iniBuilds has yesterday taken to their Forums to announce a new significant project. The team is currently working on one of the largest international hubs in the whole world, New York JFK International Airport (KJFK).
Named after one of the best-known presidents of the United States, JFK is the largest-serving international airport in New York. The airport’s history dates back to 1948 and it has been renamed JFK as a tribute in 1963.
There is just enough destinations to choose from if you are flying to or from the Big Apple’s JFK. The largest operators of this airport are Delta Airlines, JetBlue and American. All of those offer both short-haul and long-haul flights to Europe, Asia, Africa, South America and even Australia.
Speaking of virtual aviation operations, it is a popular destination for those looking for challenging flying on an online network. Namely, during events, such as the upcoming Cross the Pond, the airport gets really busy.
iniBuilds aims to bring a detailed rendition of this airport into the world of Microsoft Flight Simulator. According to the shared features list, there is going to be a hand-crafted ground polygon and crisp textures across the whole scenery and it is also going to feature an up-to-date airport layout. Furthermore, there are going to be custom static aeroplanes across the apron, 3D interior, custom-built jetways and much more.
