Brisbane Airport v2
On the same day, Orbx has announced the development of a new version of their rendition of Brisbane International Airport (YBBN) for Prepar3D v4.4 and higher. The scenery has been completely overhauled by the Orbx team from in Havant.
Based on the forum post made by the developer, the new version of the airport will feature a considerable number of updates since the original release of the scenery back in 2010, over 10 years ago. The new version is being built using the latest technologies that were not available back then, such as PBR textures.
Once released, the scenery will feature custom SODE jetways, VDGS integration, accurate and up-to-date airport layout, color-corrected orthoimagery for the airport area, or compatibility with Australia v2 scenery, for example.
Orbx further said that this will be their most-detailed Australian airport yet. There will be a 50% discount for owners of Brisbane Airport v1 upon release of the new version. While the release date was not announced, it was said, that the scenery is close to being released.
At last, it was mentioned, that the Microsoft Flight Simulator version of the scenery is currently being developed. No further information was shared on that topic.
