![]() Internally looks a bit like the Millennium Falcon of Star Wars fame in feel, the animated building fans only heighten the effect. Carpark detail is extraordinary and complex as the there are so many different layers, and they are all animated with traffic. Inner core there are four Terminals, the large International, then anti-clockwise are Terminal 1, 2 and 3.Ĭentral core is a labyrinth and also the main carpark for all the different terminals. SFO San Francisco Airport is built around a central core, with seven concourses, with one (Terminal 3) being a concourse/rotunda with arms. The runway layout is really a cross with the terminal and concourses in the upper right quadrant (looking west). The airport sits directly on the west of San Francisco Bay, and almost directly opposite Oakland International Airport on the eastern side of the same bay. KSFO - San Francisco Airport Definitive by ShortFinal Design IATA: SFO - ICAO: KSFO - FAA LID: SFO - WMO: 72494 "International" was added at the end of World War II as overseas services rapidly expanded. The airport's name was officially changed to San Francisco Airport in 1931 upon the purchase of the land. San Francisco purchased the property and the surrounding area expanding the site to 1,112 acres (450 ha) beginning in August 1930. San Francisco held a dedication ceremony at the airfield, officially named the Mills Field Municipal Airport of San Francisco, on May 7, 1927, on the 150-acre cow pasture. The City and County of San Francisco first leased 150 acres (61 ha) at the present airport site on March 15, 1927, for what was then to be a temporary and experimental airport project. It also serves as a hub for Alaska Airlines, which operates in Terminal 2 Additionally, SFO is a major maintenance hub for United Airlines and houses the SFO Museum that was created in 1980, the first museum in an international airport. SFO functions as United's primary Trans-Pacific gateway. It is the fifth-largest hub for United Airlines, which operates out of Terminal 3 and the International Terminal. In 2017, it was the seventh-busiest airport in the United States and the 24th-busiest in the world by passenger count. SFO is the largest airport in the San Francisco Bay Area and the second-busiest in California, after Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). ![]() It has flights to points throughout North America and is a major gateway to Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australasia. San Francisco International Airport is an international airport in San Mateo County, 13 miles (21 km) south of Downtown San Francisco, California. SFO is again a total revisit to the older freeware version, but a total revisit means it was completely rebuilt from nothing, so the two KSFOs really have nothing in common, but are related only to the same airport and location.

So how do you top brilliant? by going extraordinary that is how. With a name change to ShortFinal Design, Justin Kissling (the famed MisterX6) went payware with the "Definitive" series of scenery. The dream run couldn't last and it didn't. ![]() A load freeware sceneries followed with, KPHX, KPDX, KCUB, KSAN, KLAX and PAJN that were all delivered over the next few years, leaving X-Plane users begging for more. In reality it was crazy that this sort of extreme (for the time) work that was delivered for free, as the attention to detail was second to none. They also set a standard and created a high reputation for anything delivered by "MisterX6". Coming in with a freeware version of KSFO San Francisco International Airport and City 2.0 in November 2015, then a second release in June 2016 was of KBOS - Boston Logan, and both were high quality X-Plane payware sceneries and for free.
