in the heart of Amapá’s capital city.
Regional Context and Technical Insights
Located near the banks of the Amazon River in northern Brazil, Macapá is known for its tropical climate and unique geopolitical importance. The real-world airport, often identified by ICAO code SBMQ, has served as an essential hub for regional connections. In this add-on, users will discover enhanced runway surface texturing, functional signage for seamless taxi guidance, and attention to small architectural details that make aerial approaches more engaging.
Development Notes
This scenery incorporates a precise AFCAD (Airport Facility Data) file, ensuring accurate placement of gates, taxiways, and apron areas. The developer also optimized the lighting system, so pilots enjoy improved visibility during evening operations. Element arrangements throughout the terminal and support facilities replicate the characteristic layout of Macapá International Airport, helping users perform more realistic pre-flight and post-flight procedures.

Installation Procedures and File Management
- Copy the “SBMQ - Macapa 2005” folder into your simulator’s “ADDON SCENERY” directory. Within the simulator settings, navigate to Library, select Add, and activate the scenery. A simulator restart will finalize the activation.
- Place the supplied .fx files into the simulator’s Effects folder (e.g.,
Flight Simulator X\Effects
), and copy the SBRF_patioLuz.bmp texture into the Effects\texture subdirectory.
Following these steps ensures all elements are correctly positioned and easily removed if necessary, simply by deleting the corresponding scenery folder and files.
Legacy Acknowledgment
A special dedication is extended in memory of Amaro Cavalcanti Luna, father of the creator. His support and inspiration continue to shape this project’s authenticity and attention to detail.
