For virtual pilots, the airport functions flawlessly. The approach into Runway 01 offers a stunning, challenging visual over the bay, while the smaller Runway 19 requires a tight maneuver over the city. PKSIM has correctly modeled the displaced thresholds and taxiway signage, making the scenery compatible with VATSIM and IVAO online networks. The inclusion of custom approach lighting (ALS) that aligns perfectly with Jeppesen charts is a subtle detail that hardcore simmers will greatly appreciate.
For the simmer tired of flying into rainy London or snowy Chicago, Cartagena offers a digital escape to eternal summer. Whether you are landing a 737-800 after a hop from Bogotá or taking off in a Cessna to explore the Rosario Islands, this scenery proves that PKSIM understands the two most important rules of flight simulation: if it looks real, it feels real; and if it feels real, you are already there. -FSX- PKSIM Cartagena SKCG Scenery -Colombia So...
Furthermore, the inclusion of custom, high-fidelity 3D grass and palm trees swaying in the coastal breeze adds a layer of depth that default FSX scenery lacks. The night lighting is a masterpiece of orange sodium glow, accurately reflecting the city’s warm, historic lighting rather than the cold LED feel of northern airports. The nearby city of Cartagena receives a photorealistic overhaul in the distance, with the iconic walls of the Old City (Centro Histórico) visible on approach to Runway 01.
