This is a full scenery package for KJAX, with custom buildings and textures. All taxiways, parking spots and taxiway-signs were placed as they are on the real airport. Manually placed Taxiway lights, Runway guard Lights, Leadoff lights, and Ramp lights! As well as hundreds of extra objects to create a more immersive experience.
Custom Buildings
Special thanks to LKPDesigns for providing their custom buildings for Jacksonville International Airport. They were originally from a Xplane Scenery, but they graciously converted them for me and allowed me to use them in MSFS. They even created some new objects to complete the package.
Install/Uninstall
- Extract the ZIP file to a temp location (desktop for example)
- Inside the extracted folder, locate the folder "despamods-kjax-customscenery" and place it in your community folder.
- Start the game and select KJAX as a departure airport
To uninstall simply delete the folder named above from your community folder!
Enhancements
Here are some optional enhancments others have made to this package. These are seperate downloads and completly optional.
GSX Profile made by LKPDesigns (this requieres the payware addon GSX by FSDT)
Static Aircraft made by Savage Sceneries. (This also requieres the FSLTL mod linked below)
Optional Downloads
The following are some optional files you can download to make things better. You will need them to see some objects. But they are by no means required.
FSLTL by fslivetrafficliveries.com You don't need the injector, just the Base Models. This adds the parked aircraft around and inside the AVMAX hangar.
We love VFR - Region 2 by PuffinFlight. This adds numerous towers near the airport. Including the WX radar at the NWS Building. I also use an object from this package as a stand in for the Air Search Radar locate in the middle of the field.
TurtleTank's objects & Materials by TurtleTank1997. This adds the Distance Remaining Signs alongside both runways.
Japan airports Model Library by Karuchie. This will add the RVR Sensors alongside RWY 8-26.
Dames Point Bridge by Michelvp. Add the Dames Point Bridge south of the airport.
You will also need both US World updates from the in game store!
Known Issues
The following are issue I was unable to fix for various reasons. They may be fixed in a future update.
Terrain! This airport proved to be a real pain in the butt to terraform. Weird hills and dips where all over the place and refused to cooperate. So I eventually gave up and flattened the whole airport! There is a 6ft elevation difference between the highest and lowest points of the airport. So it's not that big a deal.
Compatibility Warning!
Airport Lights by Andres3D will cause issues with this mod. It does work! However since this mod adds its own lights around the airport; You will see the ones placed by Andres mod in addition to the ones placed by this mod. Unfortunately there's no way to Alter Andres mod to fix that.
Additionally this mod is not compatible with my KJAX Default Airport Improvements mod. You will need to completely remove it before installing this.
NOTE: This mod completly replaces my previous "Jacksonville International Default Airport Improvements" mod for this airport. Im marking that one as no longer supported. Though your always welcome to try it if you don't want this one. I can't guarantee it works anymore after Sim Update 12.

There was no Taxiribbon when Landing on RWY8 and the Jetways did not move also the gate numbers where wrong(gsx profil installed) ATC said gate 19, in reallity it was A8

not sure what could cause the lack of a taxi ribbon unless ATC just told you to taxi via "taxiway" instead of giving a specific path. The jetways should be working unless your GSX is borked for some reason. theres no Gate 19 any where on this airport so i dont know what could have happened there.

Very impressive! One of the best freeware airports I have downloaded. Great attention to detail across the entire airport. Nicely done.

OUTSTANDING!!! I thanked you for your previous updates to the (neglected) default KJAX, but this is GREAT WORK! I just landed in MVFR w/rain and it looked even better than your posted photos! Great FPS and visuals. Everything functioned perfectly (ATIS taxi to gate, jetway, etc.). Well done!
