FeelThere has released their detailed rendition of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA) for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, and it’s everything a simmer could hope for. Situated just five miles from downtown Washington, D.C., KDCA is one of the most iconic and visually striking airports in the United States. Known for its proximity to national landmarks and the famously demanding River Visual approach, this airport delivers both beauty and challenge in one package.

FeelThere has captured the essence of DCA with remarkable attention to detail. The three runways and two main terminals are all represented with high-quality textures and accurate architecture. From the custom-modeled jetways to the realistic terminal interiors, every aspect has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the airport’s unique character.

This scenery isn’t just about looks. It’s optimized for performance while offering immersive features like animated trains, accurate taxiway signage, and detailed lighting for both day and night operations. The use of USGS satellite imagery adds an extra layer of realism to the airport’s surrounding area, including the Potomac River’s winding path just beyond the runways.

Whether you’re departing on a short hop or mastering the art of the River Visual approach to Runway 19, this version of KDCA provides a rich and engaging experience for sim pilots of all skill levels.

Key features include:

  • High-detail terminals and buildings with full PBR texturing

  • Modeled terminal interiors and animated train line

  • Satellite imagery coverage sourced from USGS

  • Accurate AFCAD layout with updated parking spots, signage, and services

  • Enhanced runway and taxiway lighting for immersive night operations

 

If you’re looking to expand your domestic hub collection in MSFS, FeelThere’s KDCA scenery is a must-have for your virtual hangar.
