Runway Status Lights
Runway Status Lights are an essential FAA system embedded in the pavement of runways and taxiways, designed to automatically signal pilots and vehicle operators when it is unsafe to enter, cross, or begin takeoff. These lights, which are operational at 20 airports across the US, turn red in response to traffic, providing direct, immediate alerts without the need for input from controllers.
This modification simulates the FAA Runway Status Light System and includes Runway Entrance Lights ... Runway Status Lights are an essential FAA system embedded in the pavement of runways and taxiways, designed to automatically signal pilots and vehicle operators when it is unsafe to enter, cross, or begin takeoff. These lights, which are operational at 20 airports across the US, turn red in response to traffic, providing direct, immediate alerts without the need for input from controllers.
This modification simulates the FAA Runway Status Light System and includes Runway Entrance Lights and Takeoff Hold Lights. The lights will remain illuminated (indicating unsafe to enter the runway) until cleared for takeoff by the in-game ATC system, at which point the lights will extinguish (indicating safe to enter the runway).
This modification works with default and most 3rd party airports.

The scenery feature adjusted vegetation; and a completely rebuild new runway using realistic surface textures.
Custom objects are included to increase atmosphere along with stretched grasses view from runway to increase
immersion. Is a scenery that will challange your pilot skills especially in windy and rough conditions. The 2,875 foot asphalt runway makes the airport very popular. The 2650 foot field elevation combined with the surrounding terrain make summertime density altitude problems common. The gorgeous ridges and cliffs that provide such a spectacular view make Ranger Creek a good test of a pilot's mountain flying skills. It is not a place for the novice.
The valley is relatively narrow and narrows significantly both to the north and south. Just north of the airfield the valley
temporarily widens to the west, providing sufficient room for a gentle climbing turn. The camping areas are busy in the summer, and during the hunting seasons. Although heavily signed, the runway does get encroached on by pedestrians. Animals are common on the runway in the early morning and late evening. There are trees in both approaches. Turbulence and downdrafts are common over the river in the approach to runway 33. Overflight to check runway conditions, look for obstructions, and to make people on the ground aware of your presence is essential. Ranger Creek is generally open from June 1 to October 1.

KDC1 1935 Hoover Airfield
RWG 1935 KDCA WASHINGTON - HOOVERFIELD (KDC1)
Considered one of the most hazardous airfields in the United States, Hoover Field suffered from short and unpaved runways, numerous life-threatening obstructions around the field, poor visibility (due to a burning garbage dump to its northwest), and poor drainage.
It was purchased by the owner of nearby Washington Airport in early 1929, causing a brief merger of the two fields.

If you own this product you can get a free copy of the new MSFS2024 native version which is not compatible with MSFS2020.
This package will make a stunning difference to your flights around New York City. It includes 31 New York City bridges with POIs on the Hudson River, the East River, the Harlem River and Jamaica Bay beside JFK airport.
If Necessary use the Package Reorder tool and give the rkbridger package higher priority so that it is listed below other sceneries to eliminate conflicts.
Each bridge is individually modeled with accurate dimensions, and provides a very realistic representation of its style and architecture. Many of the bridges were built in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s and have an ornate and complex iron girder structure as opposed to more modern bridges which are built in a much more minimalist fashion. Both styles have their beauty and many of the these bridges are architectural masterpieces. This makes the rendering of the bridges in all their glory so important for flight simulation. You get a much more immersive and realistic flight as well as the joy of the beauty of the bridges. You will be able to fly under any bridge.
All bridges have realistic night lighting so these landmarks can be seen easily when flying around New York at night.
Asobo has modeled the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge near the Statue of Liberty and these are not included in this package.
Photogrammetry ON.
The bridges on each river or bay from South to North are as follows:

Horten IX / Ho 229
The Horten Ho 229 was a German prototype fighter/bomber that was designed by Reimar and Walter Horten during World War II. It was one of the first flying wing aircraft to be powered by jet engines, and had several remarkable features, such as: It was very fast and agile, capable of reaching speeds of up to 977 km/h (607 mph) and performing tight turns and rolls. It could also fly at high altitudes, up to 15,000 m (49,000 ft), making it difficult to intercept by allied fighters.

It was one of the first flying wing aircraft to be powered by jet engines, and had several remarkable features, such as: It was very fast and agile, capable of reaching speeds of up to 977 km/h (607 mph) and performing tight turns and rolls. It could also fly at high altitudes, up to 15,000 m (49,000 ft), making it difficult to intercept by allied fighters.
It was very stealthy, due to its low radar cross-section and its use of a special wood-based material called "charcoal mixture" that absorbed radar waves. It was estimated that the Ho 229 would have been invisible to radar at distances greater than 80% of its range.
It was very advanced, incorporating features such as an ejection seat, a pressurized cockpit, a tricycle landing gear. It also had a sophisticated weapons system, consisting of two 30 mm cannons and two 500 kg (1,100 lb) bombs.
The Ho 229 was the only design that came close to meeting the "3×1000" requirement issued by Hermann Göring, the head of the Luftwaffe, for a light bomber that could carry 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) of bombs over 1,000 km (620 mi) at 1,000 km/h (620 mph). However, the project faced many challenges and delays, such as the lack of suitable production facilities, the interference of rival companies, the shortage of materials and fuel, and the Allied bombing raids. Only three prototypes were built, and only one of them flew, before the project was captured by the American forces in 1945.
The Ho 229 was a remarkable aircraft that was ahead of its time, and may have influenced many later designs, such as the Northrop B-2 Spirit and the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk. It is considered by some to be the first true stealth aircraft in history. The only surviving prototype, the Ho 229 V3, is currently on display at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D. C
