WORK IN PROGRESS 0.6 - PLEASE DELETE OLD FILE AND INSTALL Both new files to community
Toowoomba Wellcamp is listed as its original name of Brisbane West Wellcamp Airport in MSFS under the same ICAO code of YBWW. Due to old Bing maps data and being such a new airport it is little more than a grass strip in the simulator. I felt it was an important airport to be added since the new QANTAS pilot academy run by FTA adelaide has recently been opened.
As such I have imported google maps aerial data which in itself appears to be a little out of date for the current state of the airport and have begun construction of the airfield from the ground up.
I have tried to replicate the ground markings as accurately as possible including with custom lines.
I have yet to even scratch the surface in terms of custom buildings but felt a semi workable airport was worthy of the first upload.
Rest assured I will be further developing this airport as much as possible. If anyone has any additional photos including the FTA pilot training facility I would love to receive a PM
0.6
-recompiled with latest SDK
-DEM data used for runway profiling and apron elevation
0.5 (I have split the aerial and airport into 2 files. Please delete old file from community and install new ones)
-compiled with the latest 0.12 SDK
-completed perimeter fence (PITA)
-Teraformed parts of the airport so it is not so visually flat
If people are experiencing a CTD on loading the airport this for me was due to other sceneries containing materiallibs having common names in subsequent folders (i.e Textures). To solve this I gave all subsequent folders inside materiallibs unique names by adding the airport icao code to the front eg. Textures becomes YCABTextures then I needed to edit the layout.json file using notepad+ to update all instances with the new unique name. This appears to be a new bug in the latest msfs version.
0.4 (requires additional common asset packs as per dependencies)
-Incorporated Terminal building and cargo facilities designed by project max originally for P3D. (special thanks to PROJECT MAX for the kind donation)
-further developed FTA traing facilities with accurate apron (special thanks to Daniel for the blueprint!)
-fixed wind sock direction and light for night time
-fixed fuel truck!
-removed runway touch down and centre lighting as per reality
-various other fixes and tidy ups
0.3
0.2 (now requires common asset packs as per dependencies)
-fixed ground services (except for fuel truck)
-new apron markings and object clutter
-commenced cargo apron area markings
0.1:
- google maps aerial
-Runway with markings and papi lights
-Workable taxiway system
-basic apron and custom markings
-basic FTA pilot academy hanger location (at this stage generic hangar)
Airport Information:
Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport (IATA: WTB, ICAO: YBWW) is an airport in Wellcamp, 8.4 nautical miles (15.6 km; 9.7 mi) west from the CBD of Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. It was known as Brisbane West Wellcamp Airport until November 2017
The airport and an associated aviation and business park is the brainchild of the Wagner family, a business family prominent in the Toowoomba region. It is the first major greenfield public airport development in Australia since Melbourne Airport opened in 1970. It is also the first privately funded major airport in the country.
The airport is rated at Code E and with its 2,870-metre (9,416 ft) long by 45-metre (148 ft) wide runway can handle aircraft the size and weight of the Boeing 747-400 and Boeing 747-8. The airport is estimated to have a catchment area of 344,000 people and in 2017 handled 157,000 passengers (a 25.9% growth from the previous year), making it the 33rd busiest regional airport in Australia annually.

I was so disappointed with the MS default version. It was the last 747-8 capable airport I needed to complete Australia (according to the Boeing list of compatible airports), but went to land only to see half a runway with a tree growing in the middle of it! You have done a wonderful job, and I saw no problems operating with SU9. I look forward to returning! For future development, I look forward to an area that is clearly "cargo" to take the 747-8F. I do understand the RL airport seems pretty small and straightforward, and I would not expect anything more out of your model. Again, thanks for the great work!

I'm not seeing the main terminal building, just some tables and chairs on a white ground. Is this not compatible with the latest update?

Despite the long process and huge effort of design, drafting, and construction, I don't get the luxury of "using" the airport, so it's great fun to be able to use it in a simulator. 😀
Thanks for the work put in!
