[ardypilot]

Nicely framed, glad you have finally got that 'D' model that you have been after

[Alex]

Nice work Q300, given you've experienced it now, do you think it was worth the 'hype'?

Well this is the only flight (Auckland-Taupo) ive done but so far I love it! model is very nice, VCs great appart from the Kingair gauges(soon to be changed ) and to top it off the handling is 'Wonderfully Fun'
$27.50 well spent

[Alex]

Awesome, it's great when you get add-ons like that.

Its great isnt it this is the best handling plane I have brought, the controls are realy smooth and makes approch and landing a breeze

[benwynn]

Awesome, Glad to see you got it sorted.

Although, that repaint- The PMDG One on the site- its pretty crappy. Search on AVSIM for a much more realsitic one.

[Kelburn]

what NZAP scenery are you using?

Hi, i think you need an update with taupo, the aircraft dont park at Southern end of the airport, they park inbetween the main runway 35/17 and the airport terminal, having flown in there quite alot you get use to where everything is.

Yes, i know this,...................
The scenery in the pics is not one done by me.
It was done by Rob Diebold about 18 months - 2 yrs ago.
I was doing a new scenery for Taupo, but stopped work when Mike announced he was doing Photoreal version of it....

It's installing that RWY12 thing that confuses me. I'll try again

You dont need to install the Runway-12 builder program, just the 3 main object sets.
Also, ALL the Matts Trees Libraries, amd Matts Oshkosh Objects. These are stanadalone Rwy-12 object
sets, separate from the 3 main object sets.
All the files ending with .txt .xml .mdl .bgl go in the "Scenery" folder of the "Static Objects Library".
All the files ending with .bmp go in the "Texture" folder of the "Static Objects Library".
Same with the EZ Scenery object sets..................
Activate the Static Objects Library in the sim, just the same as you would any other addon scenery.
Path for the object library should be FS9 / Addon Scenery / Static Objects Library.
Inside that "Static Objects Library" folder should be a folder named "Scenery", and a folder named "Texture".
In those folders should be the abovmentioned files...........................

Thanks so much. I have now downloaded all your NZ sceneries and I think I should probably get GNZLAP too..
I couldn't find Matt's trees or Oshkosh objects on avsim. Do you have filenames? Also I am guessing you install the airports on top of the RWY 12 objects? Thanks again for your help, I think a round-NZ trip is in order!


EDIT:
Found all Matt's stuff, just search Matthew Tomkins.

If you read the install Word document that comes with my sceneries, under the heading "PRE-INSTALL", there is a link to Avsim with about 6 or 7 pages of the Runway-12 stuff there. Just have to scroll through the pages to find all the stuff you require.
