KJFK For MSFS
« on: May 26, 2022, 06:26:40 pm »
So, I did search first as a I was sure this must've come up at some point, but I haven't found anything..

Is there a new KJFK in the works for MSFS? Hope so..!

Thanks!

Right now is not planned, we have several big sceneries coming out that are already planned, roughly in release order:

- KIAH

- KMEM

- PHNL

Those are all large airports with a fairly bad (not handcrafted) default scenery, while KJFK is handcrafted even in the Standard version, so it's less important at this time.

I completely understand your strategy and fully support it, but just as an FYI, the "hand-crafted" KJFK (as well as Asobo's other first and second generation bespoke versions) is garbage.  The only advantage over Asobo default airports is that it looks more like KJFK.  When landing, I am assigned a gate that does not exist IRL.  This makes the airport one I will not use until it's either updated by Asobo or a third party version arrives.

KDFW isn't much better, but at least the gates seem to be accurate (it was a second generation Asobo bespoke like KATL which is actually OK).  That's one I'm sad that is not on your list anymore (as my name might imply), but again, I'm happy with what you're doing and cannot WAIT for KIAH (my current home town)!
