A thing about SYD Squad is that they go to different airports to film sometimes so presumably that wasn’t SYD that they were in. 
(For the Aer Lingus)

Let me clarify the name, it isn’t Aero Lingus , it’s Aer Lingus.
Does anyone know where the freight terminals are?
Spotted one at T1, but is that all? How many stands do you think we can expect?

It was probably just auto correct. I’ve had that happen to me.

I think there is 2. The one you found then this one
I mean as most cargo goes in the hold of Qantas aircraft
I still think there will be around 10 cargo stands.
All can have small 7 medium and 3 large and XL (just my guess dont quote me on it.)

The beach planespotting bit maybe but the second picture no.
The aircraft there are jetstar. They are just remote stands.
With regards to Shep’s Mound…
Super Sydney Plane Spotting @ Shep’s Mound! Live Plane Spotting Highlights (youtube.com)
The first “beach planespotting” is definitely cargo, look at the equipment around the aircraft. Definitely looks like trucks with ULDs on them.

I don’t know a lot about this but this contradicts what I’ve seen at SYD International Terminal.
If have a deeper look into the planes on the satellite images they are all passenger planes from Qantas. You may also spot a QANTAS 100 livery.
I also remember I’ve seen an EK A388 on one of those stands last year when I flew back to my home country.
I probably trust your firsthand experience more than the satellite imagery. It also could be pax/cargo stands like B4 and B5 at SXM, unfortunately we don’t have those in game. My bet with pax/cargo is cargo as there’s less cargo only in SYD then they probably want, and in other situations (like SXM) they’ve chosen cargo.

I think so, there are many stands in airports that can be used differently while that is a point I’d like to see in this game in the future.
I don’t really know that much about Sydney does Qantas only fly out of one of the terminals and is their a separate one for international flights outside Aus & NZ?
There’s a domestic and a international terminal.

Yes as you said that I had a look on flight radar seems Terminal 2 is Jetstar and Virgin Australia, And Terminal 3 Qantas.
Also gonna watch some of these as well https://youtube.com/@sydsquad?si=tjjIGKd2OttQkde9
Hi Providing more info as SYD local to clarify some things
Basically all the remote stands are mixed Pax/Cargo use depending on time of day. Cargo aircraft are normally only around in the afternoon with the occasional overnight. They would use stands 1-12 on the international side next to the International Cargo Terminal and also 83-85 near the tip of RWY16R.
These stands would be occupied by Pax aircraft during the morning peak as there are not enough gates with multiple aircraft normally found waiting for a gate sometimes upwards of an hour
The remote stands 71-77 south of RWY07/25 (Near Beach Planespotting) are long layover parking and I’ve never seen them used for turnarounds. Same for the Kilo Apron stands 120-121 (Shep’s Mound).
The DOM4, DOM5, and DOM6 aprons are normally just overnight parking or used for VIP movements, the cargo facilities surrounding are just to process belly cargo for the domestic carriers.
T1 is all International operations
T2 is Virgin, Jetstar, and REX plus smaller domestic operators
T3 is Qantas and QantasLink

Thank you!
It’s great that the forum brings together so many people from all over the world. You must be hyped that your home airport is finally being integrated into the game.
I hope it will come into game as realistically as possible.
