KDCA scenery for FSX?

Featured Replies

Hi all,I did a search but couldn't find anything, so apologies if this has been covered--is there any payware or freeware scenery for FSX that models Washington National? Given the unique river visual approach it seems like a shame if there isn't anything...Thanks,James

All I've ever heard about KDCA so far, is this scenery update by Ray Smith of the default airport, on FlightSim.com. Other than that, I've never heard anything else about third party sceneries for KDCA. Dave.

Hi James, you might want to try a version of KDCA by Kambiz Agazi, found in the library http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=kdca2009_ka.zip&CatID=fsx&Go=SearchLike Ray Smith, Kambiz invests quite a bit of time in providing up-to-date freeware airport scenery for FSX and does a very good job. Hope it works for you.

About 4 years passed, any news regarding this?

FS2004 has a great KDCA addon made by Cloud9.

Hello,

 

There is a payware version by Tropicalsim which, in fact, is quite good.

Tropicalsim is maybe less known but they produce fine scenery

This is one airport that I would like to see done again...especially for the river visual to 19...down the Potomac past the Georgetown riverfront, Roosevelt Island, Arlington, monuments and parks.

What do you mean you'd like to see it done again? What's wrong with the newest Tropical Sim version that requires another remake?

As the thread starter (4 long years ago!), I can mostly vouch for the Tropicalsim version. It's not bad (and infinitely better than default), although slightly rougher on frames than I'd like. Definitely the best thing out there.

I agree with James, Tropical Sim KDCA is pretty good especially when they have a sale at simmarket.  Yes, the frames are somewhat demanding compared to other paywware (IMO).

Looks like it's gone on sale.

Just, to me, it doesn't look like the same quality you'd see from FlightBeam or FlyTampa.  I already balk at buying an airport in isolation in a lot of cases.  If I do buy one there's, generally, something pretty remarkable to it.

KDCA is on sale at SimMarket right now for EURO 11.70.  I also recommend TROPICALSIM's KSTL, KEYW & KSAN also on sale.
