Gibraltar Professional

Gibraltar is a special place! It’s a bit of Great Britain on the Iberian peninsula with an amazing geography. When you look at the map you understand why Great Britain will be keeping hold of it.

Gibraltar Professional is a highly detailed VFR scenery of this enclave, including the airport and Upper Rock. The airport and its surroundings are built up to the smallest of detail. All buildings, lighting systems and navigation beacons have been modelled in great detail, including all buildings and airport institutions.

Before the Suez canal there was no other access to the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, and even today this is a strategic advantage of immense value. Approaching the airport from either side is a strange sensation, with the huge mountain (The Rock) and the runway stretching out into the sea. It's a great place to visit, both in the real world and in this remarkable rendering for P3D.

Gibraltar Airport has the distinction of being the closest airport to the city that it serves, being only 500m from Gibraltar's city centre! The main road intersects the airport runway, which consequently has to be closed every time a plane lands or departs.
