Expert Overview

The Gainesville Regional Airport (KGNV) scenery mod for MSFS 2020 brings a highly detailed, custom-built environment that blends seamlessly with the simulator’s default runways and taxiways. From uniquely engineered 3D airport buildings to carefully placed vehicles and enhanced lighting around parking areas, every element combines to create the feeling of a living, breathing airport in Florida’s aviation scene.

Developed by LKPDesigns and tested personally in various scenarios, this add-on maintains impressive frame rates while delivering immersive touches like updated jetways, ponds around the property, and accurately positioned parked aircraft. In my longtime experience working with flight simulators, it stands out for its balance of realism and performance—making Gainesville an engaging departure point or touchdown destination for both casual pilots and veteran simmers alike.

How to install this mod

MSFS 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.
  2. Locate your MSFS Community folder

    All MSFS add-ons live in the Community folder. Microsoft Store / Game Pass version: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community\. Steam version: %APPDATA%\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community\. Tip: enable Developer Mode in MSFS to see your exact Community folder path.
  3. Copy the scenery package into Community

    Drag the extracted scenery folder into your Community folder. Photogrammetry and large mesh packs can be 1GB+ — ensure you have disk space.
  4. Restart MSFS

    Close MSFS completely and relaunch. The new content appears in the Content Manager, on the World Map, or in the aircraft/livery selector.
  5. 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.

    Nice! I would love for someone to re-model KSGJ and some St. Augustine landmarks. Gainesville is close to home!

    Always nice on the approach and then taxi if the buildings look real, and these do. A particular favorite for me is the car park lighting.
