Hartford, Connecticut gets a sharper, more recognizable cityscape with custom downtown building placement, key landmarks, and surrounding landscape touches that improve low-level VFR navigation and approaches in Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

Experience a precise enhancement of Hartford, Connecticut, meticulously crafted for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. This freeware mod, developed by Richard Kittredege, introduces an enriched urban setting and surrounding landscapes that bring a greater sense of place to the simulator’s environment.

Thoroughly Modeled Cityscape

This add-on provides a focused recreation of Hartford, known widely for its historical architecture and its role as a significant financial hub. You will notice custom building placements, detailed downtown areas, and carefully arranged objects that align with the city’s real-world layout. By integrating these visual details, the scenery offers an improved sense of realism while flying low-level approaches to local airfields.

Enhanced Terrain Coverage

To ensure all the included objects align accurately with the in-sim geography, the creator strongly recommends using the UT-FSX_Usa package from Flight1. This recommended terrain utility refines coastlines, roads, and landclass data, which boosts the immersion and allows for smoother transitions between urban, suburban, and rural regions throughout Connecticut. Though the Flight1 Instant Scenery tool was used to construct this scenery, it is not required on your system to enjoy the final result.

Streamlined Installation

To install, place the HartfordCT.bgl file into the “Addon Scenery/Scenery” directory within your main simulator folder. The file structure is intentionally kept simple to make setup hassle-free. Once the file is in place, load Microsoft Flight Simulator X and activate the Hartford scenery in your library if necessary.

Key Notes for Enthusiasts

  • Covers significant landmarks and downtown Hartford areas for improved flight immersion.
  • Utilizes custom placements to match the city’s real-world layout closely.
  • Optimized for compatibility with UT-FSX_Usa for accurate coastlines and landclass data.
  • Created by Richard Kittredege using Instant Scenery from Flight1, which does not need to be installed by end users.

This mod serves as a solid upgrade for anyone wishing to capture the essence of Hartford in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. From an in-depth downtown area to precise object placement, enjoy the distinct atmosphere of Connecticut’s capital city throughout your virtual flights.

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.
