Those are quite fetching with the transparent glass alternating with solid panels and the visible interiors beyond. This excludes the central international terminal, which may be considered a viable tradeoff, considering that you don’t get as close to it during normal operations as opposed to the piers extending from it. The terminal buildings are fairly detailed, and feature modeled interiors. Many of the gates in the real world also feature two jetways, but they all have only one in this scenery. The jetways are detailed and pleasant to the eye, but many seem to be unable to extend as far as required to connect with the aircraft, regardless of body width. This is fairly common in airports of this size and scope, as developers try their best to find a balance between beauty and performance. The modeling is reasonably well done across the board, even if details and texture resolution can be a little inconsistent. There is plenty to see and explore regardless of which branch of aviation you aim to simulate. SCEL is a very large airport, so not only you get an extensive operational area for airliners, but you also have two cargo aprons, a business jet area, and a military base. From the operational point of view, the airport showed no issue once I removed Navigraph’s data. Ground services are all available, including the much-neglected fuel trucks that so many developers omit. Of course, this is not LatinVFR’s fault and it’s easily solved simply by uninstalling Navigraph’s custom data when you use the airport, at least until the temporary issue is removed.Īll the PAPIs are also correctly calibrated, providing helpful visual landing references. A temporary limit on runway operations created an incompatibility with Microsoft Flight Simulator, so SIDs and STARs are removed. The only exception is if you use Navigraph. To LatinVFR’s credit, recent photographic and video sources are extremely difficult to find for this part of the airport.Īll the SIDs, STARs, and navigation aids work correctly.

This doesn’t heavily affect operations, since taxiways and gates are labeled correctly enough that ATC provides useful guidance, but it may need an update pass in the future. On top of that, Gate 17 is marked at “16” on the jetway (you basically have two Gate 16s. Many of the parking paths are missing or oriented incorrectly and the red clearance area markings that exist in the real world are not portrayed. Most of the markings on the runways and taxiways appear to be accurate, but when we get on the aprons, most are outdated, with triangular black and yellow gate indicators that have been semi-recently replaced by a different setup. It appears only occasionally, but it’s better to look out for it, since it’s in the aiming zone. There also appears to be an occasional elevation issue creating a bump on runway 35L. The one exception is the northern part of taxiway Papa, which appears to display an outdated choice of materials according to all the recent video and photographic sources I could find. The developers did a really good job with reproducing the complex patchwork of materials of runways, taxiways, and aprons, and the weathering is very nice as well, with plenty of rubber markings, dirt, and stains that give the airport a realistic and “lived” look and feel. That being said, it does an adequate job from the distance. Unfortunately, the city of Santiago itself isn’t very well portrayed in the sim, with no landmarks to enliven its skyline.

If you don’t get it from the official marketplace it’ll use the Contrail app, which makes its installation and update effortless.Īs you can easily notice in the videos, the airport benefits from an extremely scenic location in a wide valley among the mountains of Chile, making approach and landing procedures both interesting and gorgeous.

SCEL can be purchased on LatinVFR’s own store for $17.99 or on the official Microsoft Flight Simulator marketplace. If you’d like to see in detail what the airport looks like, the first video above showcases an ILS approach and landing on runway 17L, while the second below provides a detailed flyover of the whole area.
