I and looking for airport scenery of Perth and Melbourne. I found a freeware scenery of Melbourne, but I didn't like it that much and didnt find any scenery for Perth. Is there any payware products for these airports?

Sadly, no there aren't. We're a little neglected down here. I'd be more than happy to pay for some quality Aussie airports!

John, Joseph...These guys have been promising Perth for quite a while and there are some excellent screenshots on their site.Hopefully soon...http://www.westsim.com.au/index.htmlCheers,Chris Porter:-outtaPerthWestern AustraliaIntel Pentium IV 3.0GHz (800FSB) Socket 478 pins CPU w/Hyper-Thread Technology MSI 875P NEO FIS2R, AGP 8X, i875P ICH5R Chipset with Gigiabit LanKingmax 512MB PC3200 Double Data Rate (DDR) RAM CAS-2.5- 400MHz Rated x 2BUILT By ATI (Original) Radeon 9800PRO w/TV Out & DVI 128Meg DDRTEAC DV-W50E, 4x DVD-R/ 2x RW, 16xCD-R, 8xCD-RW, 16xDVD, 32x CD-ROM Internal Drive Only Western Digital Raptor 36.0GB HDD IDE, 8MB Cache, 5.2ms, 10,000rpm , S-ATA, w/DataLifeguard WD 40Gig HD for dataATX 470W Pentium IV Power Supply CESkyhawk Jupiter Aluminum CaseHyundai -ImageQuest P910 , 19" Multi-Scan Digital MonitorHercules Game Theater XP, 6.1 speakers Dolby

There are a few files for Perth for FS2002. Trevis Lawton has done two versions of the CBD; and Michael Pookbooncherd, who lives there, has done Perth City. Claude Schmidt has done the airport as freeware in great detail and several other significant airports in Australia, including Port Hedland which is a nice little jaunt up the coast from YPPH.Sorry to hear you don't like the Melbourne scenery, though. There's some great stuff out there for the whole of the Victoria and NSW regions; particularly if you load up the SATPAC mesh and make sure you have landclass installed. There are plenty of Aus flightsim sites, as you must know, that list all this stuff. If not, shout.Mark "Dark Moment" BeaumontP.S. When you say 'neglected', John, I guess that you mean by the payware boys. The amount and quality of freeware scenery for Australia is more than anyone could expect, in my view. Particularly, in the Sydney area; there are excellent renditions of many local airports in that area for VFR flying.http://www.swiremariners.com/newlogo.jpg

I would rush to buy some good textures for Oz that actually look like Oz ...http://www.fsd-international.com/team/stev...angatta-300.jpghttp://www.fsd-international.com/team/stev...hydro_1-300.jpghttp://www.fsd-international.com/team/stev...y_river-300.jpghttp://www.fsd-international.com/team/stev...ate_vic-300.jpghttp://www.fsd-international.com/team/stev...nadatta-300.jpghttp://www.fsd-international.com/team/stev...ndal_nt-300.jpghttp://www.fsd-international.com/team/stev...rmanton-300.jpg.....Steve SmallCanberra, Australiahttp://www.fsd-international.com/team/Steve_signature.gif

I liked the Melbourne scenery(ymml2003.zip) itself (the buildings and stuff) but I didn't like all the static aircraft put into the scenery. They looked out of place (like the Ansett new colors L1011 static plane)

Mark, when I say neglected I do mean by payware guys such as Simflyers :) You're right, there is some excellent freeware scenery for some areas of Australia. But I'd like to see some capital cities done.Sydney isn't too bad in FS2004, FS2002 was pretty neglected, Samsofts version was pretty ordinary IMO. Adelaide and Brisbane have some excellent freeware airport and city scenery available, but most other areas aren't covered with any decent detail. There is a nice Coolongatta, I know of the Melbourne & Perth scenery for the CBDs, but alas there is no good scenery for those airports. Kudos to Claude Schmidt for trying to create some airports, but they're way off the mark in accuracy sadly :(Jeff Stayner is working on a nice YMML, but its going to be a while before completion. That leaves places like Canberra, Perth, Townsville etc etc.

Hi!Moorabin scenery from ausim is one of the best freeware, it works with fs9 too.

Yup, like the piddling little farm/paddock boundaries. Looks like something out of pommyland in the middle of the WA bush.Also a more general thing with the night textures for roads in the middle of the desert :-)Pity PC Aviator chooses to do somewhere else but home first. I guess its all about the dollars. I don't know why they would want to get into an already crowded market whereas Oz would be all theirs if they did something decent.Cheers and thanks for the pics Steve.Chris Porter:-outtaPerthWestern Australia

PC Aviator doesn't commision anyone to do the products. They simply market them :)

'K so who does Megascenery then?CheersChris Porter:-outtaPerthWestern Australia
