FS2020 Section

NOTE: Your sim must be up to date with all world updates and POI's installed. You do not need any photogrammetry installed,  just the base world updates as I borrow scenery from those resources. This project makes extensive use of the UK2000 Scenery Library which is free in the Marketplace. Please make sure you have it installed.

 

V 1.0

Boolgeeda Airport (YBGD) is an airport serving the FIFO Brockman 4 mine in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The airport officially opened on 27 November 2012 with a regional flight from Busselton while direct flights from Perth commenced on 3 December.

 

V 2.0 ( 20 Jan 2024 )

• Reworked a whole buch of textures including car parks, roads, apron and the ends of the runway.
• Removed that ugly vegetation at the end of runway 08.
• Reworked the apron dashed lines cos they looked f$#ed. Now they are perfect.
• Added centre lines and edge lines to the roads.
• Added gabled markers surrounding the runway (yes mooze I will do Newman one day)
• Corrected a windsock position so that it was in the right place on the airport chart. Removed one that shouldn't have even been there.

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.
