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.

These small but impactful refinements help maintain proper runway usage and ground handling procedures, which is essential for simmers seeking realism. By correcting number and letter placements, users will find the upgraded environment aligns with official airport charts, facilitating smoother navigation under various weather conditions.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D scenery
  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

    Create a folder under FSX\Addon Scenery\ containing scenery and texture sub-folders.
  3. Activate in Scenery Library

    In FSX, go to Settings → Scenery Library → Add Area. Higher priority means it overrides lower entries for the same location.
  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
