FSX Accra Airport Scenery

This modification enhances Kotoka International Airport (DGAA) in Accra, Ghana, with a brand-new cargo facility and additional buildings that enrich the overall environment. Developed by Lee Marrow for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, this scenery pack also includes an updated AFCAD featuring extra parking ramps. The upgrade uses default simulator structures and vehicles, ensuring a straightforward installation.

Key Upgrades and Visual Enhancements

Significant changes revolve around the cargo area, where the addition of hangars and ground objects spruce up the existing airfield layout. The visual style leverages default simulator assets to align neatly with the surrounding environment. This approach preserves performance while giving the airport a more dynamic and lived-in appearance.

Expanded Cargo Operations

The brand-new cargo zone includes warehouses, service vehicles, and appropriately designated ramps that reflect real-world logistics practices. These extra touches create a more realistic scene for those who prefer cargo-hauling flights or enjoy replicating vital transport operations within the region.

Detailed Parking Arrangements

An enhanced AFCAD (Airport Facility Data) file boosts the number of parking spots and repositions them to improve traffic flow and organization. This update permits seamless operations even when multiple aircraft arrive simultaneously, reflecting a better layout for both passenger and cargo aircraft. Pilots who frequently use large jets will appreciate the smoother taxi transitions and expanded aprons.

Installation and Configuration

To add this updated airport scenery, simply unzip the “DGAA” folder into your Addon Scenery directory within Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Next, access the Scenery Library in the simulator menu, include the newly extracted folder, and then confirm the changes. Once that step is complete, you can load flights with the improved Accra layout.

The developer has relied on default in-sim models and objects, so there is no need for external libraries or third-party assets. Everything required is already integrated into the package, making the process easier for those who want a quick setup without extra downloads.
