Roma-Ciampino X Scenery for FSX/P3D
For many, Rome is the jewel of Italian culture, class, and quality. However, despite its importance as one of the major European cities, FSX and P3D do a poor job of representing the region. Roma-Ciampino X, then, offers a fine alternative to this problem. Read more...

With over 1GB of high-quality artistry and detail added into this package, you can find that this tremendous take on the city of Rome including its airport really transforms the city. Not only that, but it turns the Giovan Battista Pastine into the major airport that it should be portrayed as. Having been built in 1916, it’s today one of the oldest airports still in use across the world. Now, it’s added into FSX and P3D in all of its resplendent quality.
So, too, is the immense attention to detail that has gone into making the airport, its industrial areas and the town of Ciampino come to life. With high-quality meshing and seasonal variants for all areas added with Roma-Ciampino X, this helps to add an extra layer of character to this all-important part of Italy. New 3D objects made from scratch come to life with impressive ambient occlusion. SODE design helps to bring the whole region to life, too, with new rain and lighting effects adding immense detail to the area.
3D approach lights and other minor details all combine with majorly improved textures and scaling. The end result is a truly remarkable take on the capital of Italy’ airport as well as major surrounding areas and locations.
Once a major hub for Italian ships, the military airport near Ciampino slowly changed into something else. The first airport of Rome, it was a major part of the government and civil transportation until its closure during the Second World War, maintaining its position as a military air base instead. In 1961, the Fiumicino Airport opened meaning that this small airport became a starting point for low-cost air carriers, as well as minor military and government usage.
Key Features

- Customized meshing and autogen mixed with new and improved textures to help bring Roma-Ciampino to a whole new level of immersion.
- The town itself is also fully recreated, with autogen and specific new textures to help populate a part of the city that felt scarce and empty beforehand.
- New industrial works are included, too, with various features helping to show the busy nature of Roman industrial detail today.
