Paradise Airstrips, New-Zealand, for MSFS
Real-life airstrips with fictitious ICAO code NZ56
Version 1.3
--Description--
After the end of the northern arm of Lake Wakatipu, beyond Glenorchy, a road leads to nowhere. Not really nowhere. It leads to Paradise. A remote place with few houses in a very beautiful place, used as film set in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. There, sheeps and cows are living a peaceful life. They can see from time to time planes landing on a small strip close to small lakes. This is what I called "Paradise airstrip".
In a field at the foot of the magestic Mt Alfred/Ari, not far from Glenorchy airfield, two grass runways are proposed.
--The scene--
It's a new airfield as it doesn't exist in default MSFS. I used default assets and some assets from various libraries. Please make sure you have them installed in your "Community" folder.
Previously developed using the Orbx NZ Mesh, it is now made compatible with the base mesh from World Update 12 only.
It's a good complement to my other airstrips around Lake Wakatipu:
- Mount Nicholas Airstrip NZ58 (https://flightsim.to/file/16211/mt-nicholas-airstrips-nz58)
- Walter Peak Airstrip NZ59 (https://flightsim.to/file/15832/walter-peak-airstrip-nz59)
- Greenstone Station NZ57 (https://flightsim.to/file/19084/greenstone-station-airstrip-nz57)
- Glenorchy NZGY (https://flightsim.to/file/19442/glenorchy-airstrip-nzgy)
--What's new?--
v1.3
-Made compatible with World Update 12 "New Zealand" of February 2023.
v1.2
-replaced some assets with ones from my SBWorks Library (be sure to download it).
-added a Fletcher aircraft.
-added a parking
v1.1
removed the Airport Services definition files that caused services to disappear from not only this airfield (as intended) but also all the airports in the region and even worldwide (bug from SU5).
So you may now see marshaller or pushback here, even if it's not realistic at all, waiting for this situation to be corrected by Microsoft/Asobo.
v1.0
