    Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport (IATA: WSI, also known as Western Sydney Airport, Western Sydney International Airport, or Badgerys Creek Airport) is an international airport currently under construction in the suburbs of Luddenham and Badgerys Creek, New South Wales, Australia located 43 kilometres west of Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport. The first stage of construction on the new airport began on 24 September 2018.

    Ground: 80 m or 262 feet above mean sea level

    Runway 05-23

    Magnetic Variance 12.66 degree at end of 2026

    Glide Slope 3 degree

    ILS IDs and frequencies (fictitious) are:

    IXNW 110.500 MHz for 05

    IXNE 110.300 MHz for 23

    Fictitious waypoints at start of base legs:

    WSINA for 23 at 5000 MSL

    WSIWA for 05 at 6000 MSL

    There are two fictitious SIDs and four fictitious STARs with Enroute Transitions.

    Parking spots:

    1) Ramps #91-99 for cargo

    2) Ramps #14-18 and #26-30 for passengers without jetways

    3) Gates #19-25 for passengers with jetways

    4) Fuel #13F, #31F, and #99F for small propeller

    Other features:

    1) Communication frequencies (fictitious)

    2) Passenger terminal building

    3) Freight Centre

    4) Explore yourself

    Aircraft for my testing (e.g. missed approach, etc.) are:

    1) B747-8i (Salty stable version 0.6.0)

    2) A320neo (FBW stable version 0.14.0)

    3) A380X (FBW stable 4K version 0.14.0)

    4) Cessna 172 Skyhawk

    Its all good. I found a way of getting around the 'file size too large' and so don't need to addon via Modman.

    Thank you for testing for about one month. I am glad that you could resolve the problem. I don't use Modman and hence do not know the situation.

    Thank you for downloading and testing. You face similar situation as the previous comment from the other simmer. He has not replied after my response. It looks ok on my side. Please update update all files including content manager and graphics card driver. I will look into the source code in the next few days and see whether there are any prerequisites. Sorry for any inconveniences caused to you.

    I have it working. When I attempted to copy the extra ct folder to my community folder I got an error 'filename too long' (which has been a bugbear of mine for a long time). I had then decided to install the zipped file using ModMan which worked but with pink 'textures (ie not found). I decided to rename the extract folder to "WSWS Western Sydney" and it then copied and voila I see all the textures - no pink. Maybe you could add a comment somewhere suggesting to users to rename the extracted folder (to a short name) if they encounter "file too long" error.

    Thanks for updating your airport. IT means more now that the first B737 has landed and taken off. HOWEVER I seem to be missing some textures as some parts of the terminal are rendered pink especially the roofs. I am using it with MSFS2020.

    There will be no VOR or NDB at this airport, only ILS. I would not go to the trouble of adding anything like that

    Thank for your recommendation. I will remove them in my next version 0.8.0.

    I cannot get the latest update/version 0.6.0 to display in MSFS. Tried everything I can think of yet when I enter YSSW for the departure airport MSFS does not find it. The previous version worked ok.

    YSWS is the official ICAO announced recently. YSSW is ficititious one before official announcement of YSWS.

    Something really weird happens when I install this and the previous version. Firstly I cannot unzip and copy the unzipped folder to the community folder as I get "file names too long" so I add it to ModMan which installs a zip file (no need to unzip) and after than most of the buildings are displayed in pink which happens when texture files are missing. I get around that by unzipping and renaming the unzipped folder to say Western_Sydney and copy to the Community folder. All then works ok. Not your fault but just letting you know. Thanks again for this airport which I suspect you will update when required.

    Thanks for creating YSSW. It looks good.
    As 05R/18L won't be developed for some time maybe add the 'red cross' at each end to signify out of use (there probably is a way in Devmode to select this - can't remember).
    Also do you intend to update your airport with the release of updated Google Earth satellite images and/or images of the airport building now that is almost complete?
    If I get the time and the inclination, I will create Custom Aerial Imagery using satellite imagery to add the current ground 'texture', which changes often during construction, and let you know.
    Did you know that the ILS is type CAT III-B (I haven't yet checked how you have it set up or in fact that it can be set up that way in MSFS).
