Administrators iniBuilds Posted March 29, 2023 Administrators Share Posted March 29, 2023 Hello everyone! From the title you can tell this is going to be a very exciting post!Welcome to New York! 🏙️🥳 We are super super excited to announce our next mega-hub: iniBuilds New York-JFK International Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator! New York-JFK is the main international airport serving New York City, and is the busiest international air passenger gateway to North America. With five active terminals, containing over 130 gates, you will be able to fly airlines (both cargo and commercial) from all across the world to this mega-hub! 😉 As with most mega-hubs in the USA, JFK is also under construction over the next ten years or so... but rest assured, as we have committed to with LAX and all our airports, you can expect updates post-release, to address these as the IRL counterparts complete significant milestones in their production. 🚧 To kick this announcement post off you can watch the trailer here 🥳 : Features list: Hand crafted ground poly, textures with crisp, bespoke texture sets (Runways, aprons, paths, roads) True-to-life airport land side recreation with custom ground decals, signposts, vegetation, parking barriers and more Accurately modelled and positioned dynamic airport lighting Highly detailed models of all airport buildings, objects and surroundings Bespoke taxi signage as it is in the real world Up to date airport layout reflecting the current, real-world location Custom built jetways with realistic variations using PBR texturing and animations, including gate number toppers Fully animated JFK AirTrain between each terminals Accurate representation of the famous Canarsie approach Level of Detail (LOD) optimisation for every model to encourage the best performance possible Use of the latest MSFS SDK features to allow for the best optimisation and performance possible Custom static aircraft Full iniManager compatibility to configure your scenery for the best possible performance for your system You can see the full features list above, but in this announcement post, we would like to take you through some of the hero pieces within the airport. Starting off with the infamous TWA Hotel! Orginally the TWA Flight Center Building, this $265 million hotel has been beautifully recreated within the simulator, with its intricate details in the interior including the 10,000 square foot observation deck with an infinity pool! Of course, including the Constellation aircraft in the landmark TWA colours resting in the courtyard of the hotel. A subtle but super important detail for us is the use of over 10 custom jetway types across the airport. We feel focusing on critical details like these, is what makes your experience at our airports immersive, and at JFK we have done just that. Over the 130 different gate types, you will find many different types of custom jetways in different configurations and schemes! We have fully modelled and animated the AirTrain JFK train system, including interiors of the stations! Construction of the AirTrain JFK system began in 1998, and is the airport's dedicated rail network with stops at each passenger terminal - a fundamental piece to the airport and its operation! A great way to explore your newly purchased upcoming iniBuilds scenery! 😉 🚋 As with all iniBuilds sceneries, we make great efforts to re-create all aspects of the airport, and you can see above some fantastic landside details, providing an immersive experience in all areas of your product! We leave you with some more images of the product, and hope you are excited as we are for this one! We are currently testing the scenery, and in the next week or so, you should see media taking a look at this scenery first hand, followed by release! Please let us know your comments here what you think, and hope you have a fantastic rest of your week! 🙂 🎈 Many thanks! iniBuilds Team ❤️ 3 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlightZ5 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 How about PAX walking throughout the terminal. The product looks awesome but without PAX filling the space it lacks that finishing touch. I own all your MSFS airports... Adding Animated Pax is all 5that is missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly think this would be a good addition for our smaller sceneries, but might not be best for the bigger ones. But we will certainly note down this feedback 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazer Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I know it’s a long shot, was that DHL a A300? I didn’t see winglets but a man can hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFWSupertrooper Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) So happy with this! Now we need someone to offer a great KDFW, KATL, and EDDF! Hint...hint... Edited March 29, 2023 by DFWSupertrooper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now though, I am looking forward to this awesome JFK. I haven't been there in reality for almost 30 years, so I will happily fly there again in MSFS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GearUpAviation Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Will it possibly be out before Vatsim's CTP this upcoming saturday? I'm sure many people that are flying into JFK would love the experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddielaker2 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 If only we had Vatsim sounding like Kennedy Steve now that would be something...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Wow! Another must have and great job you are doing on those mega hubs! Any chance for Schiphol (EHAM) (I know another dev has it in the works)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palple Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Look georgeous! Hope you will bring this to XP too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Biderman Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Looks great. My favorite airport! Will this work with the base version of MSFS or will one of the higher versions be required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Vallillo Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Freedielaker2 has a point - why not include some of that Kennedy Steve audio as a recording that could be played in lieu of Vatsim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulygoogs Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I never head of you guys. JFK look amazing. I hope you guys are the new FlyTampa (who seemed to die). Will this be available on Microsoft MARKETPLACE inside MSFS? I was wondering, I just added the lead in lights for the Canarsie 13: approach from a 3rd party addon. If I buy your JFK, should I delete that file? Does your have the 5 sets of lead in lights? I will but this on the 1st day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WebSanity Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I was lucky enough to stay at the TWA hotel last year. If you'd modelled it then, you would have to have included a man stuck to a runway view room floor to ceiling window watching the aircraft for 24 hours :-) Looks like a fantastic rendition, great job! (And far cheaper than said runway view room!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
