    Description

    Discover the charm of Port Lincoln Airport (YPLC), nestled on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula—a scenic coastal gem known for its stunning ocean views, regional connectivity, and vibrant aviation community. This work-in-progress scenery project aims to bring a highly realistic recreation of YPLC to your Microsoft Flight Simulator experience. As a passionate simmer giving back to the community, I've focused on capturing the airport's unique character, from its modest terminal and hangars to the surrounding landscape, all available completely free to enhance your virtual flights.

    Whether you're flying general aviation routes or exploring Australia's regional skies, this scenery provides an authentic base for operations at this bustling yet intimate airport. With custom models, detailed textures, and tailored airport services, it's designed to immerse you in the real-world feel of YPLC—perfect for short hops or scenic tours.

    This project is actively developed and is still a work-in-progress, with ongoing refinements to add more polish like interior detailing, vegetation, and night lighting. Your feedback is invaluable in shaping its future—feel free to share thoughts on what to prioritize next!

    it seems that the addon yplc airport clashes with the original airport in msfs2020.

    Hi MustangMan,
    Unfortunately we've found that the scenery is not compatible with MSFS2020. Thanks for giving it a go though.

    Hi, thanks for the scenery it's looking great, and although Impulse picked the wrong time to release theirs, this is certainly all I need for my occasional visits! However, I do have a problem, there's a large white taxiway or apron sitting on top of the scenery and it looks like the more detailed photoreal ends not far from the apron. I don't know if it's just m install, I have uninstalled and reinstalled and applied the new updates but it's still the same. Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing.

    Oh no! Thanks for pointing that out. It is a reference image that I accidentally left in there. I have reuploaded it with the fix. (v0.7.2.9.1). Sorry about that, I am glad you are otherwise enjoying the scenery.

    Love the scenery, but maybe hold it until you're sure it's ready.

    Thanks for the feedback. I fear if I held it until I was sure it was ready I would never release it. I do apologise if the number of updates over the past few days is annoying you. Updates from now on with be further apart.

    ngl, at first glance i actually thought maybe you stole this from impulse simulations, who are planning on releasing this soon, but closer inspection i noticed it was different. Sorry to think the worst, but i guess its more of a compliment than anything else!!

    Thanks for the feedback. I started this long before Impulse did and they knew about it. As far back as November 2021 is when I started learning Blender by modelling the airport terminal building, it has been a slow stream of learning, with a few long hiatuses in between. I am now at the point where I really just need to get it finished and get it out into the world. Check back regularly as I have plenty more planned.

    I'm going to give it a crack in FS2020, if it doesn't work, I will use it in 2024 when I finally bite the bullet on that... Your screenies look amazing, I've got payware that's not as good as this airport!

    FYI, I can confirm that this scenery won't work in MSFS2020. Fails to load & just hangs on the loading screen prior to flight...
