Orbx has recently announced the development and imminent release of Sacramento International Airport (KSMF) for Microsoft Flight Simulator, one of the busiest airports in California with a yearly average of 12 million passengers.

‍

The airport opened in 1967 as Sacramento Municipal Airport, with an 8,600 ft runway. It was the first purpose-built public-use airport west of the Mississippi.

‍

In 1998, a new terminal - Terminal A - was built, followed by its subsequent renaming to Sacramento International Airport. The first international flight happened in 2002 when Mexicana started a nonstop route from Guadalajara. 

‍

The current layout consists of two terminals with 32 gates in total. Air Canada, American, Delta, and United operate out of Terminal A, and Aeromexico, Alaska, Frontier, Hawaiian, JetBlue, Southwest, Spirit, and Volaris operate out of Terminal B.

‍

Developed by Orbx’s indie Matteo Veneziani, the upcoming SMF will feature detailed ground markings and textures, animated jetways with sounds, dynamic airport lighting, custom airport clutter, custom ground service equipment, an animated train, basic terminal interiors, and orthoimagery of the airport area.

‍

There is no release date or pricing information yet, but Threshold will keep you informed!
