Caldas Novas Airport (SBCN), Brazil; corrected ramp lights version. The new airport with fidelity to the real one. By Rafael Carelli.

This FSX Scenery was developed by Rafael Carelli (Zaza) as a freeware for FSX, using, mainly, default objects. Using real data sources such as Jeppesen, DECEA, Google Earth and personal photos. Look for SWKN in the Airport Menu.

Caldas Novas is today widely used by general aviation due to the attractions of the "Hot Thermal Waters" and its ecotourism. The airline operations are limited to charter flights, especially during the summer.

The airport has the second steepest GNSS approach of Brazil where it operates 737 aircraft and Airbus A319/20 with 3.42º ofTCDA for runway 09. (first is Vitoria SBVT with 3.5º on Rwy05). The limit for this category of aircraft (C) is 3.6º. The PAPI is properly inserted with 3.27º as the real one.

Look for SBCN in the Airport MENU (not SWKN, the old one), and good flights!

Installation:

1 - Extract the files "SBCN - Caldas Novas (Zaza v1.0). zip" and paste it into the "Addon Scenery" in Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

2 - Place the files "fx" inside the folder "SBCN - Caldas Novas (Zaza v1.0) / effects" into the effects folder of FSX. Overwrite if prompted.

3 - Put the files "bmp" inside the folder "SBCN - Caldas Novas (Zaza v1.0) / effects / texture" into the effects/texture in FSX. Overwrite if prompted.

4 - Start FSX and activate the scenery in Scenery Library, browsing to Addon Scenery/folder containing the other two subfolders (Scenery and Texture).

5 - Restart the simulator (this is the more correct procedure) and good flights!

Special thanks to:

- Jim Dhaenens for lightstoo objects.
- Marcato, Amengol and Zanolli for the lighting effect.
- Magrão, Paulo Ricardo and Rubens Gonsalves(Rgons) for the inspiration in such incredible sceneries like SBJV, SBBR and many others.
- Jon Patch by Kiosk and Add_Hanger objects.
- Jon "Scruffyduck" by the great ADE and his support in forums all around the world.
- My wife, son and family for everything!

Thanks to the staff of TerraBrasilis for the inspiration in such beautiful sceneries, light, real, using the latest resources available and best of all, ALWAYS freeware! With much dedication, these guys are covering lots of our loved Brazil with beautiful sceneries!

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D scenery

  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

  2. Place scenery in Addon Scenery

    Create a folder under FSX\Addon Scenery\ containing scenery and texture sub-folders.

  3. Activate in Scenery Library

    In FSX, go to Settings → Scenery Library → Add Area. Higher priority means it overrides lower entries for the same location.

  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.
