Well it's not on my usual schedule of flights and flying, but for USD12 at FS.TO why not?

I discovered I had a designated helipad on the Bluff Lookout!
I guess the folks are a bit accommodating down there...

Likewise there is a complete lack of signage at the airport entrance, although Google shows something in case you needed nudging :)
Also: Nowhere for my MD500 to stand :angry:

I have this mad AI that sent a 777 in while I was looking around. It landed, and then simply disappeared.
Can't say I blame it .

Yes, I have considered this package. Are those apron markings a confusing mess or what? Imagine trying to park on a wet night.
I guess the 777 disappeared after landing due to no large gates available to park at.

I didn't hang around long enough to see what an ATR would do... baton man a prerequisite I think.

To be honest this will not be my Startup Home Base airport for NZ.
But it's in there if needed, along with the 1264 other line entries in the sim.
My how it has grown.

That's actually been improved since the late 2010's. It was much much worse.
