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 Most of the markings on the runways and taxiways appear to be accurate, but when we get on the aprons, most are outdated, with triangular black and yellow gate indicators that have been semi-recently replaced by a different setup.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 The one exception is the northern part of taxiway Papa, which appears to display an outdated choice of materials according to all the recent video and photographic sources I could find.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.
