Impulse Simulations has announced a release date for their rendition of Port Lincoln Airport (YPLC) for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024. With this release, Impulse Simulations brings simmers to the South Australian coastal town of Port Lincoln, known for being a hot tourist destination for scuba divers and fishers.
About Port Lincoln Airport
Port Lincoln Airport (YPLC) is an airport located about 13 kilometers north of Port Lincoln in South Australia. The airport is primarily served by Qantas Link and Rex, with almost all flights arriving and departing from Adelaide. In 2013, the airport was renovated with architecture that was inspired by Port Lincoln’s coastline and landscapes.
Features
Impulse Simulations’ rendition of the airport is set to include an accurately modeled terminal as well as an interior. A plethora of hand-placed objects, custom models, assets, and static setups have also been included.
The environment and surroundings have not been left out with the inclusion of improved terrain and vegetation, enhanced surrounding terrain and coastal blending, and 15cm custom orthoimagery.
The team has also included realistic ground and apron texturing, with the airport layout and markings being accurate as of December 2024.
Custom night lighting has been included for the terminal and the apron and high-quality PBR textures have been crafted for the airport.
Other features include custom animations, a GSX profile, and optimized performance for both PC and Xbox.
Imminent Release
With the beta testers’ feedback and the interior being completed, Impulse Simulations’ Port Lincoln is set to be released on Friday, August 8, with more screenshots and a trailer to come on Monday, August 4. While no price has been announced yet, the product may be purchased from Impulse Simulation’s website upon release.
