    Description

    Reid-Hillview Airport (KRHV / RHV) is a small General Aviation airport located in San Jose, CA, the heart of Silicon Valley. Featuring two parallel 3100ft runways, it is classified as a reliever airport for San Jose Intl.

    departures and approaches dont work when the scenery is installed... the default garmin GPS doesn't show the procedures but shows up when the scenery is disabled

    Great small airport! It's just a couple of miles from where I live. But it seems not fully compatible with MSFS 2024 CU13. Can you make an update on it. Thanks in advance.

    Thank you for this wonderful mod...! It adds so much to the realism and enjoyment of flying from this great little airport. I like to take off from here and practice doing ILS Approaches at nearby KSFO.

    Amazing scenery! I train out of here! KRHV is going through some big changes! 31R is currently closed, and there's a new runup area on M, N, O, and P hangar rows, if you are at all interested in updating this scenery, I can help with reference photos, if needed :)

    I second that. KRHV has a different taxiway schema at Runway 31R, and a new run-up area has been introduced. I'm not sure how I can help here, but it would be great if we could update the KRHV scenery.

    Hello, with this scenery installed the SID departure, STAR arrival, and RNAV 13L and 31R approaches are missing from the airport and cannot be selected from the aircraft's fms, can you please double check and make sure there are no files overriding the default navdata? Thank you.

    All 3 RNAV approaches are custom and were accurate to real world at the time of creation, so that it can help my real-world students who wish to fly approaches at RHV in MSFS. Selecting and flying the approaches from default Asobo Light GA aircraft have no issues on my end, apologies if it conflicts with any third party software.


    There are no SIDs at KRHV. If you wish to simulate a departure, I suggest the procedure controllers at Reid often assign (Left 290 degrees after departure, vectors for SJC VOR and then on course).

    after upgrading my system, this scenery is amazing. Near true to life. I did some training at Nice Air, I can't believe you put the actual buildings in there. This is a fantastic scenery. Thank you. With a few "Next Gen" tweaks, this scenery could easily be a payware.

    Very nice scenery. I did a lot of flying out of here during training.

    Any way to cull trees on the grass between taxiways? and can you offer a version of the airport without static traffic?

    The performance is OK, not great. Otherwise nice scenery. Brings back memories.

    Amazing! Thanks for this and SJC the're awesome! One quick question: Can't seem to get vertical guidance enabled on the RNAV/LPV approaches. Is there any way to fix this?

    EDIT: Seemed like a problem with the steam gauge C172, it works fine with the G1000 variant. I'm assuming this is an asobo problem lol

    When I fly IRL the steam gauge 172s cant fly the LPV; they have to fly the LNAV because they don't have WAAS. The G1000s have WAAS. No idea if Asobo modeled it but that could totally be why

    Yeah definitely seems like an asobo problem. The 172 I fly IRL whenever I'm maintaining instrument currency has a GNS 530W that's WAAS capable so I usually just shoot the LPV on the way in. Hmm I wonder if there's a way to edit the CDI gauge to add that functionality?
