    GVAC - Amilcar Cabral International Airport - Sal Island - Cape Verde - Image 1

    Description

    Amílcar Cabral International Airport (IATA: SID, ICAO: GVAC), also known as Sal International Airport, is the main international airport of Cape Verde. The airport is named after the revolutionary leader Amílcar Cabral. It is located two km west-southwest from Espargos on Sal Island. Sal is the main hub for the national airline, Cabo Verde Airlines; and serves as a base for carrier Cabo Verde Express. This airport was also one of NASA's locations for a facility to handle the Space Shuttle after reentering from orbit.

    Please note that this scenery don't reflect the real buildings and environment of GVAC Airport, it's only a free creation to bring more beauty for standard MSFS airport.

    I have added also night light.

    This scenery uses only standard Asobo libraries, no additional downloads are required. 

    To install, please only copy "vedras-airport-gvac-sal.rar" file to your Commmunity folder. 

    Please note that I can use different Asobo/MSFS libraries to build my own sceneries, including new libraries from World Updates. Then, if you don't have all World Updates installed on your MSFS, it's possible that you don't see all buildings and other objects from my scenery. It will depend of what objects I have used on each scenery and what World Updates you have or not.

    Hope that you have fun.

    Nice airport. ILS for RWY 01 is incorrectly offset to the right by one dot in the ILS/LOC approach in your PFD. If you would leave the autopilot on you would land about 10m to the RWY 01 in the dirt.Also the runway should be with localizer course 011° and it is 008° - 4/5

    Thanks by your comment. Anyway I don't see what you say, I have uploaded now 2 imagens on User Gallery with what I see. You could check if you have any other GVAC addon that could be in conflict with mine for example. If you want, please check and let me have your feedback. Thanks again.

    I’ll have to have a look on Saturday. It was basically the asobo fuel trucks were parked on top of the hangar with the two planes inside. This is the only gvac addon I have it may have just been a temporary issue resolved by reloading the sim

    I have no airport buildings and the standart edition of MFS. So i need a special Wolrd Update Package?

    You should be able to see all the buildings with MSFS standard edition (Premium Version). And please confirm that you have also World Updates updated on your sim.

    I have all World Updates without USA, Japan and Australia

    Then, it's explained why you don't see buildings. As I say in my scenery description, I have added only standard Asobo libraries. But several libraries came from World Updates, where we have new buildings, hangars, vehicles, etc. And yes, on this airport I have used at least libraries from Japan and USA updates.

    I could import this libraries for my own sceneries, but on that way my scenerie files will be much more bigger. This is the reason why my sceneries are only some "kbites".

    My recommendation, also for a complete enjoy of MSFS, is to do all the updates including World Updates.

    Sorrry about that, I will also review my strategy for future sceneries, if I will include Asobo libraries or not in my own files.

    But at least at this moment I don't have plans to do that on GVAC.

    Again thanks by your comment, it's relevant.
