Welcome to San Francisco Airport (KSFO), one of the busiest and most iconic airports in the world. Located just 13 miles south of downtown San Francisco, KSFO serves as a major gateway for international travelers, boasting numerous large terminals and four runways.
Flightbeam’s KSFO is created by local developers who conduct frequent on-site surveys. Unlike some competitors that rely on outdated Google Maps imagery, our product showcases accurate and up-to-date details from actual visits. We have meticulously explored every terminal, traversed nearly every taxiway, and gathered a vast collection of airside imagery through thousands of images and scans.
Features the absolute latest updates to the real airport, including the Summer 2024 taxiway T update!
Our meticulously crafted MSFS rendition of KSFO Airport brings unparalleled realism to your virtual flying experience. A mega hub with digitally painted, multi-layered textures with exquisite detail, capturing the essence of this world-class airport. We've conducted an extensive on-site survey to ensure every aspect is true to life. Combined with robust optimization techniques, our KSFO airport scenery delivers both stunning visuals and seamless performance, making it the top KSFO airport option out there.
