As the title suggests what do you people think about flytampa's YSSY? Is it outdated as of now or still accurate to real world counterpart? 

Although very rare that I buy anything for P3D these days, I am looking to get that as I want start flying old Qantas 747-400 routes in and out of Sydney. 

Any suggestions?

Yes, it is good in P3D v5 (do not use it in P3D v4 - frame rate horror), but a very good performer in v5.  May want to watch texture resolution if you've not good a good amount of VRAM.

Pretty much up-to-date and looks very good.  I would recommend.  I fly QF 747s out of there a lot, so I'll try and share the runway with you every now and again haha!

Its very good in terms of details etc. I recently discovered I only had v1 so bought the upgrade and glad I did. I use the lossless scaling application so frames are a non issue. I have yet to fly there IRL so unsure of how up to date v2 is compared to real deal.

Yeah V1 I think is older version which was available on both FSX/P3D, v2 is upgraded version for P3D 4/5 only 

V2 is solid.  I use it with Cityscape Sydney and Australia v2.  Performs well on my modest system and looks great.

For those who have AUS2 the YSSY Land Class layer needs disabling to eliminate horrible texture effects around Sydney.

Well I got it anyway - looks good and performance is steady on my RIG. All taxiway markings also seem to correlate with current charts which is good sign. Looking forward in doing more flights in southern hemisphere. 

 

 

Keep your eyes peeled for the shark in Botany Bay.  You might see while you taxi down A to 34L

I would be more concerned about clobbering a "bin chicken".

So, it's you that pushes me out of the way on 34L. Ah-ha. As you say, it seems to be up to date, at least on the International side, as far as I remember from 2 years ago.

My rig has to have settings lowered tremendously, so as not to get an OoM.

"For those who have AUS2 the YSSY texture layer needs disabling to eliminate horrible texture effects around Sydney."

Where is this texture layer found and what does it correct when disabled?

FlyTampa Sydney has two entries in Scenery Library. Check scenery.cfg and change the status of the Land Class layer from Enabled to Disabled.

Keeping it active will result in a real visual mess. It will be obvious around Sydney city centre.

Hi Ray,

Did you mean this entry in scenery.cfg?

[Area.409]
Title=Fly Tampa Sydney
Local=E:\Lockheed Martin P3D V5.4\FlyTampa\Sydney
Layer=409
Active=TRUE
Required=FALSE

Do you mean change "true to false" in active line, you wrote "enabled to disabled"?

I can only see one Flytampa entry in this cfg file?

Regards Terry

No, that's the FT scenery layer. I have two entries for Sydney. It's the LandClass entry that needs disabling only if you have AUSv2 as they clash otherwise.
