Jordan Gough Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Hey everyone, I'm very happy to introduce the next Australian airport for Prepar3D - YTYA Tyabb Airport! Tyabb has been my real-life home aero club for the last two and a half years, and I'm thrilled to be able to bring this fantastic aerodrome to Prepar3D. Only a 10 minute flight from Moorabbin, and a 15 minute flight to the Melbourne CBD, Tyabb is the perfect place to start or end a scenic flight around Melbourne, or practice your landings on the narrow 8 meter wide main runway. A small army of warbirds proudly owned by the Old Aeroplane Company call the airfield home, including one of two airworthy P-40F Warhawks. Every two years, Tyabb hosts one of Australia's most popular country airshows, attracting over 10,000 visitors and dozens of unique and rare aircraft from all eras. The airshow is a charity event, with money raised going directly to a nominated charity, as well as local organisations such as the CFA and sports clubs. Features: Highly detailed rendition of YTYA Tyabb Airport made from hundreds of onsite photos and days of on-site development 85 square kilometres of 60cm per pixel photoreal imagery Aerodrome area in exquisite 10cm per pixel photoreal Custom POIs including those used in the circuit - Bunnings, Bluescope Steel and Flinders College Full suite of ObjectFlow, PeopleFlow2, NatureFlow and more Heavy optimisation techniques to ensure best performance with high resolution textures Only minutes away from other Victorian Orbx airports such as YMMB Moorabbin and YMEN Essendon Blends seamlessly with our Australia region YTYA Tyabb Airport will be available to purchase from OrbxDirect soon for AUD $24.95 (approx. USD $17.90 / €15.75 / £13.90) but will be released straight into the End of Year Sale at 15% off! For the best experience, we recommend purchasing and installing our Australia region prior to using YTYA. Please note that this product was developed for Prepar3D only - FSX is unfortunately not supported at this time Coverage Area: And now the rest of the previews - enjoy! Cheers, Jordan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flsm (Frank) Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I cannot belive it - my home airport as well! There is a great freeware version on the Org for XP but I would love it if your version came to XP - what are the chances? BTW, unless already included, the ponds at the northern end of the Downwind leg, and the electricity sub-station mid-downwind, would be great additions for circuit flying. Remember, LH circuits for Rwy 17, but RH circuits for Rwy 17. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripcord Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Well now here is a pleasant surprise. Thanks Jordan, this will be a most welcome addition. Looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddler Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Another great one Jordan! I drove by it a few years back on my trip to Australia and it was one day before the airshow so lots of activity. Wonderful Christmas gift. Thanks for your wonderful work.

flsm (Frank) Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 And here is the real YTYA Tyabb from a post I made on the XP Org last year. Cheers. Posted May 27, 2017 My mate Craig finally agreed to go for a flight with me in a hired Cessna 172. He normally is very macho, always laughing, joking and generally mucking around, never keeping still. I did not find out until after the flight just how scared he was ..... apparently he told his partner on the way to the airport that she would have to go up with me because he just could not do it! Anyway, he forced himself to do it. Pic 1 - me explaining things to Craig before the flight ..... I have never seem him so still and so serious. Pic 2 - in flight Pic 3 - a much relieved and happy Craig after the flight. He absolutely loved it and bores everyone talking about it all the time!

VH-KDK Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Fantastic news Jordan, yeah did the airshow a few years ago now and I can remember a lot of the airport from looking at the images. A wonderful starting point for exploring the coastal region of Victoria especially The Prom! Is this the writing is on the wall for FSX? A very generous offer too with this fine scenery straight into the sale, thanks for that. I think you have only done Tyabb to drag me away from XP-11!

Aussie123 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Nice package Jordan! It is a hard to avoid Christmas present with that discount. Very good detail. 'Lower prices are just the beginning' around the corner. I also note, from the close up shots, the Landing Charges are quite reasonable as well. Have to visit. I went people spotting but could only find two. (Must have been a weekday) Aussie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussieflyer38 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Great shots Jordan, reaching for my CC. I'm a Melbournian living in Qld and do a lot of flying in Vic, keeps me in touch, did my PPL at Moorabbin, so Tyabb what a great addition. Thanks heaps.

Time Traveller Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Wow! This is awesome news. This is my home airport! Now I can fly my home airport every day of the week. You've done an awesome job and am particularly impressed by the fact that you've also modelled an extensive amount of the surrounding area. Well done - very much looking forward to it.

StarBlue Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 While it is not my home airport or even continent, however, I am glad to see Orbx hasn't given up on P3D products. I love large area sceneries so will have to keep an eye out for this one. To me it seems like every new product coming out is for 1) XP11, 2) AS2, 3) that other sim again.... oh yeah P3D.

I think this is a TEMPORARY situation. JV has said several times that they are committed to all Sim platforms and they are currently gearing up and recruiting to do just that. Cheers.

skydivemayday Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 How's this looking? I'll totally be buying this one the moment it's out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dow Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 3 hours ago, skydivemayday said: How's this looking? I'll totally be buying this one the moment it's out. During testing it was revealed that Jordan had used ISO1760A standard reinforcing mesh in the concrete of the apron areas instead of the ISO1760B thicker reinforcing that is mandated for airports south of latitude 36 degrees. So Jordan has had to dig up all the old concrete and lay fresh concrete, and of course it takes a while to attain full strength. As soon as it has cured sufficiently and the airport is safe to taxi your aircraft in, I believe it will be ready for release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
