Scenery Description
Better know as Ezeiza, SAEZ is the international airport serving the city of
Buenos Aires, Argentina. Ezeiza is the gateway to this magnificent country and
the whole southern part of the South American continent. With non-stop service
to all major cities in South and North America and Europe as well as cities in
New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia and South Africa, SAEZ is an exciting airport
where wide-body, long-haul aircraft are the norm. Served by nearly all major
airlines in the western world, SAEZ is busy and truly international. It is also
home to Aerolineas Argentinas (the third largest airline in Latinoamerica) and
LAN Argentina (a subsidiary of one of the fastest growing airlines in the
world).
SAEZ terminals have an unmistakable European flavor characteristic of the proud
South American nation. On the brink of major re-development projects, SAEZ is
also an airport bound to be the first 21st century airport in this part of the
world. In the mean time, the new international arrivals and departure wing is a
preamble to a bright future. We have rendered this impressive structure with a
luxury of detail that can be experienced at two distinct levels to accommodate
more modest computers. The rest of the terminal complex, the cargo terminal and
the unusually located maintenance and general aviation facilities have also been
portrayed in detail.
Ideal for long-haul flights and challenging low visibility approaches (quite
common in the Buenos Aires area), we invite you to explore Ezeiza like you have
never done it before. Across the Andes to Santiago, toward the mountains of
Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador, toward the southernmost airline-served airport in the
world, across the Pacific to Australia, or across the Atlantic to Europe, Asia
and Africa, SAEZ is likely to be your departure or destination point for many
exciting and unique flying experiences.

Scenery Description
SVMI or "Aeropuerto Internacional Simon Bolivar" serves
the city of Caracas, Venezuela. Historically know as Maiquetia, SVMI has been in
operation since the dawn of aviation when airlines like Pan Am pioneered
commercial flights across the Caribbean Sea bound for South America. Its prime
location on the northern coast of the South American continent made it the ideal
first and last stop before the crossing thus earning the qualification of
"Gateway" to South America and the Caribbean. SVMI has, at one time or another,
offered service to all major cities in South America, the east coast of North
America, the Caribbean and Europe. While having been much busier at other times,
SVMI continues to be an important crossroad for intercontinental flight.
SVMI was the home to Viasa (Venezolana Internacional de Aviacion, S.A.), one of
the pioneering airlines in the South America - Europe passenger routes. It was
also home to Aeropostal and the Pan Am affiliated Avensa (Aerovias Venezolanas
S.A.), two of the oldest airlines in the world. The ongoing deterioration of the
Venezuelan aviation industry resulted in the sad demise around the turn of the
century of these airlines which are yet to be replaced by another worthy of such
distinguished heritage. The lack of a major flag carrier has been compensated by
service by numerous international airlines from all over the western hemisphere.
Interestingly, SVMI is considered to be the DC9 enthusiast heaven. DC9s (on
their -30 and -50 series versions) were once the backbone of the Avensa and
Aeropostal fleets. Being strong and reliable, those same aircraft have been
handed down from airline to airline and still constitute the bulk of SVMI's
domestic and regional operations.
SVMI is located in the only sizable portion of semi-flat land between the
mountains surrounding the city of Caracas and the Caribbean Sea. Numerous
development and renovation projects have resulted in the current terminal
complex that includes a Domestic Terminal and an International Terminal. Those
facilities have been in operation since the late 1970s. At opening, they boasted
major works of art by local artists that include the floor of the passenger
check-in hall in the international terminal and two enormous colored glass
murals in the check-in hall of the domestic terminal. Both pieces have been
preserved and can still be admired today. The most recent round of improvements
still underway resulted in the expansion and complete renovation and
modernization both inside and out of the international terminal. We have
rendered both terminals as they exist today with luxury of detail.
SVMI has two semi-parallel runways, 9/27 and 10/28, the former being the
original runway that has been in operation for many decades. When runway 9/27
was the only runway, the approach to runway 9 (used 99% of the time due to the
prevailing trade winds from the east) was considered one of the most dangerous
approaches, especially at night or under low visibility conditions without the
advantages of an ILS. We invite you to explore SVMI to find our the reason for
such distinction. Runway 10/28 entered operation at the same time as the current
terminals did, easing the challenges of the approach. Nonetheless, minor
deviations from the proper approach course will continue to result in
unscheduled, violent landings either on the side of a mountain or in the
Caribbean Sea.
Scenery Features
Custom-made optimized Gmax models of the two terminals,
the traffic control tower, the auxiliary terminal, the maintenance facilities
and the cargo terminal
Custom-made, high-resolution textures for all Gmax generated models including
transparency and refection effects in the FSX version
Custom-adjusted terrain elevation at 30 meter resolution to better represent the
geography surrounding the field and enable the accurate positioning of the
runways and other airport facilities that were misplaced in both the FS2004 and
FSX default sceneries. (This feature represents the introduction if a new skill
acquired by our development team and now available to be applied in future
FS2004 and FSX sceneries)
Custom-made high-resolution ground textures fitted to the runways at their
correct location and displaying interesting mountain and coastal features
Accurate taxiway and ramp layout including detailed markings and signs
