Info

Note: To use VDGS (Visual Docking Guidance System), see “Extras\README.txt”. If you use MSFS 2024, create a free Aerosoft account and install VDGS inside the Aerosoft One client instead.
The Aeropuerto de Gran Canaria, which is known as the largest airport of the Canary Islands and serves as a stopover on Europe-South America flights, has now been implemented for Microsoft Flight Simulator by the developer team sim-wings.

The airport on the popular volcanic island was adapted to the default elevation model via terraforming. A runway with real elevation profile (sloped) and the ap … read moreron of the airport on a lower level guarantee a realistic condition.

The virtual airport Gran Canaria comes with functional windsocks, PBR materials for all buildings and objects as well as realistically working VDGS Docking Systems with Aerosoft VDGS Modules.

Features:

• Highly detailed Gran Canaria Airport scenery
• Terraforming to blend airport into default elevation model
• Runway with real elevation profile (sloped) and on a lower level then the Apron of the airport
• Custom aerial photo for the airport, elaborate retouching and color-correction for a true display
• Intensive use of PBR Materials to build realistic surface for all Buildings and Objects
• Detailed ground markings based on recent charts of parking stands
• Extremely detailed Gran Canaria airport buildings with interior designs at apron side and infrastructure buildings
• Detailed animated jetway models with Lighteffects while moving
• Functional windsocks
• Many static apron vehicles
• Realistic night time dynamic lighting
• Real working VDGS Docking Systems with Aerosoft VDGS Modules

  1. for some reason when I copy paste the folder and I start the sim, it does not work, I keep having the default airport, It happens with both sim wings airports, GCLP and GCLA. anyone know why????

  2. yeah plaza Team speak would be a nice alternative for us to “be with you” (lol) cheers my brother, surely simplaza will be in my heart forever, this is so much above porn!!

  3. Hi Simplaza there’s a new discord alternative called TeamSpeak and I’ve heard there’s no censorship involved in that. Would it be possible for you to create a Simplaza server on that app for us?

    1. I personally do not use ANY site that opposes open & free internet. Free as in if it is uploaded it is free and fair game.

  4. “Access path too long”. “model.aerosoft_APIS_guidance_TL_01”.
    Any solution for this issue?
    Thanks a lot.

      1. Not a good idea if you want to use the VDGS module, instead he should enable Windows Long Paths (or move the MSFS installation folder somewhere else so the dir is flatter)

  5. Every developer knows this site now. let’s take this site underground away from the big public

      1. Fair enough haha. I love this site and appreciate the work that is put in so much. Life is so expensive right now and this allows me to enjoy evenings/a hobby/life next to the endless working. So I just brainstormed if we could protect it but you are right. Thanks!

      1. LVFR static aircraft gave me so many problems, i decided to delete.. Sometimes floating in air, sometimes double with airport scenery static aircraft.. Not worth it

        1. yeah with me as well, was one of the first mods i bought in MS but after a week was clear, wasnt doing the job…even for a offline simmer like me, and very bad textures…you see thats why plaza is the perfect pace to try it out before buying it, and like static aircraft i was tricked with so many bad mods, hundreds of euros in the trash, realizing that even asobo had way better ones with just 50mb versus 1gb…some mods are frame killers and that is another thing(even if the mod look like heaven) that will just be unusable, and i have a beast of a pc…rtx 3090 M2 ssd samsung pro 2tb, 64gb of the best ram money can buy (corsair) etc, is just a shame that some developers are just money thieves and after they conned 200 simmers they go to another one instead of fixing what’s wrong with their product…im done thats why simplaza need to be appreciated by us, at least we have the chance of testing it and not be tricked by those fools sorry my language but isnt fair buying something that isnt refundable after you realize is crap…even in steam you can get a refund of a triple A game if you find wasnt what they advertise. Oh well

    1. Great to see you back Simplaza. I was about to drop my PC in the ocean to escape the feds.

      1. Lol. Thought Simplaza was done for when I saw the errors. Though they smelled like a take down… Connected through Chile and still no joy. Glad to see you back.

    2. My only complaint, is that the aircrafts are slightly more forward than supposed, and too close to the terminal.

    3. Simplaza always reads my mind for wishes. I am also dreaming of central european birds by the way 😁
