Recife has about 1.5 million inhabitants, the 3rd largest city in the Brazilian northeast and 9th largest in the entire country. The airport is located at about 11 km from the city center, 2 km from the famous Boa Viagem beach, and 5 km from Piedade beach in Jaboatão.

I really liked the scenery, I've been wanting a scenery like this for Recife for a long time. But I have a few things to say that I didn't like, like the lighting of the buildings and skyscrapers at night and the lighting inside the terminal where only one photo is repeated. Otherwise it's incredible, thank you very much for the scenery, you did a sensational job :D
I also want to report the jetways, they are well outside the planes' mapping.
Very good scenery at a very low cost! Considering you get not only the airport, but a great representation of the Recife area is well worth the purchase!
