John Heaton Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 I have just noted that in the Discover section of Central - that Longreach in the very bottom left hand corner of Green is absent - and is a very busy regional airport in the Aussie Outback - due to its Tourism potential coupled with Winton In thinking of my diatribe above on the subject - and in view of the Internationality of the Orbx forum - an approach to Qantas to sponsor the development of a proper Orbx airport at Longreach by someone of the calibre of the Gold Coast or Moorabbin would probably get some result - if the Walk rounds etc included the museum and its display of the static aircraft etc Make enough song and dance about Qantas - especially celebrating Qantas 100th birthday - would also probably make the airport a freebie https://qfom.com.au/ Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bernief Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Hello John. Go to Ants Airplanes web page https://www.antsairplanes.com/scenery.html Download and install Ant's Aussie Airports Complete as per the instructions. It includes a great version of Longreach. Don't forget to disable the .CVX files for the airports where they are duplicated by Orbx in AU V2. You will also have to disable the Orbx ADE and Object file as per OXz instructions in the Community Scenery Addons forum. Cheers Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Bernie Thanks for that Bernie I have seen those Ant downloads - I have their Tiger Moth - and I had noticed the Longreach - Barcaldine a/ps etc However - I an not brilliant at downloaded/inserting anything that requires finding or altering files - I leave all that sort of thing to Central Just trying to get Orbx/JV to use a marketing ploy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orbx have an unwritten rule that they don't develop airports that have been done by other developers. There are a couple exceptions (like Innsbruck) that prove the rule. You will notice that none of Ant's airports which were developed a long time ago have been duplicated by Orbx. The exception is Brisbane which Anthony developed after Orbx released their version of YBBN which suffered from poor frame rates on hardware available at the time. Ant's Airports are well worth the trouble to install. How to do the modifications is explained in this topic of the Community Scenery Addons forum.

wolfko Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 In 2005 we stayed in Longreach overnight and visited the Stockman's Hall If Fame and of course the Aviation Museum which was very impressive and a great experience. I even had the chance to walk on the wings of the QF 747 and to sit down in the captain's seat, which I will never forget. So yes, to have Longreach airport and the museum properly modelled in the sim would be awsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not remember a single outcome of it, or am I mistaken? I have the OZx / Ants version of Longreach as well, with some nice POIs. But for sure this is far from our beloved Orbx level, nowadays.
