    YLTN - Laverton Airport, Western Australia  - Image 1

    Description

     

    NOTE: The dependancies listed in the dependancies section are required for both FS2020 and FS2024.

     


    FS2024 Section

    V1.1   04 Dec 24

    • Stage 1 conversion to FS2024. Fixes missing buildings, corrects terrain and textures.
    • Makes the airport work fine and look fine.
    • Look out for further fixes and updates as I discover cool things in the new SDK.

     

    V1.2   19 Dec 24

    • Changed the terrain pathing references for the new terrain engine to read the surfaces correctly into FS2024.
    • Threw some random rocks down.
    • Added windsocks at each end of the main runway.

     

    V1.3   20 Jul 25

    • Pre-update for SU3.
    • Added more lighting to brighten it all up.

     

    V1.4   03 Dec 25

    • Added the proper FS2024 Helicopter Parking for cold/dark starts. Look for Helicopter Parking xx
    • Made other minor additions and texture work.
    • Final check before SU4.

     

    V1.5   01 Jan 25

    • FS2024 version update.
    • Replaces/substitutes many missing objects/buildings caused by SU4.
    • Fixes lighting issues also caused by updates in SU4.
    • All of my scenery is now being checked for this total mess they caused us Dev's.
    • Adds taxiway exit lighting and linework from the main runway(s).
    • Some other minor fixes and additions.

     


    FS2020 Section

    Note  your sim must be up to date with all world updates installed. You do not need any photogrammetry installed, just the base world updates as I borrow scenery from those resources. I also recommend to install the UK2000 Scenery Library which is free in the Marketplace and used by many devs, including my work.

    V 1.0

    Located 120 kms north east of Leonora, 360 kms north east of Kalgoorlie and 957 kms east of Perth. Laverton is just a 1 hour and 40 minute flight with Skippers Aviation from Perth. Situated on the western edge of the Great Victoria Desert. It is the Western Gateway to the Outback Highway, which traverses Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland.

     

    V 3.0 (12 Aug 24) NOTE THE DEPENDANCIES HAVE CHANGED

    This is the latest airport in my collection of FIFO WA scenery that I am giving new life to before MSFS2024 comes out. When it hits the store all of my 2020 work will be of near payware quality and  I can concentrate on the new SDK while you still have great scenery for the old version.

    • Payware quality as is expected by my followers.
    • Full overhaul from the ground up, pretty much a complete rebuild.
    • New buildings and objects.
    • Accurate apron and markings.
    • Your own GA hangar to spawn into.
    • Redid all of the ground textures with custom multi-layered ground work.
    • Rebult all of the fencing and gates.
    • Completely redid the runway, placing the VASI lights in the correct position.
    • Cleaned up most of the MSFS artifacts.
    • Added a cold and dark chopper start under the helipad (Parking 100).
    • Improved the lighting.
    • Checked FPS, all good.

     

    Tip:

    Don't forget to reload your Little Navmap scenery library now and then in order to keep your new airfields accurately portrayed within it. This way all your new taxiway designations are updated among other things.

    LNM automatically searches through your community folder during the process which runs in the background so you can keep simming.

    From the menu bar of LNM:  Scenery Library | Load Scenery Library | press Load. When finished, press Use Database.

    Thank you for your support on this and other work of mine, your comments and ratings are very much appreciated. Funny enough... We have German relatives that have been staying with us for 3 weeks and they are flying home this very evening.

    I want to thank you for doing these WA airports, they add to the realism of flying the RFDS PC12 into them . I also use them for FIFO operations from Perth. Keep up the good work and keep 'em coming!
