Embark on an exhilarating virtual adventure with our newest flight simulator add-on featuring the stunning Gold Coast! Soar above the golden beaches, majestic skyscrapers, and picturesque coastline.

 

Whether you're executing a perfect approach to YBCG, performing a medevac flight to the University Hospital, or simply soaring over the iconic skyline, this add-on delivers unparalleled authenticity. The Gold Coast comes alive beneath your wings, from the glittering high-rises of Surfers Paradise to the tranquil waterways of the hinterland.

 

Designed by flight sim enthusiasts for the community, this package is the ultimate compliment to your Australian flying experience. Don't just fly over the Gold Coast – immerse yourself in it. Your virtual hangar isn't complete without this essential add-on!

 

At a glance:

  • Over 42 custom buildings and structures
  • Animated roller coaster at the Sea World Theme park
  • Animated power and sailboats along the coast
  • Emissive textures on all buildings for dazzling nighttime flying across the city
  • Marinas with static boats
  • Perfectly pairs together with our YBCG Gold Coast Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator
  • Includes the Gold Coast University Hospital with a landable helipad
  • Made for use with World Update 7 Australia's Gold Coast photogrammetry
  • Precise placement of our custom landmarks within the city’s photogrammetry coverage

That’s Carrara stadium Wayne, home ground of the Gold Coast Suns Aussie rules football team in winter and a cricket venue in summer :) It was also the athletics stadium for the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

It's not released yet. Ignore that :)

Yup, I'm aware it's just a placeholder but just thought it was a crazy price to display 😊

Thank you Orbx for listening to us. This is my favorite place to fly. I use YBCG as my testing airport for all aircraft purchases.

That's the discount pre-release price! The product is so good that the release price will be the title deeds to your house.

I'm a little suprised that a week has passed and it still hasn't gone on sale??

 

When you see a placeholder, you kind of expect that it's just a day or two away...

Looking forward to this. After this release the only thing I'm hoping for is a YBAF - Archerfield Airport.  I don't know if any developers are working on it though.  I know there is a crap version on flightsim.to but would love to have the terminal buildings look like they should.

 

Back to Gold Coast scenery though.  I wonder if the star casino will be a POI?  I couldn't see any mention or screenshots of it.  Anyone know?

Star casino is there just overshadowed by the Dorsett

I know a certain John who will welcome this, please model his house!

Would you believe I missed this - and on my birthday too - must have been all the birthday wishes you all sent me that got me distracted

 

As for my house - I will have wait for 2024 ---- hopefully

Mmmm, don't hold your breath mate, unless your house is a beachside highrise :)

Great news none the less.

It will be available this Sunday if all goes to plan! :)

I will be there - right after mass - and forget the 20% pensioners discount - I have waited a long time for this
