The Sandstone (RFDS Emergency) airstrip - Y0SQ, located on the Agnew-Sandstone Road in Western Australia is 93nm from Meekatharra (YMEK) and 200nm from Kalgoorlie (YPKG), the nearest RFDS (Western Operations) opertational bases.
Emergency airstrips utlised by the RFDS provide an emegency landing area when access to medical facilities by road may not be viable due to flooding of roads or distance/time constraints; or construction of a permanent landing area isn't feasible due to the limited usage.

Dependencies:
- RFDS Library
- World Update VII: Australia
- UK Emergency Models Library
- Camper library
- Dave's 3D People Library
- Mikea.at - AssetPack
Known Issues:
- AI vehicles still use the road. To remove go to: Menu > General Options > Traffic. Then under "Land and Sea Traffic", set "Road Vehicles" to 0. Once there is a fix for the scenery, I will implement it.
- Vegetation needs extensive updating. I've fixed some of it, but there is a lot more work to do for it to be representative of the area.
- Emergency vehicles are from the UK. Will hopefully get some Australian (and jurisdiction/state/territory specific) emergency vehicles soon.
Changelog:
0.1: Initial release.

For some odd reason this mod kills all default airport ground services
MrRick
Would you be able to add some A/c parking (maybe where the windsock is) with a radius of 9m so I can get my PC12 AI to land there?

I've added it to the roadmap and I'll look into it. Cheers.
