YSSY Sydney Airport Photo Scenery

[chris k]

1.1 Update

Aug 05, 2012

- Earlier release forgot to include the NO_SHADOW versions of my grass facades

- Resulted in shadowed grass when there shouldn't have been (it was in my test build but not in my release build)

- Finished up Heliport area. Traced "H" markings, Helipad Designator markings, taxiways, and blue outlines.

- Added grass around Heli edge area for effect.

- More Grass at edges around the perimeter of the airport

- Added dark grass in 3 taxiway outline areas near Intl Terminal that I noted were missing.

- Zebra Markings at Domestic Terminal Added

- Red outline/out of bounds markings in Domestic area added

- Fixed some grass edging which were causing alpha hits with objects behind them

- Removed some grass where it interfered with the ILS bollards.

- Changed Northern Intl Cargo yard to use new 10.10 lib objects for Dollies/Cargo Palettes

- Added Forest exclusion at RWY07 Threshold on the far bank.

hi chris,

Thank you for submitting this and for all your hard work. Are there any plans for some scenery for bankstown airport or has someone else already done this?

[ahhyes]

sorry multiple edits to try and give as much info as possible.

[ahhyes]

oh my... I am sorry... Helps if I read.

X-Plane 10.10 is listed as the requirement.

10.10 is still in beta though, so I am wondering why this is a requirement?

[chris k]

Because it wont be beta forever.

[ahhyes]

It's a pity Chris.

10.10 has broken a lot of payware aircraft. I fly the 787 and 10.10 has broken a number of things in that plane. I am rolling back to 10.05 as I type this (after testing many 10.10 betas and reporting many bugs). The newly released Boeing 777 up on x-plane.org also only supports 10.05), funny how the authors have decided not to support 10.10

it now means I am going to lose your scenery which I really really enjoyed. I think a number of people will be staying away from 10.10 for some time, is there NO way you can make this scenery compatible with 10.05?

[chris k]

Only if I delete about 1/3 of the objects! =)

- CK.

p.s. yes there is a way - by using a placeholder library to replace any unreferenced objects with a 'blank' one, so it loads.... much like opensceneryX does. I have pondered this as a temp fix for now.

Problem is, there's a ton of new library objects in 10.10 that I'm taking advantage of... so even thought I could make a 10.05, quite a bit would be missing.

Hi Chris

Foir version 1.1 you say you have added 'zebra markings' for the domestic terminal. I am currently working on a scenery in the UK with no air bridges so quite alot of these passenger 'zebra' walkways out to the aircraft. Where can I find the POL's for these, in the WED library or OSX?

Regards

Simon

OpensceneryX

One of the POLS.. zebra/1.pol I believe

[Jordan P.]

is YSSY all lego bricks or is it custom. I will get this file once i get a new laptop becuase i don't think my think vantage would hold this scenery.

[sichars1968]

Thanks for that Chris.

Lego bricks except for the billboards and tower.

Hi Chris,

What's the best method to move gate starting positions? I'm trying to make room for my big fat 777 at say Int 37 or 34 where the aircraft pokes its nose into the passenger lounge ("Flying High" style). Using WED the very slightest movement shifts the aircraft 50-100m and sometimes reverses its direction even though the little icon still points the same way.

Any suggestions?

Phil

[chris k]

Use WED to move them, not the built-in X-Plane 'local map' to move your plane. (thats not WED) =)

I have included the earth.wed.xml file in the latest release - feel free to move some of the gate startup locations using WED 1.2b1

- Ck.

BTW, I got a few of photos from a visit to Sydney ATC. They are on-line here...

Now I'm jealous.

[chris k]

That is freaking awesome.

[pmorris]

Just found the Sydney City Photo Scenery XP10 on ISDG's web site.  A perfect compliment to this fantastic airport scenery.  Now all we need is Laminar to deliver on their long promised fix to Botany Bay and flying around the Sydney region will be superb.

 

Thanks to Chris and the others at ISDG
