{{usr|Legoboyvdlp}} has been working with [[WorldEditor]] to create several new airports for [[Project Venezuela]]. Simón Bolívar International Airport (SVMI) now features animated jetways for most gates, and Charallave Airport (SVCS) now has shared models (which are also in TerraSync). | |||

Some new Peruvian airports have been added to FlightGear. [[Chagual Airport]] (SPGL), [[Gochapita Airfield]] (SPGC), and [[Pias Airport]] (SPIS) are all tricky airports to land at because of their altitude and mountainous locations. See [[Chagual Airport#Scenery|Chagual Airport § Scenery]] for details on how to obtain the scenery. | |||
