Richmond International Airport

Enhance the virtual skies over Virginia with this freeware update bringing new scenery elements and corrected gate lettering to Richmond International Airport (KRIC). Created by developer Dusty Bizub, this add-on refines the terminal layout and helps align your in-simulator airport experience with the real-world facility, all within Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

Refined Terminal Structure and Gate Assignments

This package applies precise modifications to the airport’s passenger terminal. It includes accurately placed gates and carefully re-labeled markings for both gates and ground positions. By integrating these adjustments, pilots who frequent KRIC in the simulator will notice more authentic parking prompts and a consistent taxi pattern, enhancing immersion during both arrivals and departures. Notably, the real Richmond International Airport, located in Henrico County, regularly handles a variety of domestic flights, making these improvements helpful for virtual airline operations that replicate local schedules.
