NZNP - New Plymouth Airport, New Zealand (2023)
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.
Welcome to New Plymouth Airport as I continue to build quality airports for NZ. As always my work is based on the most recent aerial photography and airport charts. I make no claim to reproduce 100% but my work is always as true to life as my creative license will allow within the bounds of the SDK.
V 1.1
Everytime I build a new airfield, it becomes my favourite. I have a LOT of favourites now. Features of this one include:
- Payware quality, minus the massive download and internal teminal modelling BS.
- A personal hangar for you to begin your journey from within! (GA_Small Parking 1) - see the video trailer which features this.
- High detail everywhere, including custom carparks, custom ground markings and textures.
- Control tower with two ATC staff watching over you.
- Accurate apron area with some cool texturing.
- Basically the usual CoolGunS quality with friendly FPS as the No1 priority.
V 1.2 (25 May 24)
- Added a missing taxi-sign exit from the main runway to taxiway Hotel.
- Moved the spawn position of the internal hangar (GA Small Parking 1) closer to the entrance to the hangar.
- Added cars to the carpark immediately in front of the apron which I had neglected to do.
- Created a gravel connection between the helicopter apron and the GA apron you can use. Watch for FOD in your Duke Turbine!
- Replaced the redchecker building near the VOR station which was fading in and out of reality for some weird reason.
- Added more eye-candy objects.
Ensure your sim is up to date, see the note in yellow at the top for details.
Enjoy.
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.

Just a note on RW23 R - in SkyVector it says that the surface should be hard. IN your model it is a barely visible runway.
