KSAN - San Diego Intl. Airport 1.1

(65 reviews)

18 Screenshots

Welcome to San Diego!

… my place to be. my second home. My navel of the world.

I'm proud to release my next project, after working on it for a while: San Diego Intl. Airport.

After I got approval from MisterX6 to use his custom objects from his freeware scenery of KSAN I've started working on a completely new rendition of this airport to bring it up to the new standards and expectations of a flight simmer in the year 2020. 

 

What awaits you?

A completely new created rendition of KSAN San Diego Intl. Airport with SAM integration, high definition ground textures, color corrected terminals, new terminal roofs, color corrected custom ground textures, changed textures of ground clutter and custom ground marking. Every object, every car, every line is handplaced.

+ MisterX6 custom buildings

+ custom handmade runways 

+ 3D grass

+ countless of handplaced objects/polygons

+ custom dirt textures and placed like in real

+ WT3 ground routes

+ orthophotos ZL 21

+ adjusted terminal textures

+ new terminal roofs

+ new ground textures and color adjusted as well

+ changed textures of different things: new Penske truck, now you find the airport logo on fueltrucks, stairs and firetrucks, cars have an California or Nevada license plate and some other minor adjustments

+ SAM integration

+ Ground traffic with MisterX vehicles

(Airport was created in XP 11.41)

Required libraries

 ALES library (Payware!) -> required if you want to use this scenery with ALES textures! (to use only freeware textures ignore those library)

 Airport Envorinment HD by MisterX6

 CDB-Library

 World Models library

 FlyAgi Vegetation library

 Handyobjects library

 MisterX6 library

 NAPS library

 OpensceneryX

 PP Library // R2 Library // RA Library // RD Library // FF Library

!!Make sure you have installed the latest version of the libraries. Thats not required, but recommendet to avoid issues!!

 

Installation

- obey if you want to use ALES version only!! -

As you can see this scenery packs uses the ALES library. You can get it in the store. The Installation is very simple to make this scenery work.

After placing the scenery folder in X-Plane11/Custom Scenery, put the entire folders "asphalt" and "concrete" from ALES library in X-Plane11/Custom Scenery/KSAN - San Diego Intl Airport/KSAN/GroundTextures

There are asphalt and concrete folders in the runways folder in ALES. DON'T USE THOSE!!! The ones you need are in libraries/ALES lib 4K/custom scenery/ALES Lib/

When you copy those asphalt and concrete folders, it will work.

 

Special thanks to @MisterX6 for approval to use his custom objects to create a new KSAN San Diego Intl Airport!!

 

Happy landings!

wow PAYWARE

  

Very nice! I like the details of the airport, it feels immersive.

  

Amazing quality!!! One of the best sceneries for XP, thank you for your great work!

  

this is an AMAZING scenery, payware quallity !

  

Returned to XP11 after a year w/MSFS and decided to try out your KSAN version. Typically, only use MisterX freeware and was expecting issues b/c of amt libraries/assets req but totally blown away....awesome work and zero performance issues even w/new Q4xp a/c. Amazing approaches and appreciate the work you put into it. I have payware scenery that isn't this good. 👍

Being a proud San Diegan born and raised, im very thrilled to be siming on this scenery! The level of detail put into this MASTERPIECE is simply incredible. 

This addition is easily a 10/10 and it works very well, although there are a lot of packs to download to make this work. Just read the instructions carefully and begin downloading from the Ales Developer Library as the payware version (ALES Library) doesn't seem to be available for purchase anymore. Work your way down the list downloading packs, and if your run out of available downloads, search for the packs through other websites like "Fly Away Simulation" for example. For first timers downloading scenery, I recommend doing some research on how to organize your .ini text document in your Custom Scenery Folder to make sure everything is rendered in the correct order by the simulator. 

Anyways, ill most definitely be making donations for this creator as I hope to see more things "San Diego" done by him. 

Somethings for the creator to consider for future San Diego updates:

The Coronado Bridge (Must)

SeaWorld needs some TLC 

More notables structures along La Jolla, MB, and PB beaches, for example Belmont Park (Would be cool to see on CWARD departures)

Petco park has trees growing out of the field, and seaport is full of houses Lol

*Im a San Diego based photographer and would be also willing to contribute high quality photographs of anything needed*

Fantastic scenery, thats payware level for free!

Very nice work. Didn't work for me until I realized I needed to instal the freeware ALES dev library which is also on the forum. This is a must for those who arent using the ALES payware version. 4/5 only because the fps drops a bit when looking at the field and the city at the same time, but its because of the amazing level of detail. Cool beans maybe a KCLT or KIAD in the future?

  

Nice detail and amazing objects! Just one thing with the jetways, when I flew my x crafts ERJ175 into KSAN, the jetway went through half of the aircraft before it stopped. I can't share a screenshot because it's a .png and the forum does not accept that, but please fix the jetway problem! Other than that, great scenery!!

  

amazing!!!

Too many issues with installing... I have all the libraries and they're up to date. But still having a problem loading the airport. Xplane won't even load it. 

Installed MisterX's and no problem.

It's an excellent scenery package. Full of details. Only thing wondering is that please consider stick to one or two libraries when creating scenery. Many libraries have similar objects and I know you could benefit from different libraries and choose the most beautiful version of an object. But that comes with several gigabyte downloading/installation, and you will probably need to keep up with all libraries you use. In fact the "FlyAgi Vegetation library" link is dead so I think I am running it incompletely.

Anyway, that just my personal opinion regarding redundancy of installing different libraries. No question of your creation. it's a stunning work and thank you for sharing.

Hello,

I Would love to give 5 stars on this airport but at the moment i cannot. I have spent hours like Michael b767 with constant error messages.I would really love some help if at all possible.

i have included my Log file if it helps. All libraries are downloaded.

Log.txt

I manage to get it working. A patch needs to be installed to remove Misterx version of city and other POI's. It really is beautiful
