The airport looks kind of gloomy. I don’t like it very much. The green photo on the apron doesn’t fit into the overall landscape.
I see very blurry apron textures here. Can this be fixed?
FB in update 1.1.1 did what BMW already had three months ago. Very slow work.
BMWorld version is fine by me. Works great.
Yeah, it’s just not nearly as good as this one, which is one of the best in the entire sim. BMWorld is inferior in every way and they were so lazy that they actually labelled areas as “under construction”!!!! Given that both are free here on SimPlaza (thanks, SimPlaza!), there is no good reason to download the inferior one.
I can confirm that this airport’s elevation is not correct. It’s strange that the most famous developer made such a blunder.
In terms of performance, both airports are absolutely identical. Flightbeam itself showed this in its screenshots. But the BMWorld is much more detailed and has clear apron textures. Someone already mentioned that FB made the airport at sea level and this should be fixed urgently. KSFO elevation – 13 feet. Flightbeam Jetways do not have yellow triangular signs with the parking number. I’m keeping the BMWorld version as it blends in better with the surrounding landscape, has the correct elevation, excellent night lighting and more details in secondary locations.
because it was rushed I’ve never seen an FB airport this bad in terms of everything..
its been proven time and time again, that people will buy any old rubbish so long as the muppet twitch streamers hype it. this community is fucked
compared to BMWORLD KSFO , perfomance wise this is best no stutter and high fps. Thanks simplaza.
amazing so quickly ~ my spec not high enough, it,s a good airport but my FPS is low (10-30)and not stable with stutter~
not sure who win the competitions of KSFO
It’s so badass
5800x+1060(6g-1080p)+32g+1TSSD V1.37.19.0
Need better GPU
Asobo wins it.
28L & 28R ILS not working? Can’t intercept it, anyone with such problem or only me?
I have this issue too 🙁
Yep, i see the ILS arrows in LNM for RW28L+R but they total at the wrong place – so yes like this it is not working.
U can use 19L instead.
Hopefully this gets fixed with the next update..
I believe the folder is missing the layout json
it’s in there, make sure to closely follow the FAQ for extracting files
Is there any chance SimPlaza can expand their “SimPlaza Recommended” category to include airports? Because this one surely should be in such a category!
maybe a separate category in the future, I want to keep this one for aircraft only
Thank you Mr. Plaza!
Powered by qBittorrent!
was really waiting for it, looks gorgeous and runs nice
i cant find the asobo ksfo to delete, as flightbeam will conflict with it. ive looked in content manager and there is no asobo ksfo
it’s a Premium Deluxe one, if you have the standard edition of MSFS and didn’t download the Asobo KSFO from here, you don’t have it.
Be sure to search and then change the view to itemized with the buttons in the top right. Otherwise it will show the whole premium package as a single item.
huge thank you simplaza, this is great
Not bad. The ground is kind greenish as all FB grounds, and don’t fit much with the surroundings. Some side buildings are more detailed here, others areas are better in the competitor. Frames are acceptable. But I totally dislike the dark blue color of the terminal, it killed it.
You can stick with the “Cost Guard” one if you don’t like this one
fixed. I also noticed there is no main terminal’s interior with the flightbeam version. Too bad
hey, is this the new captain’s edition?
yep (theres no other Flightbeam KSFO actually)
good performance or not ?
very good. way better than BWM
The airport looks good, but there are two big drawbacks that push it to second place. Too blurry low quality textures on the apron and incorrect mesh. It’s at sea level, which goes against the charts.
Thanks for the upload
Will buy it later this week to support the dev, if anyone he deserves it
Been waiting for this for almost four years. And it lives up to the hype, even on a RTX 2060/i7 (there’s something wrong with your PC if you have FPS issues with this, because I don’t).
Thanks as always, SimPlaza!
Big thanks MP, BIG THANKS !!!
Finally¡¡
Thank you!
Boom! The boss strikes again…thanks SimPlaza
