A long wait to takeoff

A typical queue at YBBN


 


Politics prevented a second runway being constructed till now, and it is only recently the project has commenced.


 


Meanwhile Brisbane is an airport undergoing rapid demand for slots, and struggles with long lines at peak times.


 


The view is to the southwest and the Gateway Bridge.  A seemingly very high bridge over the Brisbane River, but now too low for the largest cruise ships that must use the nearby container wharves on Fisherman's Island, which is well depicted in the Orbx YBBN.

Mallard:  good point, but ...

 

Australia is long distances and isolated cities, a few large by European standards, the remainder small.  The T777 would only be useful on one domestic leg, Sydney to Melbourne.

 

In fact Virgin will use a 787 for that when enough are delivered.  Qantas has elderly 767s which handles the Sydney - Melbourne leg and might use a A330 in the future. (Also Sydney-Perth which is a very long domestic flight)

 

The aircraft in front were going to Melbourne, Adelaide, Cairns and Sydney.


ps I am going to have to cut the Traffic back, it sure hits fps, but I feel it makes the experience so much more real.
