NEWS! - FunnerFlight upgrades KJFK - New York John F Kennedy International v3 X-Plane 12

 

UPDATE News! KJFK v3 Funner header.jpg

 

FunnerFlight have upgraded their extensive KJFK - John Kennedy International to v3 and X-Plane 12. The older X-Plane 11 version of FunnerFlight's JFK is still available and is currently on sale for US$13.97

 

The KJFK v3 upgrade includes a load of changes and new features are included in the package...

 

  • Complete realignment of airport with added Aerial Photography
  • Deletion of hundreds of unnecessary objects for better FPS.
  • Added Laminar Research roads for a busier look
  • Added Laminar Research Ground Service vehicles and routes
  • Almost 20,000 objects.
  • Old Terminal 3 demolition area.
  • Terminal 4 Extension on Concourse B
  • New XP12 Auto Jetways at every ramp (shift+g)
  • Improved lighting.
  • And most importantly: TRAFFIC GLOBAL TESTED AND READY!
  • Tested Wind Rules and separate runways for Arrivals and Departures

 

Notable is the refining of better FrameRate, important in this very complex and high density autogen area. Current JFK changes around the old Terminal 3 (old PanAm Worldport) and the new Terminal 4 extension are also both included here.

John F. Kennedy International Airport is a major international airport serving New York City, United States. The airport is the busiest of the seven airports in the New York airport system, the 6th-busiest airport in the United States, and the busiest international air passenger gateway into North America. The facility covers 5,200 acres (2,104 ha) and is the largest and busiest airport in the New York City area.

 

John F. Kennedy International Airport was originally called Idlewild Airport after the Idlewild Beach Golf Course that it displaced. It was built to relieve LaGuardia Field, which had since become overcrowded after its 1939 opening.  In late 1941, mayor Fiorello La Guardia announced that the city had tentatively chosen a large area of marshland on Jamaica Bay, which included the Idlewild Golf Course as well as a summer hotel and a landing strip called the Jamaica Sea-Airport, for a new airfield. Later renamed John F. Kennedy International Airport on December 24, 1963, a month and two days after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy; Mayor Robert F. Wagner Jr. proposed the airport's renaming. Since then then it always been known as JFK.

 

I would recommend a strong video card with at least 8Gb of VRAM for this scenery, you can run a 4 GB Video Card as a minimum, but there are a lot of objects to absorb (15,000), and some very large graphic textures.
 

The FunnerFlight v3.0 KJFK is now available from the X-Plane.OrgStore, but for X-Plane 12 only.
