Sacramento International (KSMF) is a medium size regional airport that links the capital city of California to all major airports and airline hubs in the western US and Mexico. It has two passenger terminals with a total of thirty gates. Terminal A, the oldest, has ground-level side-by-side departures and arrivals halls and a twelve-gate concourse. Its design incorporates glass throughout. American, Delta, United, and their regional partners Compass, Skywest and GoJet use Terminal A. Air Canada also uses it for non-stop flights to Vancouver.

Designed by world-renowned architects and completed in 2011, the new Terminal B is state-of-the-art in both architecture and functionality. The main terminal building is open and bright, featuring high ceilings and glass walls. An automated people mover links the main building to a remote concourse of similar design. The concourse has customs and immigration facilities to handle international arrivals. We paid particular attention and spared no effort to accurately reproduce the entire terminal in our scenery. Alaska, Hawaiian, JetBlue, Frontier, Southwest and Spirit use terminal B. Aeromexico and Volaris use it for daily flights to Mexico City, Guadalajara and other cities in Mexico.

Our scenery depicts KSMF as it exists in the fall of 2019. Our renderings of both terminals and their concourses feature an unprecedented level of three-dimensional detail. We use transparency effects throughout to enhance the 3D feel of the glass-rich designs. Using recent satellite imagery of the airport we accurately positioned the aircraft parking positions around the concourses. Parking positions include accurate markings and boarding gates include customized static jetways and service vehicles.

Our scenery also includes the ATC tower and the parking deck next to terminal A. It also includes most of the general aviation, aircraft maintenance and cargo facilities on the southwest side of the field. The scenery also depicts with significant level of three-dimensional detail the fire station, the fuel farm and the extensive solar power plant on the north side of the field.

We positioned the two parallel north-south runways as accurately as possible and added customized approach lighting including lights and fixtures. (The user may opt to remove the customized lights and use the default.) We also added navigational aid antennae and in-ground light fixtures. The taxiway layout is also as accurate as possible and features enhanced markings and lights designed to work best in Prepar3D.

• Custom-made, optimized and fully three-dimensional Gmax models of the entire facility including:
• Two terminals
• Accurately located aircraft parking positions around the terminals and individually customized static jetways at every gate
• Static service vehicles and parking alignment aids at every gate
• The parking structure adjacent to the terminals
• The ATC tower
• A significant fraction of the general aviation, aircraft maintenance and cargo facilities within the field’s boundary
• Navigation aid antennae and custom approach lighting fixtures and lights for every runway. (The user may opt to remove the customized lights and use the default.)
• Custom-made, high-resolution (64 pixels/meter) textures for all Gmax generated models including transparency and reflection effects
• Complimentary custom-made, high-resolution photo real ground textures depicting seasonal changes and carefully blended with the surrounding terrain
• Accurate runway and taxiway layout, including detailed markings and signs
• Realistic taxiway and ramp markings and ramp illumination effects

NOTE: BluePrint sceneries are not compatible with FSX or Prepar3D animated service vehicles

Software Compatibility:

FSX and Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 or 10 (All versions) or Lockheed Martin Prepar3D v3 or v4 and Windows 7, 8 or 10 (All versions). FSX and Prepar3D must be set to display the default terrain elevation mesh with 5 meters or better resolution for the scenery to display properly (1 meter resolution is recommended). Our scenery has not been tested with third-party terrain elevation mesh add-ons and the use of the scenery with such add-ons is not recommended.

• Intel Core i7 or better (Core i7-950 @ 3.07GHz fully tested)
• 4 GB RAM (fully tested)
• nVidia GeForce GTX 970 series* video processor or better (nVidia GeForce GTX 970 fully tested). Dual current-generation nVidia* or ATI video processor in SLI or Crossfire configuration may be required for best performance when dense Autogen and weather features are in use (2 X nVidia GeForce GTX 970 in SLI configuration fully tested)

Note: No significant frame-rate degradation was observed in full-screen mode when using the hardware specified above as “fully tested”.
