DoC Huts?

[ZK-LGD]

Just a quick question: are DoC huts in the Mt. Cook region and Te Anau-Manapouri-Fiordland areas accurately modeled/situated in either (i) VLC and/or (ii) Orbx's NZSI? If users of either FSX scenery could please let me know, I would be most appreciative. Thank you.

They are in VLC taken from the topo data

Thanks, Timmo.

And NZSI?

Anyone care to comment?

As I don't use FSX, I wouldn't know.

Sometime in the (near) future, I hope to have a rig capable of running FSX. As the majority of my VA flying assignments are in the Mt Cook-Te Anau-Manapouri-Fiordland area, the placement of non-standard airport sceneries (DoC Huts, Lighthouses, local points of interest such as the Otago Retreat Storehouse or Lodges) is vitally important and will help decide which add on I will eventually purchase.

Just to drag up an old inquiry.

Dorian yes so far they are there. I have found a few now

The Tititea Outdoor Education Centre, East Matukituki Valley that Dunstan High School use for Outdoor Education. I know this is not DOC but it is shown.


This hut in the pic is at Mason Bay, Stewart Island

All these little fix's can be done so long most no were they are , like a Moari meeting places , DoC huts are the same , they maybe all over New Zealand but unless you regularly visit the sites and most don,t even no , how often do people visit there community halls .

DOC huts are in NZSI.

DOC huts are in NZSI.

I have not found one , guess so dang small , and heck would'nt have a airfield beside the and seldom a heli pad .

2 more Lake Monowai, A Frame and normal hut type. Not going to post any further it has been a 100% hit so far. 12 locations huts exactly as plotted.




I would say at a guess they would all be present and accounted for. I am mapping them to a RXP GNS rom so when finished I will post the file.

Thanks for the heads up Pete and Timbo; very much appreciated.

@ Ian: Within the Fiordland area alone there are 115+ DoC Huts, at least half of these are easily accessible by floatplane/amphibian. Have visited more than 20 huts during my tramping days in the area (and, more recently, honeymooned at the L. Hauroko hut).
