Drzewiecki Design - YSWS Western Sydney Airport MSFS

YSWS Western Sydney International Airport, officially known as Nancy-Bird Walton International Airport (ICAO: YSWS, IATA: WSI), is Australia’s first major greenfield airport development in decades. Located in the Badgerys Creek and Luddenham region, around 44 kilometers west of Sydney’s central business district, the airport was designed to meet the long-term aviation needs of the Greater Sydney region and the country as a whole. As a curfew-free facility with a masterplanned layout, it represents a new era of connectivity, infrastructure, and opportunity for both passengers and freight.

From its inception, the project was envisioned to relieve pressure on the existing Kingsford Smith Airport, which operates under significant curfew restrictions and is surrounded by dense urban development. Western Sydney Airport offers unrestricted 24-hour operations and has been integrated into one of the most ambitious transport and development plans in the region’s history. At the core of the airport’s first phase is a 3.7-kilometer runway (05/23) paired with a state-of-the-art terminal capable of handling both domestic and international flights. The initial terminal capacity is designed for around five million passengers annually, with future expansion expected to accommodate more than eighty million by the 2060s.

Whether used as a domestic hub, a long-haul gateway, or a cargo operations center, YSWS offers a unique flight simulation experience. It reflects the ambition and scale of modern aviation infrastructure and brings to life a major airport that will shape the future of Sydney and Australia for generations to come.

The YSWS MSFS scenery sets a new standard for realism and performance. Built with high-resolution drone-derived ground textures, full PBR materials, custom lighting systems, animated service vehicles and metro trains, and hand-crafted interior spaces, every inch of the airport is optimized for both immersion and performance. Static service elements and detailed apron wear add life and realism, while seamless LODs ensure a smooth experience across all systems.
