FSX Governors Harbour Airport Scenery

Experience a refined depiction of Governors Harbour Airport, located on Eleuthera in the Bahamas, through this freeware scenery package by Jimmy R. Martin. It requires the FSX Acceleration Pack and presents an immersive environment complete with precision runway positioning, detailed hangars, and realistic lighting. Designers used satellite data from Google Earth to replicate the airport’s true layout, resulting in an authentic coastal approach.

Detailed Rendering of Airport Features

This custom scenery integrates static general aviation aircraft (provided by gaplane1.zip), airborne traffic, and meticulously placed structures. The package upgrades ramps, signage, and local ground traffic, creating a richer atmosphere for Microsoft Flight Simulator X enthusiasts who want a more authentic region to explore.

Required Components and Installation Steps

• FSX Acceleration Pack must be installed beforehand.
• Search for gaplane1.zip and install it to enable additional aircraft objects.
• Locate any existing MYEM files in your add-on scenery folders and remove them to avoid conflicts.
• This add-on is not compatible with certain Bahamas Sea Plane tour packages.
• Ensure you place both provided folders into your primary add-on scenery directory before loading Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

Enhanced Lighting and Coastal Placement

The runway lighting system has been tailored for nighttime operations and features individual ramp lights to improve visibility. Because of real-world positioning, the entire airport was shifted slightly west, closer to the shoreline, improving approach realism and relevancy to the actual Bahamas environment.

Notable Technical Enhancements

Objects and People

Scattered around the apron to simulate local ground crews and travelers, improving immersion.

Photo-Referenced Layout

Runway and taxiways are oriented using satellite imagery, reducing discrepancies between in-sim visuals and real-world data.

Improved Shoreline Accuracy

Optimized to mirror the proximity of the runway to the Atlantic coast, providing a scenic departure over the turquoise waters.

All these details combined deliver a faithful interpretation of Governors Harbour Airport while maintaining smooth performance in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. This scenery is presented by Jimmy R. Martin, whose goal was to recreate the airport’s unique charm and offer simmers an engaging Bahamian destination for GA flights and beyond.
