Mornington Island Airport is a public airport on (you guessed it) Mornington Island, with incredible views of the coast of North West Queensland and the Gulf of Carpentaria. It sits immediately NW of the island's principle town of Gununa (which is how the how the airport is sometimes referred to on schedules) and 450km north of Mount Isa. The airport is served by Regional Express with regular flights to Burketown, Cairns, Doomadgee, Mount Isa, and Normanton, as well as frequent charter and medical flights to support clinics for the islands' communities.
The main focus here was to modernize the scenery to more accurately reflect the airport after recent construction. This includes the closure of the dirt runway and the expansion of the apron. This scenery uses all stock assets, you don't need to download anything else for it to work.
Version 1.0:
- Corrected the material and appearance of runway 09/27, including more accurate turnaround areas, gables,custom runway markings, and edge lighting
- Removed the gables and cones from runway 12/30 and added painted Xs to denote closure
- Extended both sides of the apron to include the new parking areas, and updated the painted lines to match
- Corrected the parking stand locations to reflect the new parking areas
- Removed trees from the sides of the runway and the runway 09 threshold
- Removed the blurry autogen roads from near the airport
- Added NDB masts and associated equipment just north of the airport
- Misc. scenery additions and fixes
Known Issues:
- No perimeter fence (won't happen until Asobo develops a fence tool)
- Minor scenery issues in Gununa itself
If I've overlooked anything or you have any suggestions, please leave a comment.
Thanks, and enjoy!

Great work!! Windsocks need to be adjusted 180 degrees
Just landed here with strong S crosswind, windsocks indicated wind coming from the North

Glad you enjoyed it. The problem with the windsocks is a known issue with some versions of the SDK. I've just uploaded a new V1.1 of YMTI that fixes the problem. I'm still working through the rest of my airports fixing it manually. Cheers
