    Boston Logan (KBOS) Airport Improvements - Image 1

    Description

    This is now a more extensive update. This started as just replacing the egregiously bad stock tower and then adding apron lights so the airport wasn't pitch black at night. Well, it's gotten a little more out-of-hand. See update below:

    **IMPORTANT: A couple of users identified an issue with ground services including jetways and pushback tugs at some of the gates. After doing some testing with a few people we found that the issue also exists in the base KBOS from Asobo (ie., it happens without this mod as well). Specifically, you cannot use any simconnect systems (toolbar pushback, the FBW EFB, the CRJ EFB, etc.) to call for ground services at the following gates: A13-A22, B7-B12, B15-16,  and the West Cargo Ramp.

    Workaround: You can use the in-game ATC, tune to Boston Ground on 121.9 and request the services. If you request the Tug through the in-game ATC, once it is connected, you can use the Toolbar Pushback mod to do the actual pushback including a pre-planned pushback.

    This is an odd bug in that it affects the Asobo KBOS as well, but replacing all of the gates  in this mod didn't change the behavior. All of the problem gates are west of a very well defined line - nothing east of that line is showing the same issues. I will be filing a ticket with Asobo, but if anyone has further details or insights, please send me a private message. Thank you!

    v1.3 UPDATE:

    Small-ish update this time. A few new buildings and some surface markings. Planning on adding the UPS buildings as soon as I can get some good air-side reference photos. Then I will probably move to the South Cargo Ramp.

    • Added custom-modelled maintenance hangars for American, JetBlue, and Delta at the North Ramp
    • Added Taxiway "Spot Markings" around the terminal. These are mostly useful when talking with ATC (i.e., on VATSIM) - Includes the (in)famous Spot 7: "Push into the ramp your discretion, advise at Spot 7 ready to taxi"
       

    v1.2 UPDATE:

    • Added a custom-built and textured Signature Flight Support over by the GA Ramp
    • CAPE AIR GATES now avaiable - Cape Air flies Cessna 402's out of C27, so 10 small space are there now
    • Adding the Cape Air gates meant re-doing all of the gates for the airport as well as taxiways.
    • Re-did all ramp, gate, etc. markings to reflect reality as best as possible
    • Added custom taxiway surface markings where appropriate (Instersection markings, ILS and APCH hold short markings, anti-certain-famous-celebrity "TAXI" marking on Taxiway Mike, etc.)

    Please let me know if anything is amiss - this is a TON of work to revise all of this, and it's likely I missed something. If you find it all valuable, please consider tossing a dollar two my way via the Donate button. Thank you and Enjoy!!

    v1.1 UPDATE - Due to popular demand, I have added arpon floodlights by the gates, etc. I tried to place them as accurately as possible based on satellite images, but if anything is incorrect, let me know!

    To re-iterate, this does not fix any weird taxi issues, unrealistic terminal, garage, etc. Just the tower. (and as of v1.1 - Floodlights) :-)

    There may be downstream issues - if anyone notices problems, please let me know and I will try to address quickly. Enjoy!

    As usual, simply un-zip and place in your community folder.

    Good to know. I admit to being remiss on this since the FlyTampa was released and it is, quite frankly, excellent. I do want to come back and update for the Lipstick terminal though.

    Thanks for making this scenery. Love it and I really appreciate the effort you have put into it. I think some tweaks to the setup might be needed for 2024 as the default terminals are being drawn over your work. The terminals are very tall.

    This particular mod doesn't actually replace the terminals. Just the tower, the Signature FBO and some Hangars. Mostly, it was about correcting the tower and the taxiways, etc. But it does need an update something fierce.

    oh. that's why. funny how the default terminals in 2024 are much worse compared to the 2020 version.

    For some reason I'm missing completely all airport terminal buildings... but jetways are there. :D

    I just downloaded this and love it. I know that everyone has the FT version perhaps by default, but nothing beats a great freeeware version. This foots the bill just fine. THANK YOU!

    You're very welcome. If I get a bunch of extra free time, I'll add something for the new E Terminal addition, but it looks like a TON of work :-)

    Does this fix the comically tall terminal buildings?

    Sadly, no. I lost my motivation/steam when the fantastic FlyTampa KBOS came out. Sounds like maybe I should re-think that. Seems like there are still plenty of people looking for a freeware alternative. Only custom buildings in this are Signature, and the American. JetBlue, and Delta hangars at the North Cargo ramp

    I work for AA at Logan and have full access is there anything you need information about? ( I use FLYTAMPA's KBOS but I don't mind helping you out)

    That would be great. I'll drop you a DM - I'll be honest, I kind of petered out on this one because pretty much everyone seems to have the FlyTampa

    Boston KBOS Jetway Control Fix

    Boston KBOS Jetway Control Fix

    This add-on resolves an issue at Boston Logan International Airport (KBOS) by disabling the water runway to allow proper jetway calls using GSX or an aircraft EFB. It has been tested with MSFS 2024 SU3, but is also compatible with MSFS 2020 due to the underlying problem being identical. The solution does not alter the airport scenery, making it suitable for both default and add-on versions. Installation is done by copying the files to the Community folder.
