Is my assumption correct that Wellington would be the location of the biggest airport?

Largest is Auckland, then Christchurch, then Wellington.

Just spawned into Queenstown and there is no terminal building.  Can only assume its a SU12 Beta problem.  Everything is up to date.

Im surprised its not compatible with the beta given its released at the same time.  Looks like I maybe reverting back to SU11 tomorrow

The Queenstown issue is mentioned in the SU12 patch notes.

I guess you don't have the MSFS edition that comes with the handcrafted Queenstown? That shows up fine for me, though there's a elevation issue near where the taxiway connects tot the runway, it's a steep incline.

My Marketplace is greyed out & unavailable & my Server Status shows Offline, but I have internet.

How do I get MSFS back 'Online"?

Is your Taieri scenery all good with WU12?

Edit: NM Rob just read your post on the website.

Remember to completely reboot the sim after any scenery installation to update the index files.

The sim has been restarted a few times since installing WU12 and hour ago. Time for bed will look again tomorrow evening

Wait a bit..

Just took out the Cabri out for a spin around Wellington. The Photogrammetry is not only great but the coverage area is huge. I found the quarry where they shot Helms Deep and Minas Tirith for Lord of the Rings. Now I'm off to find the earth pyramids where the Path of the Dead was shot.

Has returned.

Have D/L NZ Update & smaller market update, but can't find the Orbx Caribou.

Do you have it??

PS - Just found it, for sale in the Market place. For some reason I thought it was being released free, as part of the NZ Update.

It's payware now. Look at the marketplace

[TonyD 132]

Just a reminder that NZA Simulations have released 2 freeware updates post WU12

"Our Westport and Rotorua website product pages will be updated following the World Update to contain two new World Update Expansion Addons that will add more NZA Simulations goodness that could not be included in the World Update including animated people, accurate GSE and more."

Now available

I hope someone posts some good airports to fly to in New Zealand for the 737.

Auckland and Wellington have been done by Flightbeam. Queenstown by Inibuilds. Also, a brand new Christchurch airport has been released by NZA Simulations.

 

[Naki18 76]

737/A320s can fly into Napier and Rotorua (although no longer regular schedules to either city) as well which are also available freeware or as part of WU12. 

Invercargill has regular fights via Air NZ  A320 but there isn't, to date, an upgraded airport available (although Orbx was/is working on one?)
