Airport Review | Aerosoft Gibraltar (LXGB) XP12
Our dedicated reviewer, Paul Beckwith, virtually flies to Gibraltar and explores not only the airport but also the famous rock.
According to Paul, “Skyline Simulations has modelled a well-thought-out and detailed rendition of Gibraltar International Airport. While no scenery package is ever perfect, Gibraltar has far more going for it than working against it, with only one major problem in the whole package. That problem, as mentioned, is the absence of ground service vehicles, most noticeably the pushback truck.”
Paul adds to this, “Gibraltar is a very nice piece of eye candy that makes a challenging airport accessible to X-Plane virtual pilots. It will be interesting, over time, to see how well “The Rock” interacts with the X-Plane weather model to create the challenging types of approaches LXGB is noted for. While practising those approaches, the virtual pilot can enjoy the detailed and well-constructed airport facility and perhaps even take a ride up the active gondola between flights. Overall, Gibraltar falls into the recommended category of X-Plane add-ons.”
