Hi guys!

I write the following message to indicate some differences that exist in the Santiago scenary (SCEL)

1. Taxiway H between P and Z

There is a curve at the entry to taxiway Z, considering that the entrance is in a straight line (90 degrees)

2. Difference in parking positions of old cargo ramp

On the scenery the parking positions are at 45 degrees, while in reality these parking positions are at 90 degrees numbered from 43 to 47 (one is missing on the scenery since it is only up to 46)

3. Taxiway closed

There is a taxiway between P and Q that is closed demarcated with X

4. Parking position Terminal 1

In the scenary it is necessary to add the parking positions 19A / 19B, 20A / 20B, 25R, 29, 30, 31, 32

It should also be noted that parking lots 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 are for widebody aircraft

Real 19A, 19B, 20A, 20B, 25R: https://ibb.co/MNnDvrF

29, 30, 31, 32: https://ibb.co/DDfc4P9

It is also necessary to highlight that positions 44A, 44B and 47 are missing on the old cargo ramp.

In W parking position missing position W5, W7A, W7B, W9A and W9B

It should also be noted that parking lots W1, W2, W3, W4, W5, W6, W7, W8 and W9 are for widebody aircraft

Other missing parking would be C2A/B C4A/B C1A/B C3A/B C5A/B, E2A/B E4A/B E6A/B, E1A/B E3A/B E5A/B.

5. American Airlines maintenance ramp must be added

Also as an additional option, would it be possible to include in the scenario the winter setting, where the grass surrounding the airport is green and not yellow?

I really appreciate the work they do and my message is only in order to contribute to further refine this scenario! Thanks a lot

Best regards

Hi, thank you for this.

You must understand we developed this scenery two years ago, and we based it on the plans they had for construction, not based on satellite imagery from a few weeks ago as you have posted.

We can't keep up with new constructions on our airports because things change all the time.

What I can promise is a revision in the near future once construction has ended on SCEL to update as much as we can without charging customers again.

Ideally we will revise the taxiways and cargo positions and other stands. Thanks for this, will keep it in mind.

Hello Ricardo good morning

Thank you very much for your answer, yes, absolutely and the development of the stage is greatly appreciated. Precisely my post is to be able to contribute and make some observations regarding the changes they have made at the airport and to contribute with you!

I will be watching for an upcoming update that makes some of the changes

Thank you very much for your work!

Hello Ricardo good morning

I take advantage of commenting to add to the changes in SCEL that changes the reference points for low visibility procedures, remaining as attached in the PDF to see if a modification can be made to the scenery

Best regards

Any chance of update?

Hi, we won't update, because the airport is still in construction, as the chart shows.

We can't update continuously whilst construction is ongoing. The next update will be when all construction is done and no more updates will be needed.

The airport is sold as is, we published images, we never promised any updates thereafter.

But as a courtesy and because we care about accuracy, once construction is done we will update the airport with a final layout that won't require customers to pay for an update.
