Cooktown Airport is a public airfield serving Cooktown in Far North Queensland. The airport is about 7km NW of the town, and about 175km NW of Cairns. It is served by Skytrans and Hinterland Aviation with regularly scheduled flights to Cairns, as well as regional charters, medical flights, Queensland Police Service flights. Due to it's proximity to much of the middle section of the Great Barrier Reef, the airport also serves as a base for both sightseeing tours and Australian Customs & Border Patrol flights. There are plenty of opportunities to explore the interesting areas around the airport, both on land and at sea.
The main focus with this scenery was to fix the runway materials and update some of the scenery. This airport is midway through a major planned upgrade scheme, which means this scenery will eventually need a major update whenever the second phase of work is completed. This scenery uses all stock assets, you don't need to download anything else for it to work.
Version 1.1:
- Added map star for airport
- Removed trees from the end of runway 11
- Other minor vegetation fixes
- Minor scenery fixes
Version 1.0:
- Improved runway surface, added edge lighting and custom runway markings
- Added new taxiway adjacent to the runway (I plan to update this in the future when it's expanded further and the other end is connected to the runway)
- Fixed windsock locations and pads
- Added gables and cones around runways and apron
- Fixed apron shape and painted lines
- Fixed stand and parking locations on the apron
- Added taxiway edge lighting
- Removed blurry autogen roads near the airport
- Added the NDB masts and equipment immediately southeast of the apron
- Removed airport service vehicles
- Misc. scenery and vegetation fixes/additions
Known Issues:
- No perimeter fence (won't happen until Asobo develops a fence tool)
- Minor ground texture issues
