NZAR - Ardmore Aerodrome, New Zealand (FS2024)- Complete Replica.

Welcome to the full rebuild of the original FS2020/FS2024 hybrid version found here. This is an FS2024 only version now, utilising the full power of the FS2024 SDK. This is fully modelled with true to life 3D models created by Ron Watson, who spent 5 years creating them and granted me permission for their use. His hard work is most appreciated.

Ardmore is an iconic airfield in Auckland, NZ and was actually my local aerodrome until I moved to Australia.  This version includes the new Delta2 taxiway and hangar, plus your own personal hangar featured in the screenshots.

ARE YOU SURE THIS ISN'T PAYWARE? 

Yup. It is free,  and I would claim it to be one of the best freeware sceneries on this website. Please donate if you appreciate how much work, time, and effort went into this for the community.

Built by Kiwi's for the world to enjoy.

Features

• Over 100 fully handcrafted building models, fuel bowsers, signage, fencing and other misc objects by Ron Watson.
