[Verticalsim] - KTPA Tampa International Airport

[WIP] - According to Verticalsim on Facebook:

I’ve decided to go ahead and move forward full-time working on TPA (Tampa) for Microsoft Flightsimulator. I’m aiming to release slightly before Christmas. Could be earlier, could be after.

It’s available now on Contrail and Simmarket…

Scenery looks good but the first gate I spawned into, A18, the jetway doesn’t reach the AC using the default spawn point or painted ground markings. I didn’t spawn into other spots yet but A16 seems to come up short as well based on the position of AI. Curious if this can be fixed.

They said they’re aware and it will be resolved in the next update (From their discord).

A lot / most of the jetways stop short of the aircraft, and at some gates 2 jetways move to the aircraft’s L1 door at the same time, the jetway from the gate you’re at, and the jetway from the gate to your left also comes over, depending on what gate you spawn at. Otherwise the airport is excellent.

Anyone know when the next update is set to be released?

Hello Autopy,

Do you have V1.1? That’s the latest version with jetway fixes.
Regards,
Andrew

I downloaded and tried V1.1 and its definitely better, most jetways reach the plane now. There are still some jetways in Terminal F on the west end that don’t quite reach the plane still. I tested with the PMDG 737-800 and the jetway stopped short by about a foot, and I was parked on the correct marking.

Im having bad performance in KTPA for some reason
i7 8700K 3070ti stutters taxing around and coming in on 19R

Anyone having an issue taking off on rwy 19R? I have tried 4 times and I am hitting a bump in the middle of 19R then I crash. Flying my PMDG 737-700.

Will Verticalsim KTPA become available from the MSFS Marketplace?

V1.2 is great, fixed all the remaining issues. The train does go under the taxiway now and the elevation around the terminals is correct, thanks for your continued improvements!
