Dear Captains,
A long awaited milestone has finally been reached. Though there were some considerable early challenges with the new MSFS SDK, each hurdle was diligently resolved, and I'm proud to announce the native version of KSFO: Captain's Edition for MSFS 2024.
The 2024 iteration of Microsoft Flight Simulator brings some exciting new features for developers. The most notable difference customers will notice are the ground textures. They have been completely revamped and tweaked to take advantage of FS2024's new SDK features which allow more artistic freedom with ground assets. KSFO already had high resolution ground assets, but textures were severely limited in MSFS 2020, and a default detail map was forced on all aprons. Multiple tweaks were also made to make aprons and taxiways more lifelike. There are more oil stains, tire marks and gunk - matching the real world counterpart.
In addition to ground textures, every single asset was re-optimized and re-exported with the latest SDK for the best possible performance.
These new attributes add on to the long list of features KSFO is already known for. Some highlights that our customers talk about: Built-in, native VDGS (A, B, E and G Gates)
Completely custom taxiway lights, with correct runway entry/exit colors
Various Faun and Flora around airport. Some of them, judging your mistakes.
Scanned assets from numerous, extensive survey visits on-site at SFO. We don't "Google Earth" develop our products, unlike some competition.

Finally the best part: This is a FREE update for all customers and is currently available on Contrail. KSFO will eventually hit the MSFS2024 Marketplace, when available.

Amazing!
Thank you Mir!
