AFCAD File For KRDD

Enhance your flights in Northern California with this free AFCAD file designed by Clear Sky Simulations for Redding Municipal Airport (KRDD). Situated in Shasta County, this key aviation facility accommodates both commercial and general aviation traffic, making it a strategic stopover for those exploring local terrain in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. This package refines aircraft parking arrangements, runway placements, and taxiway routing, ensuring a more immersive experience during arrivals and departures. Additionally, the scenery aligns with key default library objects to maintain visual consistency.

Focused Upgrades for KRDD

Redding Municipal Airport offers a notable runway configuration, with ample space to handle varied aircraft sizes. Clear Sky Simulations has capitalized on its potential by modifying the Airport Design Editor files for accurate gate assignments, optimized approach paths, and realistic ground markings. Pilots will find it easier to navigate the field, while still benefiting from default scenery libraries. To see the complete array of buildings and static details, configure your scenery settings at Normal or higher.

Technical Adjustments and BGL Highlights

The heart of this enhancement lies in two BGL files (KRDD_CSS.BGL and KRDD_CSS_CVX.BGL), which rework essential airport data. Compiled via Airport Design Editor, these files refine everything from taxiway widths to ramp designations. By incorporating additional vegetation elements and structural objects drawn from the default libraries, Clear Sky Simulations ensures a cohesive environment that smoothly blends with other scenery objects in Microsoft Flight Simulator X.
