Jarrad Marshall Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 To coincide this week with the official opening of the new Cairns Airport domestic terminal, ORBX is proud to unveil the first screenshots of our depiction in FSX. Listening to customer feedback, we decided to branch forward and model the terminal in it's completed state, rather than the "snapshot" style of scenery development otherwise used throughout the project. You will still find the odd hallmark from pre-construction days - purely for aesthetic value, of course! - but all in all a very careful approach has been taken to ensure that we have captured the lines of the new building as realistically as possible. For the absolute purists out there, these "chronological anomalies" (such as the DC3-on-a-stick, pictured below) will be easily disabled through the standard ORBX control panel. Enjoy! As part of the updates to the recently released FTX AU Traffic 3.01, Graham Eccleston included a plethora of new traffic, both airline and GA, to service the airport. Local operators such as Skytrans and Hinterland, alongside new players West Wing Aviation, have been significantly upgraded to populate the skies around Far North Queensland. Lastly, a quick glimpse at the international terminal; more shots from this end of the airport will be showcased over the upcoming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerclaw Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Can't believe there are no comments so far. This looks pretty amazing, especially in the last shot. The approach shot looks especially good too. I'll keep my eye on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 I'm really hangin' out for this one - it cannot come soon enough. I do a lot of flying in the region, and this will surely ice the cake. Great modelling Jarrad - it looks superb. Bring it on orbx. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realatp Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 WOW! Does this airport have the new "FPS Tech" that YMML V2 does? Cairns looks awaful detailed so any comments about perfomance would be greatly appreicated! Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 WOW! Does this airport have the new "FPS Tech" that YMML V2 does? Cairns looks awaful detailed so any comments about perfomance would be greatly appreicated! Thanks guys. Yes this airport will be using TextureFlow as per YMML. Again, the key slider for this airport will be your autogen density, since we've included the entire city of Cairns, including downtown and sububrbs, all modeled by Jarrad hand annotated by Tim. YBCS will be released before Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so is there anyway we can turn that off for instance if we require more power for the PMDG stuff, thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrad Marshall Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 G'day Jordan, So your saying it has kind of a City Scape to it? If so is there anyway we can turn that off for instance if we require more power for the PMDG stuff, thanks John The "cityscape" component of the scenery is quite comprehensive (have a look here for some preview shots: http://orbxsystems.com/forums/index.php?topic=23156.0); I'm conscious that many users who fly the heavies may want to substitute some of the city detail. As John said, the key here is the autogen slider, though we'll be definitely looking at some more control panel options closer to release.

I would love to see all this in the Light planes, but maybe you guys can make is so that we can have just the airport and the "default FTX" show, that way when people start fly the NGX (Qantas/Virign) they will be able to get somemore frames out of her. Just my thoughts, I know a lot of people will be using that NGX in Australia and everything helps, thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Just fantastic, I really can't wait. It's something very special to have your home town airport given the ORBX touch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windshear Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Wow it looks amazing, is it your bump textures or improved ground textures on the last of your ramp shots? It looks razor sharp! Colors and atmosphere is top notch! I really hope you guys would consider doing Sydney! It's badly needed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vora Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Wonderful! That will be my main base of operations for the north, although I assume that I will use the GAT for 90% of the time. Great work guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedge Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I am damn excited about this one! As Archie said, having your home airport is something really special. Now for a high res Innisfail (Mundoo) strip and Mena Creek area featuring Paronella Park, the pub and the school. Not much there so it wouldn't be THAT hard to do, would it?
