TaiModels has released its rendition of Gerald R. Ford International Airport (KGRR) in Grand Rapids, Michigan, for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The scenery is built for both MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024, with a native version for the newer simulator.
TaiModels says the ground markings and textures are hand-made PBR work based on the latest airport layout. The terminals, cargo buildings and other airport structures are likewise modelled by hand using MSFS PBR materials. The terminal interiors are described as detailed, and the scenery includes animated screens.
The developer also lists realistic airport lighting, taxiways and aprons, and a custom DEM (digital elevation model) so the terrain around the field matches the real surroundings. GSX profiles are included for those who use the ground services add-on.
Gerald R. Ford International serves Grand Rapids and the wider West Michigan region. It is the second-busiest airport in the state and connects business and leisure travellers with destinations across the United States. The airport is named after the former US president, who came from Grand Rapids. It has three runways, a passenger terminal, cargo facilities and general aviation areas, so the traffic runs from commercial airliners to private aircraft. The developer says this mix makes it an interesting destination for simmers exploring Michigan and the Great Lakes region.
TaiModels Grand Rapids Gerald R. Ford Airport is available for $20.79, or around €20, from the Contrail product page.
