X-Plane 11 - Add-on: Aerosoft - Airport Rio de Janeiro – Santos Dumont PC

Santos Dumont Airport stands as a key hub near Rio de Janeiro's financial center, handling domestic flights from its spot on Guanabara Bay. This simulation add-on delivers an ultra-high resolution replica with custom runways, aprons, and taxiways featuring ambient occlusion. Surrounding details include tons of static objects, animated vehicles, ships, barges, 3D grass, and landmarks like Sugar Loaf hill, the Rio-Niteroi Bridge, and animated cable cars. Flight simulation enthusiasts pilot through a fully animated environment with superior lighting, HDR effects, night textures, and partial terminal rendering. Ground service, aircraft traffic, and auto gates with ramp marshalling add realism across 833,000 square meters. The setup covers two runways, three helipads, and 35 charts for precise operations at this historic site named for aviation pioneer Alberto Santos Dumont.

Santos Dumont Airport (SBRJ) is a central airport located close to the financial center of Rio de Janeiro operating domestic flights. Built in the 30s on top of an embankment at Guanabara Bay, Santos Dumont airport was the first civil airport opened in Brazil. Today it’s the second busiest airport in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
