Description
Araracuara Airport, Colombia for MSFS
Araracuara Airport (IATA: ACR, ICAO: SKAC) is an airport serving Araracuara, in the Caquetá Department of Colombia. Araracuara was the site of a former penal colony for Colombia's worst and most dangerous criminals. The town and airport are on the north bank of the Caquetá River, an eventual tributary of the Amazon River.
This is a simple piece for those willing to venture into unknown places; this time into a forgotten place right in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. It serves as an army base.
The scenery includes:
- the stunning river canyon that is prominent on final approach to the airport (hand made with standard MSFS objects available from the sim library).
- a DC-3 Wreck repressenting a real Curtiss that went down at the airport decades ago (Thanks to AndrasKis for making it available. Not my modelling work, I just imported it to the scenery because it fits the real life equivalent well - under CC Attribution license).
- A few perimeter fences and objects to try and ressemble the real Airport.
Special thanks to:
- AndrasKis (providing the DC-3 model under a generous CC Attribution license)
- Vpilot (support and development tips with the SDK)
- arhuako (support and development tips with the SDK)
I may update the airport as time goes one with more buildings (it`s a military base, so adding hangars and military assets makes sense)

the rock is floating...do we need other things to make it work?

Nothing else is required, everyting was done with standard MSFS objects. The Sim probably got an update to the mesh in that region since I worked this addon, and now some objects are not fully aligned to the new mesh. I unfortunately won't have time to update this anytime soon

Gracias por tu comentario. No tengo planes de hacer nuevos aeropuertos por el momento. Talvez le haga un update a este con modelos de edificios en un futuro, pero ha faltado tiempo.
