Just uploaded to my website, and available for download,...................
NCRG Rarotonga International Airport, Cook Islands. Welcome to Rarotonga International Airport, in the beautiful pacific paradise of the Cook Islands. This scenery is a complete rebuild for FSX of my old FS9 (FS2004) scenery, and uses a lot of objects from the original, as well as FSX specific objects, and is more detailed than the original. The scenery also contains a separate landclass file which vastly improves the over-forested look of Microsoft's original FSX landclass for the island of Rarotonga. A few pics snapped off during building of the scenery,...................          Lawrie.  --------------------   CONTACT : snowman@nzff.org South Pacific FlightSim Scenery http://nzff.org/forum/index.php?showforum=30 |

Hiya Ian. I also have the RB Cooks FS2004 scenery, and had it up and running in FSX a long time ago. If i remember rightly, this scenery will work in the RB Cooks scenery, although i currently have it de-activated, preferring the landclass file thats included in the download with my scenery. Best to keep VLC for NZ activated as well, as many of the trees in the scenery are from VLC, and the surrounding autogen trees look better using the VLC ones, as opposed to Microsofts ones,................

Looks good Lawrie! We were there in September - the outside of the arrival facade has changed a wee bit, here's our pic after landing taken about 1am, of course we departed when it was dark too so didn't get any daytime pics of the airport

The pic was taken first week of September 2011. The outside of the arrivals area seems to be the only finished bit, the inside still looks old, however there were parts of the departure area that looked fairly new, but it was raining and past midnight so didn't linger around too long. Gutted I don't have FSX installed - have you got a FS9 version of this Lawrie?

Gutted I don't have FSX installed - have you got a FS9 version of this Lawrie? Gudday Matt,........ Yeah, the pics i was working from are about 2 years old. If i could get a good set of pics of the new additions, i could modify the scenery and add them. YES, there is an FS9 version of the scenery on my website here,........ http://fs-snowman.com/index.php?ind=downlo...iew&iden=38 There are also many others i did for the Cook Islands as well on my website. Bear in mind, they will ONLY work if you have the RBE Cook Islands 20m mesh & topo installed in FS9. They WONT work in default. Most of the Cooks in default is in the wrong places, and these airports will end up out in the water or other ugly things in default.
