Announced on their blog, Aerosoft has released their much-anticipated Airport Genoa “Cristoforo Colombo” add-on scenery for X-Plane 11 developed by Gayasim in collaboration with Stairport Sceneries.
Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport is built on an artificial peninsula 4 nautical miles west of Genoa, Italy.
