Here is a little teaser of the progress so far.

Looking nice. Thank you. I coincidentally started flying from NZNS to NZQN regularly last month because the prop GA planes I was flying in the UK couldn't cope with icing any more. While NZQN is hand-crafted, NZNS badly needs some love and that's where you come in. Can't wait to see more pics 🙂

Looking forward to this also. And my jaw dropped when i saw this static PAC Cresco! Hopefully one day someone could get a working version going so we can Top dress these pesky farms.

There was a really pretty Nelson by Godzone for Prepar3d once, even including PBR textures, but there's no sign this will make it into MSFS. Thus, full speed ahead, looking forward to yours.

Kind regards, Michael

Hi Michael,

I believe Robin from Godzone hasn't totally abandoned MSFS, he posted some shots of NZFF for MSFS here:

It certainly looks encouraging!

The above NZNS shot from NZA Simulations looks really great!

Cheers,

Jerome

Robin from GodZone is a very talented developer. I'm glad to see that he's decided to create some airports for NZ. We need more talented creators like Robin that specialize in specific regions. I wish we had a good developer that would focus on the Caribbean.

Very nice. Any word on how Nelson will go with ORBXs new NZ mesh?

They replied to a comment in that second video saying yes it is compatible.

Yes we have been working with Orbx and testing the Orbx mesh with it. We are also hoping to be able to do our own 1m LiDAR for the Nelson area as well but will have to wait and see if that works out.

NZA Simulations has been working hard to get NZNS - Nelson into our active Beta stage. We are stoked we can now finally bring you some more detailed screenshots. NZA are bug squashing and preparing to film the release trailer!
