[Flightbeam] - KSFO San Francisco International Airport

New native FS2024 version released. Free upgrade too via contrail.

A real bonus is that it’s currently disco0unted at Contrail!

I really like it so would recommend. The only downside if you can call it that is there is no interior to the international terminal, but it does have animated BART. There is of course a new default KSFO in FS2024 already so we are spoiled for choice now.
I haven’t tried the latest FS2024 version yet, but have always been happy with it up until now.

Contrail just updated to the new version (v1.33?). I cannot any longer change the apron equipment density setting from “Full” to “Half” to be gsx compatible in the configuration tab. Anyone else? I want to know if anything is broken on my side.
There is no changelog in contrail, either.

I have the Flibhtbeam2020 installed in MS2024. Is the upgrade for $20 worth it?
Correct me if I am wrong, if I buy the new 2024 version, I need to delete the current 2020 version in my Community folder???

The Flightbeam SFO update for the 2024-compatible version is free for existing customers.

Does this perform better than the default? I get terrible stutters at Asobo KSFO every time without fail.

Just purchased this today (FS2024). Amazing airport - until I noticed that all the taxi / runway lights are suspended 30’ in the air. Just a wee bit of an immersion killer. What is going on here?

I have not seen that. If you have one of the higher-tier versions of the sim, did you disable the Gaya SFO and then reload the sim?

No, I’ve got the base FS2024. Really annoying because otherwise, the airport looks amazing.

But if your 2020 was higher than base then that extra content is carried over to 2024 which is my case. I have Asobo (Gaya) KSFO stream in My Library disabled and never had an issue with the Flightbeam’s version.

I’m following but my original 2020 was also the base version and I’ve never had an aftermarket KSFP until today.

Ok, then I would guess the culprit could be your simulator graphics settings.

Did you resolve this? I just spawned into this scenery in 2024 and don’t see any elevation problems with the runway and taxiway lights (I checked around the 28 and 19 runway ends).
