Thanks so much to Impulse Simulations for the release of my home town airport YBDG Bendigo Victoria Australia. I now have all your airports for MSFS - Shepperton, Coffs, Adelaide and Bankstown. Truly wonderful. I was reflecting that for YBDG we went from boiled lollies to chocolates. In the first few MSFS versions the airport wasn't included (due to cloud coverage on BING), now here we are with a wonderful rendition and even a couple of our buildings in town. For those who don't know, Bendigo has the richest deposit of deep gold deposits in the world. They only slowed production because it is hard to get to. Most large cities in southern Australia are established on rivers. But not Bendigo, Ballarat and Kalgoorlie - why - because they have all been founded on gold. It's weird when the model is so close to home. Even the Daikin AC's on the main terminal building - a mate of mine services those!. Thanks again to Impulse Simulations - keep it up. My cheeky list from here would be - Mildura YMIA, Albury YMAY, Dubbo YSDU, Tamworth YSTW and Esperance YESP. All have a nice mix of GA and commercial links. And for something a bit different Mount Hotham YHOT Exciting short flight form Shepperton and Asobo's Mount Beauty. Thanks again

Yes, for anyone not from Melbourne as Dr Smith says you can be assured that it is very accurate and a great rendition. I continued that flight out the Calder Highway and eventually landed at Kyneton. It is just wonderful. By the way poor little strip at Kyneton needs some loving attention, if there are any club members out there interested maybe you could team up with someone to customize this lovely little airport.

I too just took my first flight. Out of Moorabbin NE then back over the city a couple of circuits then over the ports and north Absolutely wonderful I have apartment just off Spring St in the city and there is a new double tower Shangri-La Hotel and apartments being built. The buildings are topped out but far from finished and at around 60 floors will be part of the skyline (they are near corner of Latrobe and Spring overlooking Carlton Gardens. There are re a couple of cranes on the roof but the buildings looked more finished than they are. Team has been taken to detail the final build. Again wonderful detail. Also travelling down Little Lonsdale Street the light on the building models is so accurate, I noticed this too on the cutting near the Hoddle Street end of the Eastern Freeway (just near Yarra) Thanks Of course we all wait now for YMML
