OERK Riyadh King Khalid International Airport

Azrsim’s Riyadh King Khalid International Airport (V3) for MSFS is a major step forward, refining every aspect of the airport’s representation for an even more immersive experience. This update doesn’t just enhance details; it transforms the airport into a vibrant and lifelike hub, built with the highest level of realism.

One of the standout features of V3 is the attention to the airside area, now brimming with high-quality, fully modeled interiors that showcase the terminal’s intricate architecture. Every corner of the airport, from passenger lounges to service areas, is meticulously designed, making the experience of taxiing through or exploring the space feel remarkably authentic. The addition of a metro station further complements the transport hub's complexity, integrating seamlessly into the layout.

The famous military hangar has been revamped, while a new private aviation terminal introduces a luxurious new space that’s just as detailed as the main terminals. Car shades now dot the airport grounds, improving the realism of outdoor spaces and adding to the overall immersion. Inside the ATC tower, the detailed interior brings the control center to life, and the international terminals, along with the piers, are now fully modeled with intricate interiors, capturing the bustling atmosphere of one of the busiest airports in the region.

Custom jetways, including the new SNB models, enhance the boarding and deplaning process, while the custom apron lighting perfectly replicates the orange-ish glow of the real airport, especially noticeable at night when the airport takes on a beautiful, immersive glow.

However, it’s important to note that King Khalid International is a large-sized airport, and the incredible level of detail comes with a performance consideration. With a high number of vertices in the models, especially in the newly added features like the metro station, private terminal, and highly detailed interiors, it’s recommended not to underestimate its performance demands. While the update is all about quality, the size and complexity of the airport mean that users with lower-spec (anything bellow RTX4070/RTX3070) systems may need to adjust settings to maintain smooth performance.

This V3 update for Riyadh King Khalid International Airport is not just about adding more details—it’s about offering a richer, more immersive experience that captures the essence of this bustling Middle Eastern aviation hub. For anyone looking to experience a truly next-level airport simulation, this update is essential, but it’s also important to consider the performance demands due to the high-density models and textures that bring this airport to life.
