The ap_KJFK 31 22.bgl will close T6 and activate the cross wind runways? What about the other file provided in this upload and what do I do with the original file you uploaded on the other post a few weeks (or months) ago?

The original file (called ap_KJFK) should be removed from the fsdreamteam/JFK/scenery folder and then backed up just in case you want it again.
The other file included (ap_KJFK 13-4) is if you would like to accurately portray the airport with easterly winds. The ap_KJFK 31-22 is meant to accurately portray the airport with westerly winds but as hombrexp mentions in his post, if you do not want to constantly have to change the AFCAD because of winds, just keep ap_KJFK 31-22 in the scenery folder for JFK and it will do a sufficient job with either wind directions.
Hope this helps,
Regards

What a coincidence that theshack440 was asking about the Delta Express spots near the Delta Terminal, after hearing about the real life incident involving an Air France A380 with a Comair CRJ. I wonder if I should go into my AFCAD and move one of the Delta Express parking spots closer to the adjacent taxiway to runway 31L to simulate a similar encounter in FSX? LOL!
This is so funny, one of the improvements in my new afcad was assigning the Air France A380 to terminal 1 at gate A5, which it just barely manages to fit in FSX. It's hard to believe this is where it parks in real life, and judging by the incident, it appears Kennedy Intl offers very little margin for error for taxing this behemoth. It's always nice to compare our little virtual world to reality, when I saw the video of the incident I instantly recalled the freaky AI behavior of FSX, with AI planes often taxing through me even if I have the right of way. Sometimes, you can realize Flight Simulator is really as "real as it gets".

Hahahah yeah that would be very funny to watch it play out just like the real thing but within fsx. You should make a video showing it happen. :D
(although I hope it never does happen again in real life; thank god no one was injured)

That is so true about A5. I hear that they have 4 gates equipped for it and they are all super tight squeezes (not surprisingly lol). But yeah fsx definitely shows ai through a realistic lens, especially when it comes to taxiing through other airplanes lol!

It was stated:
"- Closed Terminal 6 to Jetblue traffic, as this terminal is being demolished to allow a newer terminal to be replace it."
What file closes all traffic to T6 so that my AI traffic does not show up there and ATC does not put any jetBlue traffic there?

Any of the two files included in the provided download at the top of this page will do that.
