Located just south of Ottawa, Ontario, Rideau Valley Air Park is a small general aviation hub best known as the home of the Rideau Valley Soaring gliding club. With its single 1,800-foot grass runway, the airfield primarily accommodates gliders and ultralight aircraft, making it a distinctive destination compared to larger regional airports in the area. Its quiet setting and recreational focus make it a popular spot for pilots who prefer a slower pace of flying.
NetDesign has now brought this Canadian airfield into Microsoft Flight Simulator with a detailed recreation of Rideau Valley Air Park. The scenery captures the look and atmosphere of the real-world site, including the recognizable red-and-white hangars that are a visual trademark of the airfield. The add-on includes hand-crafted ground textures that replace the default satellite imagery, enhancing the grass runway and surroundings for more accurate operations. Custom-built hangars, airfield structures, and static models of club aircraft contribute to the immersion, while high-resolution textures maintain clarity even at close range during walkarounds or external views.
For those interested in Canadian general aviation and glider operations, this release adds a unique and regionally significant field to the simulator’s growing network of smaller airports. You can find CPL3 Kars – Rideau Valley Air Park by NetDesign now ➡️ on Flightsim.to.
