Description
Also known as just San Jose International Airport, this is Silicon Valley's main airport located at the heart of downtown San Jose, CA. As an alternative to larger airports such as San Francisco Intl, KSJC has parallel 11,000ft runways and serves many destinations; from local flights to flights to London, Tokyo, Beijing, and formerly Frankfurt and Shanghai. The airport is continuing to expand it's Terminal B due to a huge pre-pandemic increase in demand from local travelers.
Here the airport has been created from scratch for MSFS and features custom ground textures, buildings, navaids, vehicles, functional custom jetways, and dynamic lighting. This project was created by one person and is over five years in the making. Enjoy!
Installation instructions:Please unzip the file and move the "copilot8-ksjc" folder into your MSFS Community folder.

This project first began on FSX, moved to P3D, and finally ended up on MSFS after multiple years since begining development. This was created by one person with help from only one other person (NickFlightX) for references. As such, many many thanks go out to all of the forum users that helped me along the way, solving many of my problems and allowing this scenery to finally be completed. Please enjoy your flights to this airport! This scenery is 100% freeware.

Absolutely outstanding. I actually prefer this over the Orbx version. Night textures are fantastic, too. Thank you very much!

Thank you for the airport. Check out gate 2, front end is on the ground. Can't wait to see the final product.

Good airport, but the textures of the buildings (jetway-buildings) should get an upgrade, the resolution of the textures is really low.

Great rendition of KSJC. Looks just like Orbx's KSJC. The only problem I have is that the LOC for 30L does not line up with the runway. Instead the LOC lines you up 360 degrees (true north) and I cannot capture the G/S. Also because of this, I cannot fly to this airport during rainy days, as the 30L and 12R LOC are the same. The aircraft (FBW A32NX) says I am lined up (showing the pink diamond right on the center), but in reality, I fly through KSJC midfield. Nowever lined up with the runway.
