Airport Overview

Horizon Sim’s, a P3D indie developer has recently released their latest rendition of Providence’s
T.F. Green International Airport (KPVD) for P3Dv4/v5. situated in Rhode Island on the East Coast
of the USA. This surprise release offers a realistic depiction of the airport, known for its
consistent service to major American cities such as Chicago, Washington, and New York. While
predominantly served by regional liners, occasional Airbus and Boeing jets also operate here,
making it a diverse destination for aviation enthusiasts.

Airport Features

Horizon Sim has delivered a well-crafted rendition of Providence Airport, capturing its essential
features. The scenery includes detailed models of the terminal buildings and airport landmarks.
If used in conjunction with ORBX addons, major local landmarks are further enhanced as seen in
the below screenshots. The custom 3D models and textures bring the airport to life. The
inclusion of Dynamic lighting adds realism, with illuminated terminal areas and basic runway
lighting for the main 05/23 runway enhancing the night-time experience.

Modeling and Texturing

The Providence Airport scenery is on the higher detailed modeling and texturing end. The
terminal buildings and aprons are crafted with decent precision, reflecting the airport’s unique
island location. Ground markings, runway textures, and surrounding terrain are represented
with high-quality textures, offering a visually appealing experience for P3D pilots. Key features
include an dynamic lighting environment, Airport Groundpoly, Compatible with Orbx openLC
North America or Global, Animated GSX Jetways and is decently FPS friendly. The scenery is
optimized for performance and visual quality, and is compatible with various add-ons, including
GSX.

Final Feedback

Providence Airport offers a delightful flying experience, particularly with the small Airbus fleet
and challenging weather conditions typical of the area. The textures and features create an
immersive environment, especially when paired with supporting addons like ORBX’s East Coast
USA North products. Implementing fixes to the AFCAD for better GSX compatibility would
further enhance the experience. Kudos to the Horizon Sim team for a decently exceptional
scenery addition to P3D. Looking forward to their possibly upcoming releases that maybe
released in the very near future.
