Forgive me if this has been asked and answered. I am on a very slow dialup..and I can't go back to those other pages so easily


Would this be just the airport or would this get the Dubai/Kai Tak treatment?

With regards to Orbx compatibility, I think:

I can't answer your questions accurately at this stage. Sydney is progressing nice & steadily.

I've not tried it with Orbx's scenery as of yet but intend to later.We added a large custom photoscenery & mesh around the airport so hopefully it will overpower the Orbx scenery and avoid the usual problems.

Thank you Orion.

Now I am really excited. I would be including Oz and NZ to my FSX environment to fly.


Does Orbx folks realize that this is going to increase their products sale as wel on the account of Fly Tampa doing thisl? LOL

[Orion]

Well, I'd think the photoscenery would be more like what they've done for Boston or Tampa. I was just trying to be nice and save you the trouble of finding the most relevant post.

George thanks for doing YSSY, im happy to wait until as long as it takes for completion because I know the scenery will be topnotch. Just reading on the Sydney Airport Forum that Qantaslink are moving ops to T3 and they talk about new parking bays http://yssyforum.net/board/showthread.php?t=8982&page=4
Also its only a small thing and im not going to come back with request after request but as a big AI man would it be possible to add ground markings for parking 5A and 5B on the cargo ramp as the Toll Express 737's park there.
Am also happy to help with any questions you may have about YSSY as have spent many times transiting through the airport.
Again thanks for doing YSSY and for FS9 its better than Christmas !

It would be cool but I think you'll need to provide pics if this is to get completed as I don't think any of the aerial imagery available shows these new bays....
Same would go for the new stand off bays south of the international terminal which are now in use (noticed this as driving past on my way to work).....

[KingsfordSmith]

Very valid point Flukey I had a look and couldnt find any but with the new bays about to open if some should surface I will provide the images straight away.

[KingsfordSmith]

Getting closer to finding a picture of the new Qantaslink area it looks judging by this its going to down behind the fenced area

Now can confirm the work in the pic of the above link is for the new dash-8 bays that go live in August that info thanks to the YSSY forum. the pic shows where they will be with 64 the top bay down to 70 at the bottom. The gates are accessed by bus

We don't have any management, nor would we want any. So I won't invent any milestones or estimates.
The Sydney project is going very well & I'm starting to enjoy it now all the technical issues are resolved.
I have a talented 3D Artist helping me out so it will speed development up a bit.

Previews will come near the end of the project. 'When's that?' I have no idea.

I appreciate your enthusiasm for the project & recognised my answer might not be satisfactory. We are a tiny team & have learnt the hard way, that it's best to limit information & previews during development.
