YMNE - Mount Keith Airport, Western Australia
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 1.0.1
Mount Keith Airport is owned and operated by BHP, one of Australia's largest mining corporations. The entire town owes it's existence to the company. Since the town is literally across the road from the airport I have done the town as well. I've added the main streets, the construction site, shopping centres, carparks and the service station. There is also a recreation centre in the middle of town that I added ( you WILL need all of the Essential Dependencies below BTW ).
However, I did leave out the cookie cutter accomodation units for the mine workers in the name of FPS. There are hundreds of them.
As FIFO ( Fly in Fly Out ) locations go in W.A., this one looks nice and comfortable, with the exception of the usual heat and flies of course. The workers look like they are well catered for.
V 1.2 ( 12 Jan 24 )
Reworked the town, added an Alfresco area to the recreation area as it looked a little bare. It looks REAL nice now, even I want to go there for a beer.
See change log for details.
V 2.2 ( 24 Jan 24 )
Forced the AI to backtrack the full length of the runway and turn around onto the centreline for departure on runways where they need to do this. There are a number of my airfields that use long backtracks and I am applying the same trick to them too.
Made some other cosmetic corrections/editions, eg gabled markers, road lines, car parks, signage etc.
V 2.3 ( 10 Feb 24 )
Added the airport to the MSFS World Map GUI for visibilty and easier selection.
Added a boundary fence to the entire airfield to keep out the kangaroos.
V 2.4 ( 5 Mar 24 )
Added a heli-start for you chopper pilots.
Made some minor additions whilst in the editor.
That is definetely the last update for this airfield.
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:
Unzip and drop into your Community folder.
Enjoy.
