[IFA] Lord Of The Wings Over New Zealand

Featured Replies

We've decided to expand the tour stuff for a bit of variety. We're flying tours in turns - one day a leg from this tour, another day from a different tour.

The new tour Lord Of The Wings explores the locations on New Zealand which were used for various scenes of the "Lord Of The Rings" films. Hobbiton and Lothlorien, Minas Tirith and Mount Doom, Isengart and all the other fantastic sceneries can be explore in MSFS. And those who know the films inside out might even be able to recognize some of these spots, despite the fact that CGI did play a big role in the films.

Here's your checklist with recommendations & requirements

  1. PLEASE DO READ about the tour: https://www.icefireair.com/flying-tours/lord-of-the-wings-over-new-zealand/
  2. For various reasons we're currently using FS2020 - you have to have this as well if you want to fly along
  3. Join the Discord server to get the latest information and notifications when a leg starts and to talk to us.
  4. If you're unsure whether this tour is for you, watch a leg on Twitch while we stream.

Youtube playlists will be added later.

As usual: This is a hop-on hop-off tour, so you can join and leave at any time, even during flight. Easy as pie.

First leg done - it's actually fun when you're able to really (kind of) recognize these locations from the LOTR films. Take a look:

Lately people have asked me quite often why I'm not doing these tours in FS2024.

I've tried to compile an answer here so I don't have to repeat myself again and again. 🙂

Tour has ended, and it had a beautiful finale with recognizable locations from the movies. See playlist on previous post above.

Thanks all who flew along or watched - hope to see you again!
