MSFS Adelaide (YPAD)

[DYLWOR]

THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR CONTIBUTION.
Let me know if i can help even though im not super qualified (Im just an aspiring teenage pilot).
I have tried to make a scenery and succeeded in making jetways for adealdie airport but it is otherwise pretty poor!
THANKS

Thanks everyone -
I've been experimenting with static aircraft and adding details to the ramp areas. Please note, these static aircraft are not mine and I still need to see if I can get permission to include them in the scenery. Nevertheless, if I can't I'm sure I could do a quick repaint as well. DYLWOR, I'm considering releasing a download link after this is complete. Please keep in in mind though as Marc pointed out, there is still a lot to do. I feel though releasing it sooner than later for those who want a quick update to the default scenery is however better than nothing.

With this all in mind, if anyone is familiar with Adelaide, and wants to help with the project, I would be open to help with the 3D modelling of surrounding buildings/hangars. DM me if this interests you.

Thanks for looking.

Can I make a huge request that you create static aircraft in a separate BGL so end users can turn them off? I personally hate static aircraft in scenery addons. It’s better to add AI aircraft traffic to an airport and have them fly a circuit or something once a week. Otherwise it’s a waste of compute power. I come from the world of Project AI, Ultimate Traffic and other AI traffic addons.

Might I suggest adding such aircraft by just having them do a circuit once per week. This way you will get more aircraft but their parking location on the airport will change.

The problem with static aircraft is that if a real world operator uses the scenery and wants to park in a real world spot and there’s a static aircraft there in the scenery it’s not cool.

Sure I don't see why I couldn't implement something like that. It's really an idea I'm just tinkering with as it seems a bit odd not to see any aircraft parked at the gate (Maybe not at the moment but hey). I completely understand the frustration of static aircraft so I'll definitely make a work around for that.

You are awesome, thank you!!!

As an Adelaidian myself, I can't bare to see the current state of YPAD. I had to make my own basic scenery through the SDK just to make it a little more bearable. The exquisite detail in each of your models is remarkable! How are you making these assets (Im currently working only with the MSFS SDK)? I don't have alot of time owing to schoolwork but I would like to help make adelaide a better scenery!

Your terminal looks great! You’ve come a long way and it really shows here.

Hi all,

I finally have some to show on the development of Adelaide for MSFS. With the new sim, everything is moving much faster. Satellite imagery is no longer an issue which is great. That being said, I don't then see Adelaide being released for P3D any time soon if at all. MSFS seems to be the future of flight simulation and a lot of the methods are no longer cross compatible. P3D is also a real headache to develop with.

To emphasise how much I want to get this released, I am proposing releasing this now as freeware/donationware given the time it has been since announcement. This would be essentially a pre-alpha release with only critical buildings and details in place. For example, static jetways for the release and updates may see dynamic jetways etc. That way, the scenery can be constantly re-iterated and updated for as long as needed without delaying release any longer for those who have waited so long. I realise I will keep updating/changing the scenery probably indefinitely (Being my home airport) so this could be the only way to see a release.

Thanks for looking and I hope everyone is enjoying MSFS2020!

Just seeing if this was going to be released as per above statement above or not just yet? Cheers.

Anyone know or has access to it already?

Hi All,
My team have picked this up off BTD.

We're working away, still quite a bit to add as the airport has had some renovations since BTD Started.

Find some attached photo's

I can't wait to see more !!!

A small update if you have missed it on our Facebook. Custom ground aerial has now been configured and added to the upcoming release.

Animated Jetways have been completed, just have to work on some retexturing.

With YPPH being released this Friday (by AXONOS)...I can't wait o get my hands on this baby!!!

 

[Impulse Simulations]

We've entered the closed state of our project so no more photos will be uploaded as we are close to completion. a few weeks before launch photos of the final build will be posted on our facebook!

Hi All, turns out that my post didn't last week.

YPAD - Adelaide Airport has now been released for Microsoft Flight Simulator!

You can grab your copy here: Website (Direct)
Hope you all enjoy

That's worth the money for sure! Best modeled scenery for a long time to my opinion. What a great job!
Now only real AI traffic is needed to get this outstanding airport truly alive. Really impressed! Last pic seems not to be out of the sim but from reality.

Looks pretty real but is certainly a sim photo haha

You've done a really great job. Well done. Love the details on the landside of the terminal, and even the Vickers Vimy memorial. Maybe you can add a model of the Vickers Vimy inside too? 😉😁

Congratulation your Release!!!
