Glideslope Pro Recommended Add-ons
Independent add-on recommendations for pilots who enjoy flying around MSFS photogrammetry areas. These picks focus on performance, night lighting, approach accuracy, scenery integration and overall immersion around major PG cities.
KLAS Harry Reid International v1.5.5 ★★★★★
Why I recommend it: For a long time, Las Vegas approaches meant choosing between technical problems, dated scenery or heavy performance. This MSFS 2024-native version gives KLAS accurate operations, excellent night atmosphere and the important Strip landmarks needed to make every arrival feel complete.
- Fixes the troublesome Runway 26L glideslope and elevation issues.
- Adds custom taxiway and apron lighting, interiors, ground equipment and GSX support.
- Includes major Strip landmarks such as Luxor, Mandalay Bay, Excalibur and the Sphere.
KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor v3.1.0 ★★★★★
Why I recommend it: Phoenix Sky Harbor becomes a proper desert hub with the scale and operational detail needed for busy Southwest and American Airlines-style flying. It feels modern, well integrated with the surrounding city and impressively balanced for such a large airport.
- Includes the animated PHX Sky Train crossing the airport environment.
- Represents newer terminal expansions, concourses and regional landscaping.
- Texture options and efficient optimisation help control VRAM and performance.
KMIA Miami International v2.1.0 ★★★★★
Why I recommend it: Miami can be demanding because the airport sits beside dense photogrammetry, water and a huge urban area. This version gives the Gateway to the Americas a cleaner, more detailed airport while remaining surprisingly manageable during complex approaches.
- Adds strong detail across the North and West cargo aprons.
- Uses custom sun-bleached ground textures and realistic runway wear.
- Includes the animated MIA Mover with performance-conscious LOD optimisation.
KIAD Washington Dulles v1.2.5 ★★★★★
Why I recommend it: Dulles is an architectural landmark in its own right, and this native MSFS 2024 scenery gives the airport the visual quality it deserves. The iconic terminal, unusual ground vehicles and museum detail make it much more than a standard hub.
- Hand-modelled main terminal, control tower and airport architecture.
- Includes the distinctive mobile lounges used around the ramps.
- Adds the nearby Udvar-Hazy Center while keeping performance well controlled.
KSFO San Francisco International v2.5.0 ★★★★★
Why I recommend it: San Francisco is one of the simulator’s heaviest areas, so KSFO needs scenery that looks excellent without overwhelming the system. This version balances airport detail, Bay Area integration and a far more believable night environment extremely well.
- Smoothly blends the airport, sea wall and San Francisco Bay.
- Includes updated terminal detail, interiors and custom apron floodlighting.
- Adds reflective markings, approach hardware and precision lead-in lighting.
KMEM Memphis International v2.1.0 ★★★★★
Why I recommend it: For cargo flying, Memphis is one of the most important airports in the world. This scenery gives the FedEx Superhub the scale, equipment and midnight atmosphere it needs, while remaining far smoother than such a large cargo environment might suggest.
- Adds detailed FedEx and UPS facilities, containers and cargo equipment.
- Dynamic floodlighting and stable ILS guidance improve night operations.
- Strong PBR textures, accurate cargo pads and GSX-friendly layouts add realism.
KCAE Columbia Metropolitan v1.0.0 ★★★★★
Why I recommend it: Columbia is easy to overlook, but it becomes a very useful regional and cargo destination once upgraded. The scenery adds enough terminal, ramp and local detail to give short-haul routes real character without putting unnecessary pressure on the system.
- Includes the UPS Southeast Hub with cargo equipment and ramp detail.
- Adds a detailed passenger terminal, interior and modelled control tower.
- Regional vegetation and landside treatment help the airport fit South Carolina.
KOAK Oakland International Airport v1.2.1 ★★★★★
Why I recommend it: Oakland is an excellent alternative to KSFO and works equally well for passenger, cargo and regional flying. This version gives the airport a more accurate operational layout while fitting naturally beside the demanding Bay Area photogrammetry.
- Improves FedEx and UPS cargo areas with handcrafted facilities.
- Fixes elevation and floating-building problems from earlier scenery versions.
- Includes BART station detail, animated trains and performance-conscious optimisation.
