Airport Overview
Renowned Chinese developer FSCGAA Scenery has by surprise released their first airport scenery
rendition located in the North American region specifically in the Caribbean islands. MTCH Cap
Haitien Airport located in the Island country of Haiti which is Situated on the northern coast of
the Haitian nation, Cap Haitien Airport serves as a link in the Caribbean region connecting Haiti’s
second largest airport with major regional destinations such as Fort Lauderdale, Miami and
Providenciales. Despite the challenges faced by the region, the airport continues to facilitate both
domestic and international flights, contributing to the country’s connectivity with major cities in
the area.
Airport Features
FSCGAA Scenery has carefully recreated Cap Haitien Airport with attention to detail, offering a
comprehensive depiction of this critical yet simple airport design which is a normal occurrence
for FSCGAA. The scenery encompasses the main airport buildings with a beautiful seamless mesh
with an installed third party mesh provider such as ORBX which captures the true airport
environment, providing a realistic coastline approach for virtual pilots. Custom 3D models and
textures bring the terminal buildings and infrastructure to life, while highly detailed ground
equipment and clutter add to the authenticity of the experience. Dynamic lighting enhances the
atmosphere, especially during night operations, contributing to the overall immersion of the
simulation although in real life Cap Haitien Airport does not see any flights past sunset.
Modeling and Texturing
Upon closer examination, the terminal buildings and apron exhibit impressive detailing, though
some key elements are missing such as airport building night lighting textures and real life taxiway
signs that would add even more authenticity and sort of a real-feel to the airport. Nonetheless,
the modeling is precise, capturing the essence of Cap Haitien Airport with accuracy. Ground
markings, runway textures, and surrounding terrain are all accurately textured, contributing to a
visually satisfying experience for users while using shadow baked textures. The photoreal
coverage area is indeed in high quality and as mentioned above, it meshes perfectly with ORBX or
any third party mesh addon.
Final Feedback
In conclusion, MTCH Cap Haitien Airport by FSCGAA Scenery is a worthy addition to the P3D
scenery library, offering virtual aviators the opportunity to explore Haiti’s wonderful blue waters
coastline and interesting approaches in between some mountainous terrain.
All in all, the developers have effortlessly captured the essence of Cap Haitien Airport, delivering
an eye candy and immersive experience for the P3D flight simulation enthusiasts. While there are
areas for improvement, such as taxiway signs and AFCAD parking improvements, the overall
quality of the addon is truly of high quality. I eagerly anticipate future updates and additions from
FSCGAA Scenery, as they continue to expand their catalog and enhance the virtual aviation
experience in newer areas and larger airports Africa. A job Well done to the FSCGAA Scenery
team!
