Hey.

Does anyone know if there is a Paraparaumu airport scenery out there?

It would be really cool to get my home field on my Sim

Cheers dazza

I think RealNZ Wellington has it?

No sorry it dosen't - Robin was/is planning to release a Paraparaumu though - I think as freeware.

Yes, when I was in Paraparaumu I wasn't able to take my normal flight over the airport for ground textures, and it can't be a Real NZ project without them. I am planning to release a fairly basic model though to match the Real NZ photoreal.

Oh cool thanks for that Robin

Cant wait

Keep us posted if you can.

Cheers

I did build a "quickie" Paraparaumu airport scenery, for testing purposes during the development of the Retro-AI # 2 Post and Cargo Pack.
It fits into the RealNZ Wellington photoreal nicely. Its not accurate in its building layout, as i was only going from and old memory from the last time i was there many years ago, but the runways etc are in the right place. I was going to develop it further, if i could get some decent pics of the place, but if Robin is still going to go ahead with his freeware NZPP, then i dont think its worth me bothering to re-do it properly. See link below for pics..................

Lawrie.

I'll try and make a basic one as soon as I send snowman the Retro Wellington to test.
(sorry about the long time I got a bit lazy and also a few other commitments came up but once I put in a hanger it shall be complete allowing me to carry on with other things)

I will look forward very much to testing out your Retro Wellington scenery for you Kelburn.
Not a bad idea to do an NZPP scenery. I dont know how long its going to be before Robin finds the time to do his freeware one to fit into RealNZ Wellington ( i would imagine it will be some time, due to all the other commitments he has), but a reasonable likeness of the layout of the place would certainly please a lot of people.
I dont really have the time at the moment to improve on the "quickie" that i did. Too many other projects on the go that need to be finished.

Oh cool guys

That would be great if you could do one till Robin releases his one

if you need any pics let me know as i live there.

Am starting one now. I am still pondering on which method to use. I don't know how to use gmax so I will be using FSSC. I may use satellite stuff as the textures etc. But I'm working on it. I use EOD (easy object designer) does anybody know of any other api designers that are fee and easy to use?

where can I get high resolution satellite mapping that I can legally use?
I tried LIZ but it isn't high enough around Paraparaumu.
Google earth has a reasonably resolution but I'm not sure of the legality of using it.

Here's what I've done this morning:

I am using Satellite stuff from the web although am still trying to find higher resolution stuff. But anyway:
