    • 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.

    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.

    Leonora is situated 832 kilometres inland from Perth in the north eastern Western Australian goldfields and is a poular FIFO work site.

     

    V 3.0 (11 Aug 24)  NOTE THE DEPENDANCIES HAVE CHANGED.

    • 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.
       

    V 3.1  5 Sep 24

    • Fixes some stray objects that snuck into the new build that I didn't notice.
    • 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.

     


    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.

    Enjoy.

    Question: This download presents a YLEO version v2_0 while the changelog above says v2.3?

    Good pickup!
    I uploaded so many today this one was wrong version. Thank you for reporting it. I will update with the correct version.

    Thank you very much for your ongoing, tireless work on Australian sceneries.

    Just visited Leonora today in the sim - and it looks really stunning! If you're considering an update (don't view this as a request) one day - the PAPIs seem to be misplaced for RWY 22 and perhaps the apron lead-in lines could be reworked? It's a very nice FIFO airport and thank you once again for bringing this to our sims!

    The PAPI's are in the correct location for a 3.5deg approach to R22, they just happen to be next to the taxiway but not on it, so they are fine. The SDK places these automatically in the correct place and only ever need to be moved if they end up on something vital.

    I'm looking at the lines and ground textures in an impending update due soon anyway.

    over 2 years ago

    Hmm interesting - I'm looking at the Jeppesen Charts and under chart 10-9, it shows the PAPIs as being at a 3.0 deg angle. Not saying your data is incorrect, but has there been a very recent change to the airfield?
