Any new easter eggs?

Hey, SYD looks amazing! Great that it came much faster than expected! :grimacing:

But I thought SYD had two RWYs for take-off and landing. I currently see one for landing and two for take-off. (Like MCT)

But I thought it would be more like LEJ

THANK YOU for your work!

So far - no

SYD is confusing as they usually follow SODPROPS, with the 16R being used for takeoff, and the 34’s being used for landing, and only 34L for large planes.

All planes from international terminal and cargo are taking off from 16R

I did not expect that they would release this one at the same time with SYD. I was hyped for this add-on, much thanks especially for that one (and for the train at LEJ)

Is it applicable for all types of aircrafts?

I believe so. All planes I’ve seen so far have it.

Yes

Is it only for take off, cause I don’t see the changes on landing.

That appears to be the case, yes.

That is all, TQ

The 238 was active for X tier since a long time for me.

This wasn’t mentioned in the release notes so idk if I’m remembering incorrectly

The Z stands at IAD seem to have had their lines reworked so they aren’t so close to the terminal

Great work to the devs and the PO. Especially the retracting landing gear (I have already complained/suggested this some time ago) and the new orbit camera - awesome.
Can’t wait to play the new airport SYD.
Next highlight to me would be to apply the player name on the aircraft. See my older blog Game UI - Possible features/updates - #16 by OsmundBitter

Thanks guys, awesome work!
