Cant wait for this Ian,...!!! >nzflag<

Have done (for FS9) Whitianga and Pauanui, Thames on hold until your guys work is complete, and thinking of NZCX for FS9 as well. Will re-visit Whitianga and Pauanui sceneries when you have finished, to make them fit into the Godzone a bit better.
In the meantime, im getting on with NZWV Waihi Beach, and NZTA Te Aroha.

Is the airfield at Te Aroha private strip? It isn't in the AIP, or even on any of the charts for the area, although there is a "gliding" symbol, so presumably they at least use it for that? Haven't ever really seen it from the air either, although I've looked plenty of times.

yea Te Aroha is just a paddock with a hanger and a club house but the airstrip never seems to be usable but nzwv has been on the market and i think its been sold and may become house's Im working on Opotiki slowly

No, i havnt got any pics of NZWV.
Im working from memory only from the last time i was there.
There were only a couple of buildings there anyway, not too hard to build.

Same with Te Aroha, only going from memory,...... if anyone has some pics of it, or more to the point, exactly where on the strip the buildings actually are.................

Hi Ashton.

Im just going to do a quick and simple scenery for it, for FS9, as its not a place a lot of people would fly into in FS.
I thought i would do it as its only just northwards of where i live,.......Tauranga.
Not much there anyway, apart from a couple of small hangers close to the Athenree road. I do remember when the coffee shop Bristol-170 Freighter was there, had thought about maybe adding that into the scenery.
Parents used to have a house on Seaforth road, and you could see the field from anywhere in or outside the back of the house, it was only about 700 meters or so away.............
