[Progress Update] NZWN - Wellington, New Zealand | NZA Simulations

[HybridNz]

NZA Simulations are excited to announce development has started on NZWN Wellington, New Zealand, a new payware release.

Tons of updates to come.

Exciting times. Here's a teaser.

Just an update on this,
NZA have been in discussions with FlightBeam and we have decided to no longer develop NZWN at NZA, considering their P3D version which they have ported for MFS will release early August. NZA will continue working on NZCH currently and the NZ airport will be NZQN - Queenstown.

This is extremely disappointing news to hear.

NZA Simulations have by far exceeded and provided a superior, more excellent high quality MSFS products than previous Flightbeam P3D developed products.

I hope that Flightbeam are simply not going to port over their outdated NZWN P3D version which is now 2 years out of date.

Flightbeam NZWN version shows the construction scaffolding build area equipment surrounding the building of Rydges Wellington Airport Hotel that was built in 2018.

It's such a disappointment to learn that Flightbeam are simply going to be porting over their less than ideal older outdated P3D version.

Was so looking forward to see what was in development works with NZA Simulations version of NZWN and potentially City landmarks given the teaser seen.

Kinda was hoping NZA Simulations, would do, like what they did with their Proline NZNS Nelson and freeware NZMK – Motueka with having a Proline NZWN Wellington and at the same time do a freeware NZPP Kapiti Airport that would make more sense with their combine regional close proximity.

So according to the NZA Simulations FB page the next NZ Proline project for NZA Simulations is to revamp MSFS NZQN Queenstown and another Freeware project appears to be Raglan Airfield NZRA

We understand your concerns, we had the same, which was why we initially planned to do NZWN, even with the knowledge of FlightBeam doing their one. However given the quality of their NZAA it would not be prudent to duplicate payware airports while there are many other that have not yet been done. As far as we are aware its not actually a simple port from P3D to MFS, they are updating and improving it.
This doesn't mean we are ruling out returning to it in the future however. As for NZPP it is on our roadmap.

NZRA is our next freeware to be released this month, NZCH is our next payware and after that NZQN. But nothing is set in stone yet.

Please understand we are a small team and don't currently have the time and resources to already be competing and duplicating major and massive airports.
