Queen Beatrix International Airport is located in Oranjestad, on the island of Aruba. The main destinations include flights to the USA, Trinidad and Tobago, Canada, parts of Europe and many Caribbean destinations. The airport is named after Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands.
Aruba's aviation history dates back more than 90 years; the air service network has become a critical and vital element for Aruba’s national economy.
In 1997 the last major expansion project for the airport, Beatrix 2000, began. The first phase of the project was completed and inaugurated on September 1, 1999. The Beatrix 2000 design included an expansion and renovation to the existing 1972 terminal; and included a new arrival immigration hall, baggage claim, 8 contact gates, a new concession area, and two separated check-in buildings for U.S. and non- U.S. bound flights.

This is a very nice Airport Scenery lots of detail in and Around the Airport and even has a port with Ships docked as well this is a must have love it well done to Tropicalsim Team on a great airport pack 5 stars from me ;):)
All in all a good scenery. OK, it also has quite some blurry ground textures around the airport (and also inside the airport), and the texturing of the terminals is ...well, let's say, not bad, but a bit simple and clean. In comparison to their Curacao, a bigger area around the airport seems to be covered, and that brings some more atmosphere to the scenery. I couldn't see any bugs so far - no texture flickering and no elevation problems. Given the excellent performance, I would say this is one of the better Caribbean airports, even if not "high-end".
TropicalSim continues to struggle with elevation issues on their airports. I have Orbx products, and one would think that their testing would have includes users with configs purchasing their products. So, I continue to struggle to get the right combination of BGLs disabled to see the entire airport. I have this now in P3D V4 and had it in V3. As in V3, the airport is modeled nicely, but even in V3 had to work out the elevation issues there as well. TropicalSim needs to take a page out of the book of FlyTampa, FlightBeam, FSDT and even UK2000 to have the install config tools adjust for user environments with or without the more common terrain installation addons.
Very detailed product. I have observed most of the buildings and other structure and they're almost done to a T. One thing I find is that at night, the airport lights seem to be washed out, which is the reason I didn't rate this a full 5 star.
Keep up the good work!
