AFCAD For YSSY

Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY) receives an upgraded AFCAD for FSX, with optional crosswind runway 7/25 operations to keep all three runways active for departures and arrivals. Refined parking and gates including A380 stands, updated taxiways and signage, rebuilt service roads, extra ground vehicles and fuel trucks, plus a lighted helipad and control-tower views improve day-to-day traffic flow.

Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY), Sydney, Australia. This airport was designed with the latest version of ADE (Airport Design Editor) and made only for the FSX default airport: one file with the Crosswind runway 7/25 activated where all 3 runways will be used for takeoff/landing and one file as the default runway operation: assigned parking with extra parking, gates added for the A380, taxiways and taxi signs updated, extra fuel trucks, support vehicle roads rebuilt, lighted helipad with the area buildings and many other improvements. Airport views are from inside the control tower (when in tower view). Please view the readme before installation. By Ray Smith.

There are 3 BGL files: YSSY_ADE_RS.BGL, YSSY_ADE_CW_RS.BGL and a YSSY_ADE_OBJ.BGL file.

Runway Operation Files:

  • The YSSY_ADE_RS.BGL file is the same as the default runway operation.
  • The YSSY_ADE_CW_RS.BGL file is with the Xwind runway 7/25 activated where both runways will be used simultaneously.

Assigned parking is the same in both files.

To Install:

If you are using my earlier version please remove/delete these files first or overwrite them, if you would rather keep them remove them to another folder not associated with FSX.

  1. Take the YSSY_RS.BGL file of your choice (only one) and place this file into: Flight Simulator X/Addon Scenery/scenery folder.
  2. Take the YSSY_ADE_OBJ.BGL file and place it into: Flight Simulator X/Scenery/Global/scenery folder.
  3. There are jetway extensions, and to see these you need to add the textures for them, please follow these steps:
  • NOTE: If you have already done this with any of my other airports then this step is not necessary.
  1. Browse to the FSX\Scenery\NAME\Texture folder. Go down the list until you see jfk_jetway.dds (day texture) and jfk_jetway_LM.dds (night texture).
  2. "COPY" them from that folder and "PASTE" them into the Scenery\Global\Texture folder.
  3. Start up the Flight Sim and the changes will be present.
  • NOTE: PLEASE ONLY USE ONE OF THE YSSY_RS.BGL FILES AT ANY TIME. I.E. Make sure there is only ONE YSSY_RS.BGL FILE in the Addon Scenery/scenery folder at any time, remove/delete any other YSSY.bgl to avoid incorrect aircraft parking and other airport conflicts.
  • If you have any AI Traffic Addons please make sure they have "NOT" installed another AFCAD for this airport as this will also cause a conflict.
  • NOTE: When using ATIS with the YSSY_ADE_CW_RS.BGL file you will hear the fake runways as well as the airport runways, this is the method used in activating non parallel runways and should be ignored or if preferred use the version YSSY_ADE_RS.BGL.

To Uninstall:

  1. Delete/remove the BGL files and the default airport will then be active.

Enjoy and happy flying.

    Why do some structures are having this transparent appearance after we install this Airport update with the file that is for more gates and more parking and gates for heavy aircraft?

    I followed the instructions as you say here if we did the jfk_jetway.DDS (day texture) and jfk_jetway_LM.dds (night texture) step one's, we do not have to do it again every time we install this add for FSX and FSX Steam Edition airports?
