Orbx have taken to social media to introduce, and preview, San Jose International Airport (KSJC), which is coming soon to Microsoft Flight Simulator.
To bring the airport to life, the developers have used what they call ‘stunning’ dynamic lighting and advanced PBR materials, that make use of the new simulators graphic capabilities. The main terminal buildings are realistic, whatever perspective they are viewed at.
Other features include enhanced groundpoly that looks weathered, custom PBR ground support equipment and static aircraft, and POI’s found in the airport’s vicinity. Everything is modelled exquisitely, according to Orbx.
San Jose Airport, is also known as the Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport, named after a former Transport Secretary during George W Bush’s presidency. It is located in San Jose, the largest city in the San Francisco Bay area. It has two main terminals, housing 37 gates between them. There was a third terminal, but that was demolished in 2009.
No price or release date has been made known.
