Hi Guys ive recently been getting into MSFS2024 and so far im liking the improved platform but im trying to find an acurate scenery for NZQN (Queenstown ) as im finding the inbuilds one is good but missing helipads which are always my prefered aircraft so my Question is does anyone here know of anything floating about both payware or Freeware or anyhthing in the piplelines getting made etc that would help me enjoy queenstown again previously ive used the ORBX version but just missing the ones mainly around the heliworks area that so far dont seem to exist

You could add in the helipads using the MS2024 scenery editor. A bit of a learning curve but there a few good videos to help you.
Find where they are in Google earth and add them with the scenery editor.
Here's a good starting point. It's for 2020 but I believe it's very similar for 2024.

I've always regarded scenery design as a Dark Art, and this clip didn't change my mind, not one bit.
Reminds me of the Manual that came with my last RAM upgrade.
Fully 95% was devoted to what best screwdriver to use to open the case, which direction to rotate the screws, and how not to lose them.
Then how to carefully lift off the left side of the case, and store it flat and blah blah blah.
The whole thing ended with a single paragraph, and first and only reference to the new RAM sticks:
"Then install the RAM"

i think im more than likely safer leaving the tweaking of scenery to the experts as i think i would end up breaking something and creating a spider web of issues and errors and just stick to safe options of just flying about with ready made stuff
