SEGU Jose Joaquin de Olmedo International Airport Publisher: SierraSim Simulation Review Author: Diego Vega Suggested Price: $14.10 /images/fsc/wbicons/store-buy-now-button.png /images/reviews/guayaqui/t/sierrasim-guayaquil-segu-09.jpg Introduction SierraSim Simulation is a scenerydeveloper with almost a decade in the market, whose main focus hasbeen the development of airports in Colombia and several airports ofother countries. On this occasion I will review the Jose Joaquin deOlmedo Airport, in the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador. Undoubtedly one of the most relevant aspects of Microsoft FlightSimulator 2020 is the technology it uses to recreate the world in 3Dand the level of realism that can be achieved. However, if theinformation from Bing Maps is not up to date, it may be that thisrepresentation is not as real as you would expect. For this reason, having developers like SierraSim is very valuable,since they considerably improve the standard scenery, especially inareas where Bing information is very old and this means that airportsare not recreated as they should. The City The scenery includes some of the iconic points of Guayaquil such asThe Point Tower, which to date is the tallest building in Ecuador, LaPrevisora Building, the Isidro Romero Monumental Stadium whichaccording to experts is one of the most beautiful stadiums in SouthAmerica, among other important points of the city that are highlightedin the video. /images/reviews/guayaqui/t/sierrasim-guayaquil-segu-07.jpg /images/reviews/guayaqui/t/sierrasim-guayaquil-segu-02.jpg The Airport The airport itself includes: Main Terminal Cargo Area GA Area Military base The level of detail of the airport is very good, especially thepassenger terminal which is an excellent representation of the actualbuilding, both in its design and the textures used in it. /images/reviews/guayaqui/t/sierrasim-guayaquil-segu-05.jpg /images/reviews/guayaqui/t/sierrasim-guayaquil-segu-01.jpg The Cargo Area, GA and the Military Base are quite simplestructures that are very well represented in this scenery and againthe correct use of the textures of the buildings and hangars give agood level of realism to the scenery. /images/reviews/guayaqui/t/sierrasim-guayaquil-segu-03.jpg If there is something that I consider should be improved, it is thetextures of the green areas of the airport because apparently thedeveloper used the standard textures and in some of them you can seeparts of clouds from the satellite image which definitely does notlook good. /images/reviews/guayaqui/t/sierrasim-guayaquil-segu-04.jpg Another aspect that I consider can be improved is the lighting atnight. In general the lighting of the objects added in the city isvery good, however at the airport you can see that the areas areilluminated, but there are no visible lights. That is, the lighting isthere but the lights are missing. /images/reviews/guayaqui/t/sierrasim-guayaquil-segu-06.jpg /images/reviews/guayaqui/t/sierrasim-guayaquil-segu-08.jpg Conclusion The price of this scenery is below $15, so we could consider thatit is an economic scenery if we compare it with other similarproducts, however this does not mean that it is a simple product orthat it lacks some important aspect, on the contrary I think that youget a very good product at a very good price. I believe that SierraSim has done a very good job on this product.The inclusion of several iconic points of the city significantlyimproves the appearance of the city from the air, and in what has todo with the airport, the improvement versus the standard scenery ishuge, partly because of the outdated information from Bing, but mainlybecause of the level of detail of the airport objects and the correctuse of textures. In the video you can see each of these aspects, and I hope it willbe useful for those who are thinking of purchasing this scenery. /images/reviews/guayaqui/title3.jpg Diego Vega Purchase Sierrasim Simulation – SEGU José JoaquÃn de Olmedo International Airport for MSFS See other scenery from SierraSim Simulation -
The design team at Sierrasim Simulation has been busy creatingSouth American airports for the new Microsoft Flight Simulator. Todaythey announce the release of three additional airports, SKBG PalonegroInternational Airport in Colombia, SEGU Jose Joaquin de Olmedo InternationalAirport in Ecuador and SKMZ La Nubia Airport in Colombia. Sierrasim Simulation – SKMZ La Nubia Airport for MSFS /images/notams/notams20/sier1015/SRS-225-skmz-msfs.jpgLa Nubia Airport (IATA: MZL, ICAO: SKMZ) is an airport servingManizales, Colombia, 8 km (5 mi) southeast of the city’s downtown. Due to its short runway and limited ramp space, the only aircraftthat can use the airport are turboprop aircraft such as the Fokker 50,ATR 72, and Dash 8. The main problem of La Nubia airport isweather. Sometimes shut down due to fog, rain, or winds, it isdifficult for airlines to offer a reliable schedule for the passengerswishing to visit Manizales and Caldas. Combined with its daylight-onlyhours of operation and limited runway length. Runway 28 has a 75 meter (246 ft) displaced threshold. TheManizales VOR-DME (Ident: MZL) is located 3.7 nautical miles (6.9 km)west of the runway 10 threshold. The runway has a steep drop-off intoa river valley to the south. There is high terrain north and south ofthe airport.

The airport provides the Bucaramanga Metropolitan Area andsurrounding towns with access to international and domesticflights. The airport receives flights from major cities in Colombia aswell as international flights from Panama City. The main terminal is25 minutes from the city in the fast lane of the highway west toGiron. It is currently positioned as the eighth largest airport inColombia; for this reason the expansion and construction of a newNational boarding area is being developed.
