The Orbx team has today taken to their Facebook page to tell the community about the release of Melbourne International Airport (YMML) for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Also known as Tullamarine Airport, it is the primary airport serving the city of Melbourne and it is the second-busiest international airport in the country. It opened in 1970 as a replacement of the nearby Essendon Airport, in which vicinity the headquarters of Orbx is located.
The airport consists of four terminals, one international, two domestic and one budget domestic terminal. Melbourne International offers flights to 33 domestic destinations and destinations in the Pacific, Europe, Asia, North America and South America.
Orbx created a detailed depiction of this airport with realistic ground poly, reflecting the latest airport layout as of May 2023, there are PBR textures across the whole scenery, as well as custom traffic animations and the VDGS system.
In addition to that, there is crisp satellite imagery used for the surrounding area, custom taxiway signs and lighting, over 100 clutter objects and custom points of interest. Lastly, there is also a GSX Pro profile included with the release.
