Punta Cana International Airport (ICAO: MDPC) is one of the Caribbean's busiest and most recognizable gateways, serving millions of tourists annually who flock to the Dominican Republic's eastern coastline. Situated near the resort town of Punta Cana in La Altagracia Province, the airport handles a heavy mix of wide-body charter and scheduled traffic from across North America and Europe. Despite its real-world significance, the airport has historically been underrepresented in the simulator with accurate, up-to-date scenery — something community developer Chak991 has now set out to address.
The released 🔗 MDPC – Punta Cana International 24 is described by its creator as a complete rework of the airport, built specifically for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. The add-on brings a refreshed apron layout that reflects more current real-world configurations, alongside custom-built 3D models, updated lighting across the airport environment, and reworked textures throughout. The result is a noticeably more detailed and visually coherent representation of the airport compared to what the default simulator provides.
The scenery covers the airport's terminal infrastructure and ground layout with attention to accuracy. Custom lighting helps the airport come alive during night operations, which is particularly relevant given the volume of long-haul transatlantic arrivals that touch down after dark. The add-on also includes a GSX ground services profile, contributed by community member mortysimmer, allowing users of the popular GSX ground handling tool to enjoy properly positioned jetways, ground vehicles, and boarding sequences at the airport.
Installation is straightforward — simply unpack the downloaded archive and place the folder into your Community directory. One important compatibility note worth keeping in mind: the add-on is not compatible with the Bijan Seasons Enhanced package. Early community feedback has been positive, with users noting that the scenery compares favorably — and in some cases favorably exceeds — existing payware options for the same airport.
This is a freeware release, and Chak991 has made it clear that they welcome both feedback and suggestions for improvement as the scenery continues to be refined.
