In a post on their Facebook page, Pacific Islands Simulation (or PacSim for short), announced the release of version 2.0 for their Reno-Tahoe Intl (KRNO) airport addon for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
This update will make several key changes to the Nevada airport including adjusting the runways to the new 35L/R, 17L/R, and 08-26 designations. Additional tweaks include changes to heights, textures, taxiway lines, and more to bring this airport closer to the real deal.
In addition to the above-mentioned tweaks, PacSim has added additional buildings including the Renown Hospital, Veteran’s Hospital, and Ramada Hotel. PacSim has also created custom animated jetways with box-numbered stands, wigwag lights to runway hold-short points, and 2 helipads in the airport’s GA and military areas. There are plenty of other updates that as a package will make for quite the overhaul to this airport offering. For a full update log, see below.
