FS2020 Section

Note  your sim must be up to date with all world updates installed. You do not need any photogrammetry installed,  just the base world updates as I borrow scenery from those resources. This project makes extensive use of the UK2000 Scenery Library which is free in the Marketplace. Please make sure you have it installed.

A GSX profile for this scenery by goldmund can be found here.

V 1.0 

Welcome to Hokitika Airport as I continue to build up NZ with some more quality scenery. This  replaces LSWAIN's previous scenery that is no longer being supported and was not GSX compatible. It also suffered horrendous FPS issues, even on high-end rigs. My work solves both of these issues.

This airfield is just a short VFR hop from Westport Airport, one of Microsoft's hand crafted airports from NZ World Update 12, and for me is an important link down the west coast of the South Island toward Milford Sound.

Based on aerial photography and Google Earth/Street imagery from 2023, I have recreated this as best I can from the usual sources. I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed building it.

V 2.0 -  Early Easter Present 

Extra features include:

• Cleared trees around the approaches to the runways.
• Apron wear and grime.
• New 'advanced' ground texturing of the outer parking and general support-buildings areas.
• Loads more objects, carpark signs, road signs, clutter etc, still maintaining friendly FPS.
• Drainage added to the aprons to clear that notorious westcoast rain away.
• Live sheep and a nuisance german shepherd - check near the rental car building.
• Weather farm near the apron (once I finally figured out what it actually was...)

V 2.1  (6 May 24)

• Replaced a hangar with one you can spawn into. Choose GA_Small 1 for this cool feature.
• Prevented ATR's and such from spawning into the small GA parking, and into the new hangar!

V 2.2  (27 May 24)

Made some alterations to accomodate the new GSX profile which you can find here. Thanks to goldmund for the collaborations on my work. 

• Opened the gate from the terminal to the apron to allow GSX passengers to pass through the fence.
• Added security guards to that gate to keep the unruly NZ rugby fans under control!

V 2.4  (27 Jul 24)

• Cut the annoying length of all MSFS grass textures down to 1/3rd of their stock length. Makes a massive difference especially for Helipads.
• Essentially I, 'mowed the grass'.
• I can't believe it took me this long to discover an effective technique to achieve this. I will be applying this to all of my scenery over time.

V 2.5 (4 Aug 24)

• Added a hidden parking spot for the helipad (Parking 100) to allow cold and dark starts.
• Corrected the colours of the markings on the apron to match the yellow linework (arrows and other paintwork).
• Added a path to the weather station and filled in the textures within it.
• Removed the oil stains on the apron as they were glitching in and out.
• Removed some MSFS artifacts I missed.
• Added vegetation to hide other MSFS artifacts that were just ugly.

V 2.6 (7 Sep 24)

• Corrected any taxisigns and placed them in the right position and orientation.
• Replaced the stock lines with my own custom ones. Now all ground markings and lines will be colour matched.
• Made some other minor corrections and additions. 
• This should be the last update before MSFS 2024.
   

HELP ME STOP THE WIFE CHUCKING A TANTRUM:

If you appreciate the work that I have done and it gives you joy, PLEASE consider smashing that Paypal button and donate to the cause, just $5 or $10  or whatever you think is fair. I would love to continue to pump out these near-payware quality airfields for you to all enjoy but I have to justify my time and effort these days to the wife. Help me take her out to dinner or she will put a stop to anymore ''time-wasting" :(  

Tip:
Don't forget to reload your Little Navmap scenery library now and then in order to keep your new airfields accurately portrayed within it. This way all your new taxiway designations are updated among other things.

LNM automatically searches through your community folder during the process which runs in the background so you can keep simming.

From the menu bar of LNM:  Scenery Library | Load Scenery Library | press Load. When finished, press Use Database.

Instructions:
Unzip and drop into your Community folder. 

  Enjoy.
