NZFF

I have made a representation of NZRW Ruawai, which does not appear in FSX. It uses the VLC Objects Library, and it works in my Win7x64 FSX SP2+ Acc. I don't have ORBX or P3D2, and I don't expect to have them anytime soon, so I don't know about them. However NZFF members are free to use any, all, or none of this as they see fit, except to make money.

Thanks to toprob, I have reduced the size of the file. This is the new link to my GurgleDrive:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8TLmC ... sp=sharing

but if you have problems, send me a PM with your email address and I will use WeTransfer.
I may improve it later, but not until I can load all object thumbnails as a set, instead of one-by-one, as I have had to do for this.

Thanks to some good advice from toprob, the size of the download has been greatly reduced. I have edited my original post to link to the new zip, and I'll put it here too.

Ruawai. Know it well. Flew in once or twice while training out of Ardmore in mid 80's. Short strip going from the main road to the river. In an AA1C length was challenging.
Sorry for doubling up. But saw this post after previous one.

I've flown meatbombers out of Ruawai a few times- you should add the low powerlines and large palm tree right before the threshold of the westerly facing vector!

Has anyone tried this with Orbx NZNI yet?

A very useful pic, Trolly, thankyou.
The runway could move a bit north, too - is it grass or gravel?

Posted: **Sun Feb 23, 2014 5:56 pm**

Meatbombers

.. power-lines the one thing that catch's and recent even fence-lines

Posted: **Sun Feb 23, 2014 6:19 pm**

It's rolled earth over a limestone base emfrat, the appearance changes depending on the amount of recent rainfall!

Ta - the default gravel doesn't look nice, so I just widened the runway and left it as grass - which looks more like gravel anyway.
How's this?
EDIT: I think I have a pole in the road, and mebbe a tree as well...

It's scary, whatever you're driving

LOOKING GREAT MIKE .. nothing like being a little scared .. maybe a few extra 'bush type' tree lines and add a few more houses to follow Andy's photo and you have nailed it

Thats exactly what i did to Ruawai in my sim, after seeing Andrew's cockpit photo.............
Tried to add representations of what i could see in his pic, and 15 mins later,............ this...............
Like all things scenery,...... work in progress

Keep at it Mike,... its taking shape very nicely

Well, now that I have finally persuaded my pretty shed to appear, I can make a start on the other one and then do all the frilly bits.
Thanks for all the supportive comments, and help.

Tied up Tue Wed and Fri, so I won't get much more done the next few days.

Mike , never owned a car .. Superbikes was always my transport but growen up now , that or me fave a LAV would suit me

Looking good guys- was always a bit of a challenge squeezing in there with the displaced threshold!

I don't quite think a 402 twin would quite be comfortable visiting the aerodrome Lawrie, although the Otamatea Aero Club aero club boys showed me a photo of a RAAF Caribou that got stuck in the mud there one winter. It would be more realistic with 0 AI parks on the right side of runway 25, it was a real struggle to park both a C182 and C172 alongside each other between the strip and the hangers. The fence line edging from the neighbouring house is actually quite close on the northern side.
