Belo Horizonte / Confins - Tancredo Neves International Airport (IATA: CNF, ICAO: SBCF), formerly called Confins International Airport is the primary international airport serving Belo Horizonte. Since 2 September 1986 the airport is named after Tancredo de Almeida Neves (1910–1985), President-elect of Brazil. It is located in the municipality of Confins, in the Minas Gerais. It is operated by BH Airport S. A.
History The airport was built by Infraero and inaugurated in 1984. Its purpose was to lessen the congestion at Pampulha Airport, which at the time was operating at 120% of its capacity of 1. 3 million passengers per year. It was expected that by 1990, passenger movement at Confins would be nearly 2 million passengers per year. However, it surpassed the 1 million passenger mark only 22 years later. Presently its maximum operational capacity is 22 million passengers per year.
After its inauguration, just a small fraction of the capacity of Confins was used. This was partly due to its distance from downtown Belo Horizonte and, until recently, to the lack of satisfactory transportation alternatives for the pricey (about US $ 40) taxi rides. The over-crowded Pampulha Airport remained the airport of choice.
Airport exterior In order to revert this scenario, in March 2005 the government of the state of Minas Gerais with the support of agencies of the Federal government decided to restrict Pampulha to operations of aircraft with capacity of up to 50 passengers. In the months thereafter, most operations were forced to move to Confins and the airport gained a new momentum. At that time, 130 flights were transferred from Pampulha to Confins, increasing annual passenger flow from 350,000 to around 3. 0 million that year.
The problems related to the distance of Confins to downtown Belo Horizonte were lessened by recent projects such as the improvement of the highway that links the city center to the airport (MG-10 highway), part of a larger project called Linha Verde (Green Line ), which seeks to reduce the time needed to reach the airport. Another project called the "Industrial Airport" is underway. In this project the government will exempt tax of businesses interested in settling their operations near the airport.
Its cargo facilities have a capacity of handling 18,000 tones (39,682,000 lb) and the warehouse has 6,400 m² (68,889 ft²).
The main maintenance facilities of Gol Airlines are located at this airport.
On 26 April 2011 it was confirmed that in order to speed-up much needed renovation and upgrade works, private companies would be granted a concession to explore some Infraero airports - among them, in a later phase, Confins. The plan was confirmed on 31 May 2011 and it was added that Infraero would retain 49% of the shares of each privatized airport and that negotiations were expected to be concluded in the first half of 2012.
On 22 November 2013 the Brazilian Government had a bidding process to determine the operator of the airport from 2014 until 2044. The group BH Airport formed by CCR (75%) and the administrator of Munich and Zurich Airports (25%) won the competition.
On 16 September 2015, all international operations were transferred to a new provisional terminal - Terminal 3 while domestic operations remained in Terminal 1.
The construction of Terminal 2 - an extension of Terminal 1 - started in September 2015 and finished in December 2016. It increased the airports capacity to 22 million passengers per year. On 8 December 2016 Terminal 2 was opened for domestic operations and in January 2017 international operations were transferred from Terminal 3. With the transfer of operations, Terminal 3 was closed.

Santos Dumont Airport (IATA: SDU, ICAO: SBRJ) is a domestic airport in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, one of the ten busiest in Brazil. It has a privileged location and is easily accessible right in the financial center of the city.

The main activity of the airport is on the Rio-São Paulo bridge, which transports passengers between Santos Dumont and Congonhas Airport in São Paulo, handling approximately 4 million passengers per year, which represents almost half of all the movement of the airport. airport. The second and third busiest routes are respectively to Brasília International Airport and Belo Horizonte-Confins International Airport, both of which carry more than 1 million passengers a year.
The airport complex is installed in an area of 833 thousand square meters, with two runways and landings with a capacity for 29 operations per hour, and two passenger terminals, one for departure and one for disembarkation. This structure offers the capacity to serve 9. 9 million passengers per year, according to Infraero.
Its name is a tribute to the Brazilian inventor Santos Dumont.

Cornwall Newquay Airport EGHQ (MSFS has it incorrectly listed as 'St Mawgan AB'), situated in the picturesque county of Cornwall, UK, is a vibrant hub of both commercial aviation and aerospace innovation. Nestled near the renowned coastal town of Newquay, the airport serves as the gateway to one of England's most beloved tourist destinations, providing convenient access to Cornwall's stunning beaches, rugged cliffs, and charming villages.
History: Cornwall Newquay Airport started as RAF St Mawgan EGDG, an airbase for the Royal Air Force during World War II. The airfield was primarily used for anti-submarine patrols and as a Coastal Command base. RAF St Mawgan continued to be an important base for maritime reconnaissance and search and rescue operations. The United States Navy used the base for anti-submarine warfare during the Cold War. The Air base was also home to classic British Nimrod during the 1980s,1990s and 2000s. In the 1980s saw the construction of the Hardened Aircraft Shelters (HAS) which were primarily used to house and protect the United States Air Force aircraft. Specifically F-111, these shelters were designed to safeguard the aircraft from potential Soviet attacks during the Cold War. In 2008 the airport was rebranded as Newquay Cornwall Airport and officially separated from RAF St Mawgan. Commercial operations were expanded, and investment was made to upgrade facilities to support increased passenger traffic. In 2019 Cornwall Airport Newquay was recognized as the fastest-growing airport in the UK in terms of passenger numbers, reflecting its increasing popularity. In 2021 The UK Space Agency announced that Cornwall Airport Newquay would be the site of Spaceport Cornwall, with plans for horizontal satellite launches in partnership with Virgin Orbit and in 2022 Spaceport Cornwall saw its first operational activities, marking a significant milestone in the airport's history and its role in the UK's space industry.
Today: The airport boasts modern facilities designed to cater to the needs of travellers and businesses alike. The terminal building offers a range of amenities, including retail outlets, dining options, and car rental services. Cornwall Newquay Airport offers a variety of flight services, including scheduled domestic and international flights, seasonal charters, and private aviation options. Key routes connect Cornwall with major UK cities such as London, Manchester, and Edinburgh, as well as popular holiday destinations in Europe. The airport is served by several airlines, including Ryanair, British Airways, and Loganair, providing travellers with a range of options for their journeys.

The Ohio River is the third largest river in the USA starting at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and flowing west to the Mississippi River. This package of 60 bridges covers the central section of 450 miles (725 km) between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, both of which have been covered in separate packages.
The Ohio River was a gateway to the west and allowed transportation of goods by barge from the east to the Mississippi and to New Orleans. River barges in the sim are mostly covered by water but this package brings them and the river to life. Dams were also created along the river to facilitate bigger and more regular traffic. These dams have also been uncovered in this package. Many of the bridges are very large, built in the early 1900’s and are still in use, but many have been demolished and replaced by more modern designs.
The MSFS scenery is a vast improvement over previous flight sims. However bridges over large waterways, rivers or other bodies of water are very noticeable and are an eyesore destroying realism. Rkbridger packages solve that issue with bridge packages which show the bridges in their true magnificence and also improves the entire landscape along the stretch of water modeled. All bridges are modeled in the correct architectural style with appropriate night lighting.
POIs have been placed at the bridges which are listed below.
Photogrammetry must be ON to ensure bridges integrate correctly with the sim.
Please note the US Grant Bridge was done by ASOBO
Models replacing default bridges are listed below:
