    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.
    • Other minor improvements.

     

    V1.3   21 Jan 25

    • Lots of ground texture improvements that I didn't have time to do. Mainly tidying up artifacts or hiding them with trees.
    • Fixed some realy crappy looking dirt textures I never noticed.

     

    V 1.5   28 Dec 25

    • FS2024 version update.
    • Replaces/substitutes many missing objects caused by SU4. Too many to list.
    • 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 FS2024 Helicopter cold and dark parking.
    • Adds taxiway exit lighting from the main runways.
    • 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. This project makes extensive use of the UK2000 Scenery Library which is free in the Marketplace. Please make sure you have it installed.

     

    A GSX profile for this scenery by goldmund can be found here.

     

    V 3.2 (3 Aug 24)

    Welcome back to the all new Kalgoorlie Boulder Airport in Western Australia, now a payware quality scenery addon for you FIFO Pilots to enjoy. With almost 1000 handplaced objects, trees, fences, gates, 3D buildings and a new terminal, Kalgoorlie has truly come to life. Featuring a highly detailed apron, custom multi-layered ground textures and a true to life layout, I have put over 100 hours of work to offer an FPS optimised, low-sized-download alternative to the payware version by NZA Simulations.

    Packed full of intricate work, the scenery is a fine addition to my Western Australian collection, and one I am personally very proud of.

    Featuring:

    • Payware quality.
    • A new terminal and roundabout.
    • Almost 1000 handplaced objects.
    • Custom multi-layered ground textures and markings.
    • True to life layout, lighted taxiways and apron.
    • Fully fenced and gated.
    • Removal of all MSFS artifacts, shadows and blotches for a clean look.
    • 2 hangars to spawn into.
    • High detail everywhere with precision linework and seamless textures.
    • Helipads with hidden parking underneath (parking 100, 101 etc) for cold and dark helistarts.

    V 3.4 

    • Changes to the main terminal to accomodate goldmunds GSX profile which can be found here.
    • Also, if you are missing the terminal letters check to see that you have Airport Markings by Mikea.at as I forgot to add that in the list earlier.

     

    V 3.5

    • Corrected/straightened all of the taxi signs.
    • Replaced the stock apron lines with my own custom ones so that all lines and arrows have the same shade of yellow.
    • Made some other minor corrections and improvements.
    • Removed an overlay that had made all of the ground textures look a little fake. Not sure how that got in there but it is now sorted.

     

    Make sure to check the dependancies as these have now changed since versions 1 & 2.

     


    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.

     


    Instructions:

    Delete the previous version and then unzip and drop into your Community folder. 

     


    Enjoy.

    Your airports really make flying around Australia and NZ a pleasure. I know it has to be a ton of work to keep this many up to date for FS2024, and I really appreciate it!

    I'm sure this problem maybe specific to me but I did experience the DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG (0x887a0006) CTD after installing this scenery. Happy to provide event logs, but as I said, this looks to be an issue on my end, although uninstalling the scenery removed the fault.

    Which sim? They both load fine for me and I have no other messages about this error. Perhaps disable photogrammetry as I do not design for it.

    Hello, this airport is amazing and the amount of detail is incredible. This airport is betttterrrr than any payware sceneries. The textures and details are amazing and look stunning. If possible could you do YAYE Ayers Rock Connellan airport located next to Uluru? YAYE is an incredible airport and has a stunning approach. All good if you can't.
    Thank you so much for this airport!

    I haven't noticed anything wrong with the NZA version apart from the horrendous size. It's good to have an alternative, though, if you're short on space.

    As I understrand they lost their source files and therefore can't make changes or updates. The reason I made this alternative was precisely what you said. The enourmous size and the impact on loading up the sim can't be good either. I just can't justify putting such a massive mod in just to get custom 3D models and it drove me to make my own.

    In my original post I mentioned that their version is quite old, but I didn't know they lost the files. Sucks. Anyways, glad to know there's an alternative that'll be updated. Cheers!

    Great job mate.
    Any chance you can do Bendigo? The one here already has issues.

    For the forseeable future I am concentrating on WA. There is much to do and much demand.
