    YMLT Launceston Airport Tasmania - Image 1

    Description

    Launceston Airport (IATA: LST, ICAO: YMLT) is a regional airport on the outskirts of Launceston, Tasmania. The airport is located in the rural area of Western Junction 15 km (9.3 mi) from Launceston city centre. It is Tasmania's second busiest airport in the state, after Hobart Airport; it can also run as a curfew free airport. Runways 14L/32R and 18/36 (all Grass) were closed some years ago when the entire airport went through a major upgrade. Enjoy!

    It seems there is something really wrong with the airport. I've landed there yesterday for the first time ever with pmdg 737. Runway 32L. When I wanted to vacate runway at A aircraft got stuck. It was like 100 % brakes applied. I had to use 100 % thrust to get myself to the taxiway with speed of 1 knots. I let the aircraft (myself) tow to the gate. When I checked brakes they were all gone. Max temperature (10.0) on all brakes). Brakes failed. It happened to me in the past with freeware airports as well. That the runway(s) or taxiway(s) are really "sticky" and aircraft stops like its glued it to it. Also papis are wrong. On G/S showing all 4 whites. 4/5 for now because of the papis. Will test the "stickiness" again.

    Hi. Sorry for delay as i have been away. Are you still experiencing these issues? If so, are they when using 2020 or 2024. Does the issue occur with the default aircraft?
    I tested YMLT with both versions and did not have any issues. The only change with the software release was adding the terminal. The one thing I have noticed is that in the 2024 version the hold short lights are just below the ground and im struggling to get them to ‘lift’.
    Let me know if your problem still exists and with what platform

    @ironpot it was in MSFS2020 with PMDG 737-800. Will try with something different.

    this is an excellent freeware airport, great job.

    is it possible in the next version to update the parking so that the airliners are at the terminal gates and not parked down in the GA bays to the south?

    Great to see this one. I did have trouble with high trees on final for 32L. They do appear to have gone now. Will d/l tomorrow hopefully and have a look.


    Second, Can you look at the ILS for RWY32 as it seems quite offset from runway extension....Or is this just an anomaly with the CRJ perhaps?

    ILS appears OK for me touching down on track. I checked with a couple of default aircraft. Will try my CRJ too

    almost 4 years ago

    Yeah. My localiser bar is well off to the left on appr so will be interesting to see how you go

    Ok I take it back. ILS is off to the left just left of the taxiway for all aircraft. Seems there’s an issue in MSFS as I don’t change the defaults so that the ILS comes from either the default in built nav system or from Navigraph if you use it. I can overwrite the ILS but it will mean that Navigraph won’t work.

    I’ll report it to ASOBO to get the ILS default updated. Meanwhile I will run up a package with the ILS manipulated for those that just use MSFS and don’t care about Navigraph.

    OK thanks for all your help. Will look forward to next version

    Thanks for the comments on all. They are all going to be reworked because the WU for Australia has poked stuff through on some...
