downloaddude Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Hello there, excuse me please, if this has already been addressed elsewhere. I was wondering if the stand-alone Australian Airports like Melbouren, Brisbane or Cairns will also be update. Frankly, they really need it and with Australia v2 out, that would be a real step ahead. Unfortunately, they cannot be found on the current roadmap. Best regards Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Hello Adrian, this is where they are at present: Quote We are currently updating all our AU airports to be compatible with Australia v2's higher definition mesh. Please keep an eye out on the release announcement post or our Facebook page for further information on these updates. and there are no intended updates to the airport content.

Aussieflyer38 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Hello Nick, For those of us who have ORBX Brisbane Melbourne etc, will there be a special update price? Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian St Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Brisbane is currently in the middle of having a new runway built, opening next year I believe. That may affect the timings of any re-modeling or updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Yes, $0 believe. However, these are not updates to the content of the airports, they are updates to their compatibility with Australia version 2. Just to be absolutely clear, no amount of wishful thinking or "creative reading" can make this statement: Quote We are currently updating all our AU airports to be compatible with Australia v2's higher definition mesh. mean that matters like this: Quote Brisbane is currently in the middle of having a new runway built, opening next year I believe. That may affect the timings of any re-modeling or updates. will be addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't mention construction progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I lived in Manchester it was about 12 months from when the construction finished to when the first commercial landing took place on the new runway at MAN. I think at BNE ther'll need to be a fair bit of taxiway infrastructure to link the existing terminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downloaddude Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 ok, but coming back to the original question, it is not planned to make new versions of the Australian Airports other then making it compatible to AU v2 (like SODE-Jetways etc.). I hope this gets added to the roadmap sometime. Would be too bad, if this fine airports wouldn't be adapted to today's standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calimoor Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I flew through Brisbane Airport yesterday and the day before. While the new runway looks like it's mostly complete in terms of pavement, the taxiways linking the new runway to the existing airfield are not. There are also still works going on with the new runway itself, including lighting, etc. I believe the first movements are expected in March 2020.
