tonyc1946 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Will there be an update to Brisbane to reflect the new parallel runway and airport changes? Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzieblr Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 The new 01L / 19R runway in Brisbane opens today - the first commercial flight scheduled from this runway being a Virgin Australia flight to Cairns YBCS. There are no doubt many Australian or Oceania flight simmers who would like to know if/when this runway will be added to the YBBN scenery. So far I have not seen an answer in this forum from anyone at Orbx, unless I have overlooked one of the threads. May we request an announcement one way or the other from Orbx at this significant time? Many thanks, Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Correia Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 We have commenced development on Brisbane v2 which will be a complete rework of the original and with its new layout. There will be an upgrade fee (to be determined still) and at this point will only be available for P3D v4 & 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the performance will improve as well - Brissie has deserved it! Would it be possible to add a „Riverfire“ mode as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optoisolated Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Why won't FSX be included in the new update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 It's worth noting that this answer was given on 11th June, now a month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerribleT Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Am a bit confused - earlier post implied an upgrade for FSX and the later post says not ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Hello, as far as I am aware, the earlier post did not infer anything other than there would be an upgrade and that it would not be free of charge unless you have seen another one? Apart from the fact that it was an answer to a question about FSX-SE, of course. At any rate, there is no room for misunderstanding now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is excellent news; v1 has always been a fave (of mine) but it’s now showing it’s age!! BrisVegas is my ex-hometown and I often use YBBN as a point of departure or arrival. Looking forward to v2’s eventual release - I don’t mind paying for someone else’s hard work to develop a new contemporary version of the airport.

Since there is only 1 Aussie Airport in the new sim - and we now know Orbx's relationship with the sim fingers / toes crossed - maybe what Ed was describing - Brisbane V2 - will be our first brand-new airport in in MSFS with the 2 runways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wouldn’t want to discourage Orbx from concurrent devel for P3D which will remain on my system, and be used, for quite some time to come :-) I have waaaaaay to much Orbx and other 3rd party devel loving installed/invested in P3D.

Nick Cooper Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Hello, as I understand the comments made, the intention was not to update but to make a whole new version. Airport development is not measured in weeks or even sometimes in months. Please be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastCanadian Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Sounds good to me because I just bought Brisbane and the runway textures are horrible looks like FS9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Thomas Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 This is really good news. I remember being amazed by YBBN v1 - now it's slow, clunky and just old. I was considering disabling it and using the new version in FTX Aus which includes the new runway. Orbx has been a victim of their own success, they were quick to develop Australian airports which means most (apart from YMML) are reaching their end of lives. It will be great when these get upgraded to the latest tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hello, 1. there has been no update to the Orbx payware version of YBBN. There will be a version 2. 2. Graham has indeed updated the version of YBBN that is included in Australia version 2. 3. If you prefer to see that new version instead of your payware version, you must do two things. a) disable or uninstall the payware version. b) reinstate these files by renaming ADE_FTX_AUS_YBBN.BGL.disabled-by-ybbn ADE_FTX_AUS_YBBN_CVX.BGL.disabled-by-ybbn FTX_AUS_YBBN_objects.BGL.disabled-by-ybbn to ADE_FTX_AUS_YBBN.BGL ADE_FTX_AUS_YBBN_CVX.BGL FTX_AUS_YBBN_objects.BGL Be aware that if you leave the payware Orbx version installed, each time you run Sync Simulator, Orbx Central will undo this and you will have to do it again.

The update is within the Australia v2 Region, not YBBN. If you wish to use the new runway you must uninstall YBBN. If you have YBBN installed the file in question "ADE_FTX_AUS_YBBN.BGL" will be named "ADE_FTX_AUS_YBBN.BGL.disabled-by-ybbn" and thus won't be loaded. I have opened this file up in ADE and confirm it has the new layout. It would be nice if Orbx could add the new runway and taxiways to the existing YBBN product even if the new additions where just vanilla P3D surfaces, while we wait for YBBN v2.

WYXLR8 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Is there an estimated date? This runway has been in the planning for quite some years. Even if you weren't privy to the details back then, the information has been available to the public (and the developers) since early this year as well. So the plan is we pay more now for a late update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Hello, the plan has been made quite clear. If you want an updated runway layout, one has been included in Australia version 2. To see it, you will need to suspend your use of the original Orbx YBBN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Correia Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Brisbane v2 is planned for release in January, and yes there will be an upgrade price for existing YBBN customers. The whole airport has been redeveloped from scratch so it's not just the new runway being added in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
