Probably not................ as i have said before,......... i NO LONGER have FSX. Sold it some time ago.
A bit awkward to build airports for FSX without actually having FSX to build them in.............

I have a "to do" list of airports and airfields for FS9 that i am working my way through,and want to get those done first.
Once that list is complete, i MAY think about buying FSX again, getting together the necessary scenery tools, and building new airports.
That wont happen until next year sometime ( if it happens)...........................

Wait!
So you've done your own NZAA?
You wouldn't have any screenshots would you?

No,....... i havnt,.......... but if i can find the time in between work, caring for my wife whos just got out of hospital, the kids, and scenery building etc,... i might take some. I built it about 18 months ago, much more fps friendly than the other 3 freeware options available, and fits RealNZ Auckland City.
Wasnt going to bother uploading it, as i was waiting on RealNZ NZAA..........

by **Kelburn** » Sun Nov 02, 2008 4:48 pm

So what exactly did you do?
An NZAA with proper terminals etc?
If it was a custom build could you by any chance post screenshots? (sorry to sound desperate but I really want an NZAA scenery that is similar to the real NZAA - Shayne Butler's is out of proportion)

Interesting comment - it sits on RealNZ photoreal pretty solidly I thought.
What's your gripe with it?

by **Kelburn** » Sun Nov 02, 2008 5:50 pm

I mean the terminal building(s) aren't quite the right size and shape (especially domestic. - not enough space to include accurate number of regional gates)

If you look at yours,
the domestic isn't quite right.

Check the spacing of buildings here at the domestic terminal:

just to re spark this up,
Snowman do you have any screenshots of your Auckland scenery?
Please? (Just to be polite

)

If i can find the time in between my work, family, looking after a wife thats just got out of hospital after a major operation, other evening commitments i have, and building work on sceneries that are getting way behind ,................ i may take some pics.
I started it about 18 months ago, and it was only intended for me anyway.
It uses a few default objects, quite a few EZ Scenery objects, a couple of objects from the "Jetways and Terminals for FS9" package for NZAA, and a couple of items from a couple of payware sceneries ive got. Due to the fact it uses a couple of objects from payware sceneries, i couldnt upload it for all to use anyway........
I never finished it,............ im happy to wait for Rob's RealNZ masterpeice to be finished.
There are 4 options freely available for NZAA,.........
Auckland 2005,
Auckland Airports for RealNZ Auckland City, by Rob Diebold,
The "Jetways and Terminals for FS9" package for NZAA,
and another NZAA scenery using default FS9 objects by Luke Clark.

Right. I might edit Shayne butlers. It's got a few random parts. Actually how much does Auckland 2005 change shayne butlers scenery?

A few changes for the better in it.
I would reccommend the 2006 version by Rob Diebold. Its the EXACT SAME airport as Auckland 2005, but he's stripped out all the static aircraft, and other useless fps consuming stuff. If you have RealNZ Auckland City by Robin Corn, Rob Diebold's version is also the better one as it removes all the roads and city buildings etc, so there are no building double-ups with the RealNZ scenery, like 2 Skytowers, and 2 harbour bridges etc..............

Recent releases to Avsim include,..........

NZTN Turangi and V2 update.
NZMO Manapouri-Te Anau Airport
NZOA Omarama
NZTK Takaka
NZKM Karamea

Definates on my NZ "to-do" list that are still coming, and in various stages of construction at the moment,....................

NZKE Waiheke Island (Known as NZRV Reeve in FS9). This scenery is being built to fit into the RealNZ Auckland City Photoreal by Robin Corn.
NZKF Kaipara Flats
NZAS Ashburton
NZRT Rangiora
NZTT Te Kuiti
NZTI Taieri
NZHT Haast
NZAG Matarangi
NZ22 Chateau....... This is Mountain Air's home base, by the turnoff on the road up to the Chateau at Mt Ruapehu.
The scenery will contain the airfield itself, as well as the Chateau Hotel, and the Chateau Village as well. There is a (ficticious) helipad (NZ20) by the Chateau Hotel for those that prefer to arrive in style for their ski-ing holiday at the snow.
Mike (creator2003), has given me his kind permission to use the custom Chateau Hotel building he built in 2006 in the scenery.

There are a few other "Highly probables" on the list, and a few "maybe possibles" on the list.

As always,......... i AM open to suggestions...............

Could be a little difficult............... Kinda hard to build sceneries for FSX without having FSX to build them in first !!

With whats happened at Aces Game Studios, its not only FSX that will have a longer life, but FS9 has been given a new longer lease on life as well.
I will continue to develop sceneries for FS9 for now, as the demand is still well and truly there for them.
I will probably go to FSX maybe later in the year, but will continue developing for both sims.

Currently under construction,...... my last "large" airport for New Zealand.

Dunedin International Airport, NZDN.

That leaves just a few smaller GA airfields for NZ that i want to finish off.

I'm pleased you're doing Dunedin, I spent some time yesterday trying to work out exactly what I currently have. When I installed it, a couple of years ago, I seem to have deleted anything to explain who the author was, what version etc. I've never been very happy with it (as an ex Dunedin boy) and seem to remember having tried a number of versions. So, good stuff Laurie, head down and bum up.....

I was using Dunedin V3 by Daniel De Bono, with a few addidtions and modifications by myself.
Claude Schmitt also did a version for FS2002 and FS2004.
Both versions represented NZDN as it used to be,........ my new scenery represents NZDN as it is now, with the new terminal and carparks etc.......
Its about 50% complete, so it will be a little while yet................

NEW FSX Sceneries coming shortly
