KJFK v2.1 not appearing till 6nm

[fc747]

hi

Just installed V2 with the update -

On the 13L VOR approach, I don't see the airport until abeam of the Floyd Bennet field (appx 6nm from JFK)

Passing ASALT and going towards CRI, there's a dark patch (night) or  undefined terrain (day) up until crossing FB field - at one point appx 6nm from jfk, there is a slight single stutter, and the entire jfk scenery appears .....  after that, it's OK....

i7 2600K  / OC to 4.2 /  GTX 670

All usual fsx cfg tweaks done - bojote, highmemfix, lod, etc.... 

Ill try and upload a video

thanks...

That's not obviously a bug, the scenery range, which is in fact 7 nm from the center of the airport, has been carefully designed to be like this in order to be sure that JFK won't be loaded when you are at KLGA, in order to keep the memory requirements down and minimize the risk of crashing FSX for going out of memory.

It has been like this since JFK was released in 2008, the airport loading range has always been at 7NM since then. Nothing in the V2 update has changed this.
