X-Plane 11 – Add-on: Aerosoft – Airport Genoa

About This Content

It’s location on an artificial peninsula in the Ligurian Sea built just for this cause makes the Airport Genoa “Cristoforo Colombo” uniquely identifiable and offers a spectacular approach right across the harbour of this famous Italian coastal city.

Airport Genoa brings this scenery to XPlane, complete with a high-resolution aerial image covering 187 sq km and a custom mesh to accurately render the special runway in the sea. The ground layout of the airport is just as detailed and realistic as the airport itself and the harbour of Genoa that feature numerous custom objects. Animated jetways at the airport and ship animations on the Ligurian Sea bring this scenery to life, while the accurately rendered lighting makes the airport shine at night.
