Our Cincinnati scenery adds 50+ custom downtown buildings, six named Ohio River bridges, and high-poly models of Paycor Stadium, Great American Ballpark, and Great American Tower for MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024. The Cincinnati, Ohio city pack also includes a bridge-free file for RKBridgers users. This guide follows the riverfront, then moves closer to the stadiums and skyline details.
Why Cincinnati is rewarding from across the river
Cincinnati brings several signature subjects into one compact view: the river crossings, two sports venues, and the downtown towers behind them. The comparison makes the benefit tangible, with clearer ballpark signage, bridge structure, and the crown of Great American Tower. Moving from that wide view into the stadiums gives you a useful way to appreciate both the city composition and the close-up modeling.
Use the Ohio River as your starting viewpoint
A view across the river brings several of the pack’s main subjects together. The stadiums sit in front of the downtown skyline, while bridges give the wider composition recognizable shapes. Water and tree cleanup accompany the custom buildings and bridge models.
Six crossings are included: Roebling Suspension Bridge, Daniel Carter Beard Bridge, Brent Spence Bridge, Clay Wade Bailey Bridge, Taylor Southgate Bridge, and the Purple People Bridge. Pick a few to inspect individually rather than trying to include every crossing in one frame.
Cincinnati riverfront before and after
Use the paired riverfront views to inspect the ballpark frontage and the tower above it. The add-on view has distinct red ballpark signage and a clearly defined crown on Great American Tower. The bridge structure also reads more clearly at the left of the scene.
Give both stadiums their own close view
Great American Ballpark
The ballpark’s high-poly model is one of the pack’s detailed centerpiece assets. From an elevated view, look at the seating bowl, field, scoreboard structures, and the way the stadium opens toward the surrounding city. A lower camera angle can bring the red facade signage into the foreground with Great American Tower rising behind it.
Paycor Stadium
Paycor Stadium provides a different stadium shape and seating layout. The view below shows its open field, tiers of seating, and large structural elements around the bowl. A stadium-focused camera stop gives you time to examine these details instead of seeing only the outer roofline during a city flyover.
Look up from the riverfront to the towers
Great American Tower is also a high-poly model. Its distinctive crown is a useful subject for both a whole-building view and a tighter architectural composition. The city pack includes Carew Tower, Scripps Center, PNC Tower, and Fifth Third Center with accurate signage as well.
Night lighting provides another reason to revisit the skyline. Pick a riverfront viewpoint while the city is still visible in daylight, then return after dark to explore the illuminated signs, windows, and tower tops. This gives your night views a familiar frame of reference.
A suggested Cincinnati riverfront tour
- Begin across the Ohio River. Frame downtown, the riverfront stadiums, and a bridge together. Use the wider view to choose your closer sightseeing subjects.
- Explore the Roebling crossing. Give the bridge its own composition before moving along the riverfront. Follow with one of the other named crossings for a different structural subject.
- Stop at Paycor Stadium. Use an elevated camera to see the field and seating bowl, then widen the view to reconnect the stadium with the city.
- Move to Great American Ballpark and Great American Tower. Pair a stadium overview with a closer view of the tower’s crown.
- Return to the river after dark. Finish with the lit skyline and stadium frontage reflected against the darker water.
Choose the right bridge file
Cincinnati supports MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024. If you use RKBridgers, the included file without bridges is the relevant option to consider. Follow the package instructions when selecting the variant so you do not install overlapping versions of the same scenery.
For other city or bridge add-ons, compare their coverage before combining them with this pack. The bridge-free option is specifically provided for an RKBridgers setup.
