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. There are several Fixed Base Operators who provide aircraft rental and flight instruction, making the majority of flights to the airport training flights.
Here the airport has been created from scratch for MSFS and features custom ground textures and buildings, as well as dynamic lighting across the entire airport.
Installation instructions:Please unzip the file and move the "copilot8-krhv" folder into your MSFS Community folder.

This project first began on FSX, moved to P3D, and finally ended up on MSFS after multiple years since begining development. This was created by one person. As such, many many thanks go out to all of the forum users that helped me along the way, solving many of my problems and allowing this scenery to finally be completed. Please enjoy your flights to this airport!This scenery is 100% freeware.

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).

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.

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
