Wellington AFCAD's for hospital and Queens whalf

[NZ255]

Hi, are there any AFCAD's (FS9) for RealNZ's Wellington hospital (NZWH) and Queens whalf (NZQF) (start locations). I have been trying to make my own, but having no luck.

Thanks

Nick

Anyone?

There is an issue with AFCADs of this type -- they raise the mesh up to the level of the 'airport', so you get a strange hill. I think that FSX (SP2) works better with this type of thing, but FS2004 is more trouble than its worth.

You will need to create a hardened 'invisible' platform for it... and an XML file to define the 'start' location... I did this with the helipads in the RealNZ AKL City scenery (ASB Tower, Mechanics Bay & Auckland Hospital)...

check this thread out...

I created a tutorial (FS2004) for doing this sort of thing... you can do similar things for FSX, but the tools and method are slightly different.

Great write up- I need to learn this stuff, especially interested in using this for sloping airstrips

Ok thanks but they all ready are hardened, does that mean can skip a step?

I don't see why not... if you are just wanting to create a 'starting' point... then just do the XML file bit... compile it into a BGL and add it into the scenery library and you should find you can find it in the airport selection screens...
