Hello,

YBBN is a FS2024 exclusive product and we currently have no plans of back-porting it to FS2020. Can you please provide references regarding the lights?

Thank you very much

well i was on a real flight from emerald into brisbane at night a week ago i posted a video of the landing on youtube if you would like to see it and also the current orbx msfs2020 version is closer to to real life lights except for the colour and brightness.

Hi Eddie,

Frostynut doesn't know what he's talking about with regards to the airport lighting, he's referring to his phone footage which is inaccurate to real life.  I grew up at YBBN literally as my father was a Flight Engineer at Ansett Airlines on Boeing 727's and 767's (only airline to use an FE on the 767's).  I'm also a real world pilot and professional film producer/director and I have 35 years of imaging specialty especially with color correction and also have been not only a user of FS since version 1.0 when it was Sublogic, but I was on the beta team for FSX, and Flight Sim Design Advisory board for FS11 under Paul Lange at ACES and I wrote about 1/2 of the game design documents for Dovetail Games Flight Simulator Flight School and Flight Simulator World (which ended up over at Asobo when Microsoft took the franchise back).  So I'm very well versed not only with the simulator, but also CASA Manual of Standards and all the real world specifications for the lights.

The taxiway edge lights are most definitely blue, the centerline lights are green as per CASA specifications.  They most definitely are not cyan green at all.  I've been out on the runways and taxiways both at YBBN and YBAF and also YAMB and have close up reference photos and video of them.

Please don't believe someone off the street, you've most definitely got the colors right.  Smartphone footage cannot be trusted for accurate colors on the CIE color chart.  Professional cinema cameras like the RED Cinema and ARRI Alexa cameras can.

Kindest Regards,

Dean Mountford.
