Thirty four remote stands located along the periphery of the terminal ramp are used as terminal overflow or short-term parking. Every gate also provides direct ramp access for boarding and deplaning aircraft parked at the remote stands. Separate bridges connect each gate to the departure and arrival facilities. It also features a distinctive set of elevated structures or bridges that connect the boarding areas of each gate to the main terminal.
Terminal 2 offers eleven jetway-equipped gates, all suitable to accommodate one wide-body or two narrow-body aircraft. Although it has been in operation for a few years, the eastern portion of the terminal was only recently completed as part of the city’s preparations to host the Soccer World Cup in 2014 and the Summer Olympics in 2016. The newer Terminal 2 is used primarily by TAM, Brasil’s largest international airline, and its Star Alliance® partners. It features twelve jetway-equipped gates, half of them being suitable for large aircraft visiting form North America, Europe and Africa. Terminal 1 is older and it is currently used by most domestic and foreign airlines not part of the Star Alliance®. Our scenery includes detailed renditions of SBGL’s two passenger terminals, and no effort was spared to capture every architectural detail of each structure. Those structures are an integral part of the airport environment, clearly visible from the ground during taxing as well as from the air during approach to runways 10 and 15 and 33. In addition, detailed 3D models of the elevated highways that provide access to the island are included in the scenery. The entire island and the adjacent coastline are rendered as accurately as possible. It occupies the western portion of an island in the Bay of Guanabara and features two runways, two semi-circular passenger terminals, and freight, maintenance and military facilities. Rio’s international airport is located in the suburb of Galeao, a few miles north of the city center. The use of three-dimensional features whenever possible to render architectural details in combination with high-resolution texturing both enhances the look of the scenery models and makes our scenery particularly suitable for the use of the latest 3D graphics display technology.
The passenger terminals and other general aviation facilities are reproduced at the highest level of detail using our distinctive “True 3D” modeling techniques. High-resolution, satellite image-based terrain textures are used for areas in the immediate vicinity of the airports to enhance the simulated environment. The scenery is offered in two versions sold separately, one for FS2004 and another for FSX.Ĭurrent Version: 1.1.1 for FS2004 and 1.2.2 for FSXīluePrint Simulations® SBGL scenery contains detailed renditions of two of the three major commercial airports serving Rio de Janeiro, Brasil’s second largest city.
