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 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
