Edward River Airport, often referred to as Pormpuraaw Airport, is a public airfield serving the Aboriginal community of Pormpuraaw (pronounced porm-pure-ow) on the west coast of the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland. Flights to and from the airport have stunning views of the Cape York Peninsula and the Gulf of Carpentaria. The airfield sits 250km south of Weipa, 300km north of Karumba and Normanton, and 500km NW of Cairns. It is served by Skytrans Airlines with regularly scheduled flights to Kowanyama and Cairns; as well as private, charter, and medical flights to the area.
The main focus here was to fix the runway material and update the airfield to reflect recent construction and general improvements. This scenery uses all stock assets, you don't need to download anything else for it to work.
Version 1.0:
- Corrected runway material, added edge lighting and custom runway markings
- Fixed windsock locations and pads
- Added gables and cones around runways and apron
- Fixed apron shape, painted lines, and added light poles to reflect recent construction since Bing imagery was taken
- Fixed stand and parking locations on the apron
- Removed blurry autogen roads near the airport
- Removed airport service vehicles
- Updated the carpark to the newer one post construction
- Removed trees from inside the airfield, from the ends of the runway, and from the beach
- Misc. scenery and vegetation fixes/additions
Known Issues:
- No perimeter fence until Asobo adds a fence tool
- The airport may be adding blue taxiway lighting, but I couldn't find definitive information. I'll add them in the future if the information is updated.
If I've overlooked anything or you have any suggestions, please leave a comment.
Thanks, and enjoy!
