Looking for photos for small North Island Airports to make into basic airport photoreal upgrades ,some or the far out ones i just cant justify the travel to them so these will help build a airport in your area if you put the effort in getting me the images .

photos can be any angle but front and side on is best , ill take anything with cars planes etc in shot and can edit /make up the rest
Te awamutu
Taumarunui
Waihi
Morrinsville
Matamata etc
upper north Island
lower north
helipads ie new one in Auckland or Helitranz hangers
Tauranga hospital ,Rotorua pads and buildings or any hospital north Island which has a helicopter theme ..

I hope you Guys can achieve this and ill do the rest .
mike
post the images here or send me a email to admin@fs-creations.org

all images will be used for freeware basic upgrades winkyy.gif

Don't have any pics from Matamata, but if you search 'Walsh Memorial Flying School' into google, you'll find loads. I do have a video landing there though: https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=342744721743

Apart from that, I've got loads of pics of airfields which I've uploaded into a picasa album for you. Most of them are airport overviews from the sky and runway shots from final approach, so not great for texture building, but should still be alright for general impressions.

So far, there are 34 photos from Dargaville, Great Barrier, Hawea, Kerikeri, Matarangi, North Shore, New Plymouth, Pauanui, Raglan, Taharoa, Te Kuiti, Te Kohai, Tokoroa, Waihi, Wanganui, Whangarai and Wharapara South: https://picasaweb.google.com/1018737540 ... directlink

More as I find them!

Sweet, look forward to them. I reckon my few of Tokoroa should be good enough for a default upgrade too winkyy.gif

No problems dude, I might have to add extra legs to the tour and swing back to the North Island once I've finished down south to come visit these places!

Do not forget the horses on the runway in Raglan. Had to do a missed app there once as when on short finals a kid on a horse decided to cross the runway. I think we all would not have come out if not gone around it was that close.
Waiting for your great sceneries with anticipation.
Adrian.

I know Matt Scott who did the Tekowai scenery over a year ago and did some great building models and autogen placement. Sadly he released it before VLC and it does not sit well. He has driffted away from the flightsim scene but he maybe happy for the nzff community to use his scenery for further development. I could try and get in contact with him to see what he has to say.
