Freeware For Airport That Has Railroad Run Through?

Postby Aharon » Wed Jul 18, 2018 2:55 am

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Is there any great freeware add on without using ground texture package for the New Zealand airport that has active railroad track running through the airport's runway? Forgot the name of the airport.

Regards,

SonnyJ,

Thanks for letting me know the name of the airport. Hopefully somebody would know great freeware airport scenery for that airport without using ground texture base package.

Lawrie Roach (Snowman) did a freeware scenery for Gisborne. It is for FS9 and FSX.
Probably showing it's age now but still better than default.
PM me if interested as I do have a copy of it.

'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'

Emfrat,

Thanks for cool screenshot Cannot see railroad tracks or trains LOL

Cowpatz,

I did not know Lawrie Roach made NZGS for FSX use? I searched all over and saw only FS2004. Also, I notice that Godzone (spelling) makes payware NZGS for FSX but I cannot find info or where on Internet.

If your FSX version of NZGS works for FSX with SP1 and SP2 (some FSX sceneries would not work with SP1 and SP2), kindly please send me the freeware NZGS scenery as long as it is not against the regulations set by the software developer of this scenery. I am PMing you.

Thanks,

Aharon

Oh darn out of my luck as I do not want ground texture base package.

Thanks for the link, Emfrat

the house over on the right as seen in the screenshot was the Stevensons place - Andy and his son Guy. There is/was a gate in the fence so they could land and taxi the fletcher and later the cresco in to the property.
I think it was 'Farmers Air' ???
I did 3 1/2 years there at the start of my career between about 25 - 28 years ago-ish.
There is a set of controls in the tower for monitoring and activating the signals for the rail/runway lighting system.
