Queenstown

[Ex ANZ Eng]

I was wondering if anyone has had a go at updating Peter Lohr's scenery for Queenstown.
In FS2004 it was very impresive and in FSX it would be amazing.
Any feedback would be welcomed.

Cheers

Haven't seen one but if there was it would be a massive frame HOG!

I supplied the CAD drawings and photos for the terminal to Peter last year but haven't really heard much since then.

I'd love to hear from Peter L. as I want to convert it from MSFS to X-Plane (well I have converted it, but want to upload it for others to share).

Heck .. Pete completed Queenstown in Brazil , last chat he was in Ireland , or Germany or transit between those centers ..

Finally someone who knows where he's at (alt least mostly). Thanks Ian. So I guess he doesn't check his email much eh?

Last thing I heard from Peter he resigned from scenery design...

That also means no more Milford Sound right?

No photoreal type Milford Sound from Peter,............... major BUMMER !!
Looks like those with FS9 may be stuck with my little effort.............

Chickenman, how did you get those?

[chickenman]

I supplied the original photos and building measurements to Peter for version 1. I was working in Queenstown at the time and managed some time on the tarmac with the rescue guys.

With the upgrade at queenstown airport happening I went to QAC as Daniel De Bono at QAC has done some of his own scenery and was very accomodating. I also have professional contact with the project managers on site and had secured authorisation from QAC to get the design cad drawings, floor plans, elevations etc. The only thing I never got was the paint markings for the taxiways from Fulton Hogan. As a surveyor/engineer I've got all of the toys to use this data, but none of the time.

I am wondering if there has been any advances on this !

I have tried to use PL's scenery in FSX but it remains unsuccessful (?)

On selecting NZQN (runway in use) at startup – noticing more parking / gates than there are in FS default – loading stalls with a message: “You are starting in a location in which your aircraft will collide with another object. Choose a different starting locationâ€￾

Given this, I then try to slew the aircraft to NZQN – but at about 3nm & 3000’ agl (scenery of add-on showing, terminal appearing etc) – a crash into a “transparentâ€￾ building !!

It is beyond my skills to solve the above - so I await any advice (even that a payware version is imminent)

regards

My offer stands to supply all of the CAD data to anyone that wants it. PM me if anyone wants it.
