Flight sim fans, buckle in—FLY2HIGH has released an impressive rendition of Tulsa International Airport (KTUL) for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and the freshly launched 2024 version. Located just five miles northeast of downtown Tulsa, this add-on brings the civil‑military hub to life with stunning detail and accuracy.
Why This Add‑On Stands Out
-
Fully modeled terminal interior – Explore inside the terminal, not just the exterior façades (Orbx).
-
100+ custom objects – From localized signage to FAA ground installations, each detail has been handcrafted for realism (Orbx).
-
Custom jetways and lighting – Jet bridges, runway/taxiway lights, ILS components, and approach lighting systems have all been tailored to mirror reality (Orbx).
-
Enhanced taxiway signage – No generic labels here—everything uses real-world taxi names and placements (Orbx).
The Developer’s Vision
As Fly2High’s flagship release for 2025, KTUL reflects their growing dedication to regional realism—especially to simulate the unique Oklahoma atmosphere. The release is being hailed as a passion project, aiming to reflect community pride (Orbx).
Performance and Feedback (Heads-Up for Sim Users)
Some users report noticeable stuttering and performance degradation in the MSFS 2024 version—particularly around the airport area—while Flight Simulator 2020 runs smoothly (Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums). Fly2High has acknowledged this and stated that optimization updates are on the way (Facebook).

Final Word
If you're flying through the Great Plains or have a soft spot for American regional airports, this KTUL add-on delivers an authentic, fully immersive experience. Just keep an eye on upcoming patches to smooth out those 2024 performance quirks. For now, Tulsa is shining brighter than ever—both on the tarmac and in the skies.
