NZFF

Reasonable version for XP11.... actually, reasonable versions of all NZ airports in XP..... just saying :lol: :twisted:

Cheers, Kelvin, I did see the new dataset, it's great to see how far we've come with the available data -- no more hand-drawing autogen houses! Well, except for the areas which are still missing. Yes, LINZ would be the best choice, as the license allows you to do anything you like with it, really. Getting it downloaded and ready to resample is always going to be a bit of a nightmare, but worth it in the end. I was considering doing the country that way for Aerofly FS2, but since Orbx have hinted at TrueEarth NZ, I won't bother. I quite like tinkering as it keeps me out of trouble so until...

Don't worry too much about priority for these, just let the installer handle that. Airports are normally just added to the top of the scenery library. Okay thanks Toprob I'm not sure what you have for Gisborne, though. I am using FSX Deluxe with SP1 and SP2 for this Gisborne scenery that I found on flightsim as seen below: FSX - FSX Scenery FSX Scenery--Gisborne Regional Airport Name: nzgs_gisborne-4x.zip Size: 4,467,215 Date: 06-10-2014 Downloads: 1,525 FSX Scenery--Gisborne Regional Airport. Welcome to Gisborne Regional Airport, situated on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand....

Thanks.

Robin Thanks for the quick feedback - great to know that the root cause is known. I was pulling my hair out yesterday. But have learnt a lot in the process and will keep my sunglasses and hat on whilst flying around Nelson at night for the time being, Best regards Richard

Gave myself a break from trying to adapt Cloudport airfields to new locations. On the IPACS forum, I found there was info on converting FSX/FS9 airport bgls to put into AFS2. This does not put the complete airfield into AFS2 (although it looks as if it could be persuaded to); what it does do is get the airfield on the map in the location screen, and when you select it, you get the diagram to pick your start point, and you are then placed 'on the photo'. The first one I tried was Lawrie's NZTH, and it worked like a charm. Then I tried VLC Whitianga, which didn't, and then old FS9 Coromandel...

By the way, the only old scenery site I'm aware of that's still alive is this one: …..some 2000, 2002 and 2004 stuff there. Goodness, that takes me back! I think that was the very first NZ scenery site I ever looked at. Would have been on FS2002 then! Time flies when you're having fun...

I've just posted details in the Flightbeam forum: Ok, disabled the NZNI scenery (not hard!) and after P3D rebuilt the indexes I switched to NZWN. It crashed at 0% loading.

Here's the old 'Real NZ Rotorua' ToProb, You might think it is old but just would like to let you know that I finished extremely successful installation of your NZRO and saw amazing rich green lands with rich green trees along with amazing terminal, cars, vehicles, buses, hangars with specific company names, rich green water in lakes and rivers, and superb taxiways as well as passenger aprons with cool markings. And it does NOT look old to me. It looks NEW to me especially you put photoreal ground textures around the airport!! Amazing stuff Thanks a zillion for your kindness. Regards, Aharon

ToProb and anyone who wants to use NZMC for FSX, When I said I gave up on NZMC, my mind and my guts still kept telling me not to give up because they kept reminding me that I was NOT born quitter. So I kept rackling my brains and FINALLY figured out how to solve the MYSTERY of finding perfect scenery of NZMC for FSX use!!! NOW, my NZMC Mount Cook is WORKING with all taxiways and airport ground aprons!!! I got a complete awesome freeware NZMC scenery completed with all buildings and terminal although without cars or buses but that is great price to pay for giving up cars and buses! How did I...

A post on the Orbx forum reminded me that I needed to add Milford Sound to this thread. The Orbx post did point out that Milford didn't work without the SI region, but this only really applies to the default mesh. The problem was that the default elevation mesh has always been damaged at Milford Sound. It actually looks like when the mesh was put together, it included the cloud cover, rather than the ground, so you get huge rolling 'hills' where there should be some sharply defined features. However if you have some other mesh, like VLC, then Orbx Milford works perfectly well just dropping it...

Indeed.

Hi Kelvin any chance of getting some pics of VFR coast lines and rivers 3000ft and under. Hi Doug, I'm currently processing some other areas to show off. Once completed ill let you know. However, i have made my tool open to the public and can be obtained at Search the forum for geoimageprocessor
