One of the most iconic airports in the United States of America, New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport is a huge, busy airport and also a destination for the biggest long-haulers, including the mighty Airbus A380. Alongside several other airports built by iniBuilds, KJFK was recently updated specifically to receive the big double-decker, by adding multi-jetway support at selected gates. Watch those in action at the New York airport, enhanced for MSFS 2024:
As you know, these multiple jet bridges are operated via an app available in the default Asobo Electronic Flight Bag (EFB), and they will connect to compatible aircraft only. Take note that these jetways are only available at select gates in Terminal 1 and Terminal 4. You will need to operate them manually per aircraft door. According to iniBuilds, the supported gates are E3, E4, E5, E6, E7, E8A/B and E9A/B in Terminal 1, and A29/A/B, A31, A2/A/B, A6/A/B and A7/A/B in Terminal 4.
If you’re bringing the A380, iniBuilds points to gates E5, E7 and E8 in Terminal 1, used in the real world by Korean Air, Lufthansa and Air France, and A6 and A7 in Terminal 4, used by Singapore Airlines, Etihad, Emirates and Asiana. So you can even pick the right gate for your livery. Remember to update your GSX profile to allow compatibility with that third-party program if you use it. Read more about that in this other article.
Alongside the new multi-jetway support, the new version 1.1.0 also includes several terrain corrections, better alignment of some parking spots, improvements to the taxiway intersections and a small fix to some materials. The following small changelog reflects what this update fully brings:
