RAAF Townsville was formed on 15 October 1940 when No 24 (General Purpose) Squadron moved from RAAF Station Amberley to the new RAAF Station in Townsville. During World War II, the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) followed by the United States Army Air Force (USAAF) was based in Townsville.
RAAF Townsville hosts a large number of deployments throughout the year and is significant in providing support services for other Air Force operations and exercises involving all in-service aircraft types, together with a myriad of aircraft from visiting forces. RAAF Base Townsville also plays an important part in ADF operations as forward operating base for forces being deployed on operations into the South West Pacific as well as to the North.
Today, RAAF Townsville is home to more than 1,500 personnel including Air Force, Army, Defence civilians and contract staff and is one of northern Australia's primary Defence installations. RAAF Townsville is a premier forward operating base and a favourite for ADF and foreign allies.

Just noticed the airport is showing double jetways. I checked by removing all other add-ons and even the pre-requisites for here, and the doubles still show up. Remove this one as well, and only single jetways with the default airport. This is SU10 Beta, I didn't get to test on SU9.

I have the same issue, it seems to be conflicting with the default airport.

Look carefully and you will see F-18's, Chinooks and Neptunes as static aircraft.

Can you make a version that doesn't need 5000 dependencies or at least only uses the ones available in the marketplace, please?

Appreciate making Townsville Airport a bit better but the static planes are horrible.
If you really want them they should be facing the correct way at the gates firstly and second if you want to stop them jittering or jumping around don't have them on snap to ground, set the height manually.
Other than random A380s at YBTL the airport is much nicer.

really good job and a much needed improvement.
as already mentioned those static aircraft should go if possibe, they really dont belong where they are, and in my version anyway the the static aircraft are parked backwards into the jetways.
having said that, great job and thankyou for your time in doing this!!!

Hi and thanks for the wonderful update , it brings more realism to the airport. My only dislike of the update is all the static planes, so sadly will not use the update until static planes are gone.

Having had 21 years of service in the RAAF and spent 3 years in total at YBTL in the 70s I really do appreciate this offering. Thank you so much and if you have any plans for further RAAF bases, I would love them.
