Scenery Description:
BluePrint Simulations’ KIAD scenery depicts the
Washington-Dulles International Airport as it exists
today. We did, however, take the liberty to clean
up some of the construction debris associated with the
ongoing Dulles redevelopment project known as D2.
Some of those improvements include the new north-south
runway, the concourse B expansion, and the AeroTrain
stations located at the main terminal and at concourse
B*. All other major buildings within the airport
boundaries, including the current, expanded Terminal
building, the new Z gates, the brand new tower,
and the midfield concourses A, B, C and D have been
portrayed accurately. Special attention has been
paid to the precise location of gates and parking spots. The field layout has been modified to
accurately represent the real airport including
runways, taxiways, aprons and signage.
As a bonus, the Steven Udvar-Hazy Smithsonian National
Air and Space Museum has been modeled in detail.
This magnificent structure is clearly visible during
approach to runway 01R.

What
is new in the FSX version of
KIAD? The Gmax models
included in the FSX version were
built from the ground up using
tools provided by Microsoft
specifically for FSX model
design. The most
noticeable new feature is the
implementation of reflective
textures in scenery models.
Another noticeable
improvement relates to the
rendering of transparent and
semi-transparent textures.
As a result we have been able to
showcase the remarkable
architecture of the main
terminal building including the
spectacular curved glass
windows.
And, for the majority of you
that still prefer FS2004, we
guarantee that you will not be
disappointed.

Some artistic liberty was taken in the rendering of the
still unfinished AeroTrain Stations. The models
will be updated and made available for download when
more detailed information regarding the architectural
features of those structures becomes public knowledge.
If you have such information, i.e. pictures or artistic
renderings of the external architectural features of the
stations, please do not hesitate to exchange them for a
free copy of the scenery. Only the individual
providing the first set of accurate pictures or artistic
rendering will receive a free copy of the scenery in
