FSX Ciudad Guayana Airport Scenery

This free airport enhancement for Microsoft Flight Simulator X focuses on Ciudad Guayana Airport (ICAO: SVPR) in southern Venezuela, created by Jaime Ortega. It features a custom-rendered terminal, control tower, emergency facilities, and dedicated heliports with lifelike surface finishes. The scenery aims to capture the distinct character of this regional hub nestled by the Caroní and Orinoco Rivers, offering an immersive environment to those who frequently simulate flights in Venezuela.

Key Highlights of the Airport Architecture

Terminal Structure: The terminal is redesigned with advanced texturing that reflects the unique appearance of Ciudad Guayana’s main passenger facility. Each detail, such as windows and signage, helps simulate real-world proportions.

Airfield Installations: A specially modeled control tower, alongside a working fire station, adds to the realism of ground operations. In addition, there are multiple boarding zones and heliports, all designed with crisp textures.

Jetway Deployment Instructions

In order to position the individual jetways, pilots can use the NAV2 frequency on their aircraft’s navigation systems. Tune your NAV2 to the specified frequency for each gate, and the jetway will move toward the aircraft. Disengaging that frequency causes it to return to its initial position, streamlining the boarding simulation.

Installation Procedure for Optimal Use

1. Extract the scenery folder to a chosen location on your hard drive. By default, it may install to C:\Scenarios Fsx\Ciudad Guayana Fsx.
2. Launch Flight Simulator X, open the “Settings” menu, and visit the “Scenery Library.”
3. Select “Add Area,” navigate to the Addon Scenery folder, and pick the newly added Ciudad Guayana Fsx folder.

It is recommended to place this scenery at a higher priority in your library so its custom elements load correctly over any default data.
