This Leinster airport in Australia. All most airports that I landed at in Career mode in Australia have very similar landscape color.

Do a ping to your next server. If it takes more than 5mins, MSFS might be right :smiley:

We Australians are accustomed to that red colour in much of thr outback, especially in Western Australia where Leinster is located. It’s often referred to as “the red centre” and tourists love to protograph feature like big rocks in late afternoon sunset light - very red indeed.
The cause is a large amount of iron oxide in the soil, which brings our country a tidy income as exports by the shipload of dirt and rocks which become car bodies and steel structures etc in time.
For more of it have a look at the airport and scenery at YAYE Conelan (Uluru Airport), the redness is a tourist industry asset around there.
