FSX Truckee-Tahoe Airport Scenery

Experience a carefully refined rendition of Truckee–Tahoe Airport (KTRK) in Northern California. This freeware enhancement, created by Phillip Coyle, upgrades runways, taxiways, and on-site structures by leveraging satellite-based references and default objects. It aims to capture the distinctive high-altitude environment near Lake Tahoe within Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

High-Desert Field Characteristics

Positioned in the scenic Sierra Nevada region, Truckee–Tahoe Airport stands at an elevation exceeding 5,900 feet above mean sea level. Pilots using this add-on can anticipate a faithful layout that includes accurately configured taxiways and runway markings. The default Flight Simulator X scenery libraries are employed to integrate authentic structures and objects, such as airport facilities, hangars, and terminal areas. By referencing Google Earth data, the add-on aligns closely with real-world geography.
