Review : RFscenerybuilding – KTUL Tulsa Intl P3D v5/v4

Review by Nadeem Z

Airport Overview

RFSB (Russian Federation Scenery Building) has released their rendition of Tulsa International
Airport (KTUL) for P3D after their MSFS release a few months ago, bringing this often-overlooked regional airport in Oklahoma, USA, into the simulator world with high end details. KTUL serves as a key hub for domestic travel, with major US carriers such as American Airlines, Southwest, Delta, and United offering direct connections to cities like Dallas, Atlanta, Denver, Houston, and Chicago.It is also home to American Airlines’ largest Maintenance and Engineering Base, making it a vital facility for aircraft maintenance in the U.S. The airport features three runways and modern terminal facilities, supporting a healthy mix of commercial, cargo, and general aviation traffic.

While not an international hub, KTUL continues to grow, with ongoing infrastructure
improvements aimed at expanding its domestic reach. RFSB’s rendition captures the airport with
custom terminal modeling, realistic ground textures, and immersive lighting—making KTUL a
valuable and long-overdue addition to the simulator’s U.S. regional airport offerings.

Airport Features

The RFSB product offers amazing features which take advantage of the latest P3D technologies
such as Custom airport building and some in the surrounding area, Custom platform and custom
vehicles, Custom lighting runway, 3D light mast lighting and lights on taxiing, Glass effect windows of buildings airport and vehicles, Road traffic, included Large landclass, Colors landclass
made for the color gamut FTX ORBX GLOBAL World textures and last but not least, the infamous
Dynamic lighting.

An advantage to this product is also that it works seamlessly with any Autogen or Mesh product
for the area such as FC Scenery Oklahoma v2 which is also available for P3D and gives the Airport
a unique feel of the one close products and real life feeling with buildings and updated Autogen.
All that needs to be done is placing RFSB ’s KTUL scenery above any third-party mesh or Autogen
addon in your scenery library config or via the XML method.

Modelling and Texturing

After carefully examining the terminal and its features, RFSB have used high quality textures and
have modelled all the major airport buildings including the Tulsa Air National Guard Base. In
addition, they have also included the American Airlines Global Maintenance headquarters
buildings which makes the airport constantly hosting larger aircrafts such as the B787, B777 and
others from the American Airlines fleet Without a doubt, the modelling is of high quality, the details included near the main terminal and remote stands such as the custom lighting system and 3D Taxiway signs and surrounding airport photoreal addition which shows that RFSB have put a lot of effort and work into the product and its features.

RFSB have also included a variety of ground vehicles which flawlessly go along with any ground
addon such as GSX.

Another important item which RFSB have included is the PAPI light system which is also an
amazing feature to have with its full functionality. The runway and taxiway details are also
fantastic.

Final Feedback

For Anyone who is looking to fly into KTUL Tulsa International Airport in P3D. I would recommend RFSB version as they have put extensive effort into their version whilst including all the major and important P3D features such as PBR, custom runway lighting system and Dynamic Lighting at the terminals. It is still great to see such developers still supporting P3D and I look forward to the next update the RFSB will push out and hope that they will be able to develop additional similar airports in this part of the world and similar airports in the USA. Job well done to the RFSB team! Highly Recommended.
