About Santarém Airport (SBSN)
Located near the junction of the Amazon and Tapajós rivers in Pará, Brazil, Santarém Maestro Wilson Fonseca Airport (SBSN) serves as a vital regional hub for airline routes, cargo traffic, and general aviation.
Our rendition for X-Plane 12 features a custom terrain mesh with smooth runway slopes and accurate elevation profiles, coupled with high-resolution orthoimagery to blend the airport seamlessly into the tropical Amazonian environment.
Development is now fully complete. The package includes hand-placed 3D regional vegetation, rigorous PBR texturing with realistic surface wear, and fine-tuned night lighting for immersive evening operations.
