La Palma X
Aerosoft GmbH 2015
Compatibility
The Scenery La Palma is compatible with FS Global 2010 and
Ultimate (Africa), the Canary mesh from Airhispana (a virtual
freeware airline). If you use this Mesh you should only use the file
„Malla_ Canarias:MDT5.bgl“, without the other data.
FSX, La Palma and the DX10 Preview
If you are running FSX under VISTA, Windows 7, Windows 8 and have
a DX10-capable graphic card, you have the possibility to activate the
so called “DX10 Preview” mode. As the name suggests, this mode is
only a preview of what could be possible with DX10 and the flight
simulator, if DX10 were a finished product. At the moment there is no
documentation on this mode for add-on developers and it has a large
number of limitations that make it impossible to create scenery such as
La Palma X with the same quality as DX9 offers.
Prepar 3D V2.5
To ensure compatibility to Prepar3D V2.5 please load a situation under
My Flights, for example „La Palma Parkingpos1“. When starting from a
situation file the aircraft will not sink into the ground.
La Palma
La Palma (La Isla de San Miguel de La Palma) is the most westerly of
all the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean and is part of the province
Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The capital is Santa Cruz de La Palma with the
biggest town Los Llanos de Ariadne. La Palma is one of the youngest
islands of the Canaries from a geological point of view where craters
and lava streams can still be seen along the volcanic route on the
Cumbre Vieja. Compared to the other Canary islands it is very green
with more than 40% being forests giving it the nick name Isla Verde.
As La Palma has been spared from mass tourism the island has preser-
ved its original character.

Airlines and destinations
Iberia offers daily connections from La Palma to Spains capital Madrid.
Binter Canarias connects La Palma with Tenerife and Gran Canaria.
Multiple weekly flights serviced by various European Airlines connect
the island with Germany, the UK, Belgium and the Netherlands.
La Palma Airport (IATA: SPC, ICAO: GCLA) is an airport located in
Breña Baja and Villa de Mazo, 8 km (5.0 mi) south of the city of Santa
Cruz de La Palma on La Palma in the Canary Islands.[1] It is operated
by Aeropuertos Españoles y Navegación Aérea, who operate the vast
majority of civil airports in Spain. The airport is served mainly by Binter
Canarias and CanaryFly with island-hopping flights from Tenerife and
Gran Canaria.
In 2014, the airport had 809,521 passengers in the 14,989 operations
handled. Cargo traffic totalled 549 tons.
New terminal
An ongoing construction project at the airport is nearing completion,
with a new building containing a modern passenger terminal. The
new terminal will have 25 check-in desks and 4 baggage carousels.
The terminal will also have 9 boarding gates, but only 6 will be opened
as the other three are still being worked on. Although the terminal
will have airbridges, these will still be worked on when the terminal
opens so the gates will still be accessed by foot. The new terminal is
also further back than the old terminal, meaning that apron space is
also maximized. There are still no plans to build a taxiway parallel to
the runway, so aircraft will still have to back taxi. The airport is also
building a brand new control tower.
