  1. Yes you’re right about military photography policy’s in Australia I was basing the post on the fact they could render it in a 3D engine. But I guess photos is the obvious way they render it. I’m not super interested in the military side. Most people on other forums use YWLM as a civilian airport. I can see how difficult this would be considering NAL is on RAAF land and have to abide by RAAF policy’s. But approval may be granted if photos are facing NAL side only and you go through the proper channels. Even if they just better texture the buildings, and surrounds. (Standing corrected this would be more of a freeware after knowing they have to take photos for textures if they want pay ware level detail). An updated accurate runway length would be cool. Not sure if runway length is controlled by Orbx or if that has to be fixed by Lockheed first before a retexture is implemented. thanks
  2. I'm really impressed with v5 performance. And to have all the scenery and aircraft I have with it, working is just breath-taking. It's definitely going to keep the Sim alive for me for many more months to come. MSFS is good and all but it can't compare with the full fidelity aircraft I have with v5. Well done and thanks Orbx for keeping P3D looking great while Microsoft work out their issues and lack of 'decent' add-ons.
  3. G'day All! I just wanted to talk about, what I believe to be a great scenery opportunity! I know it's been brought up in the past on other forums but it's 2021 now and a lot has changed with the airport and deserves a review. Australia V2 has added a couple of buildings to enhance YWLM atmosphere but I feel this should be it's own airport scenery purchase. YWLM (Military side) is the home to some of Australia's latest and greatest airframes including the 737 AEW&C, F35 Lightning II, PC-21 and the Hawk-127 Trainer. The home of 2OCU, 3SQN, 77SQN, 4SQN and 2SQN. The base trains Fighter Pilots using the Hawk-127 airframe. The Pilot will then convert to their assigned fast jet be it Super Hornets, F35 or growler at YWLM or other bases around Aus. Runway 12/30 has been extended to accommodate F35's lesser use of the extremely loud single engine afterburner which is not displayed in P3Dv5 or Orbx's Australia V2. There are now 5x Taxi way holding points A1-A5 and Bravo in the middle. as opposed to the older 4x Taxi way holding points including Bravo. AIRAC doesn't align. YWLM (Civilian Side) is NAL - Newcastle Airport Limited. An airport that is increasing in demand every year. They pay the RAAF for its services (Tower, ARFF, land & aerodrome) this once small regional airport has turned into a multi-destination fully fledged domestic airport with common destinations such as YBBN, YSSY and YMML thanks to JetStar and Virgin Aus. Other many regional towns are also included using Q-link, Aero-Pelican etc. Tower services usually start at 0600AEST and end 2200AEST (pending Mil ops - it may extend or open early) outside of this time CTAF applies and ARFF drops to CAT4. The terminal has just been upgraded to accommodate international services bringing a new terminal, customs, upgraded security etc. Flights to and from New Zealand are increasing and regional international flights are just around the corner. Not to mention the latest announcement; Further upgrades to runway 12/30 increasing width of the sealed surface to allow comfortable landing for aircraft such as 777's and A330's. It's going to create 1000s of jobs and works are expected to be completed by 2023. further terminal works and civilian RAMP works will probably co-align to accommodate larger airframes. This means...….even more international long haul destinations. Amazing for the local community and business and convenience of not having to travel into Sydney for Intl. flights. In summary, I know this is a very popular airport, more-so than your Cessnock airport. It includes dozens of destinations afar and regional, Domestic and International. It's a no brainer. I know 100s of people would pay good money for it. It is the center hub for the Aus military and an up and coming international airport to take some strain of Badgerys Creek upcoming international airport and YSSY. P.S. Badgery's Creek..........the airport that will take most of YSSY's International and domestic flights. If you get on top of this fast you may beat MSFS ASOBO, the construction is well under way. *hint hint . Love your work guys! Icy
  4. G'day everyone, Unsure if this is the right place but; As per the title, does anyone know if PRO-ATC/X works in conjunction with Orbx's AI Traffic? And if it does, do users of Pro-ATC/X delete the ATC sound file that is included in the AI traffic add-on? I'm using P3dv5. Thanks fellas, Will
