Out of curiosity, will all of the reporting points around the airport be included?
For example the big white church at Temple View, Mystery Creek showgrounds, Rukuhia (there are some big white orchard sheds up on the hill on Ohaupo Rd) etc...
It would make it so much easier to navigate if these were included.
P.S. lovin the screenshots thus far! Lookin flippin' fantastic!

Crikey!! Next thing you're gonna want someone to re-write the default ATC so you can be cleared a "North" or "South Arrival"!! I guess that'll be as real as it gets!!

Just kidding.......

haha - good call!
Just would be good to have a few landmarks/reporting points to navigate with.
I'm new to the area and have just started flying at Hamilton so find it hard on FSX without the big white church, mystery creek etc haha.
I'm sure I'll learn soon enough!
Do you work at the Hamilton ATC tower? I thought Id seen in another post somewhere that you did?

by **Ian Warren** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 11:29 pm

Trust me the big white church is in there

Yup - I work in the tower (Its on my profile - I'm not important enough that I should get my own post

). I'm there until at least the end of this year, after which I'll be moving to Auckland and will be working as an Oceanic Radar Controller. I've also been working with Mike/Creator2003 as part of his HamiltonX project. And I must say you'll be VERY happy with the scenery - we'll just have to make sure we don't put too many AI Robins and Katana's in the circuit!!

Yeah... they'll get all upset when us interlopers from NZAR show up

Although these days I prefer to come in under cover of darkness... so the only people I seem to annoy are the fire rescue guys doing drag races up and down the runway!!

by **BigBird** » Fri May 01, 2009 9:48 am

This scenery is looking seriously wicked! Can't wait!

I prefer under the cover of darkness, all lights off and sneaking in at 250tf MSD. Pulling to the hover outside the tower just to wave at Mattress and realise he is tucked up at home in bed and i am not.... Those were the days...

Although my last trip to Hamilton there was some very casual chat on the frequency.

Oh and the loan of a vehicle for lunch. Cheers.

Thanks Ty. If I don't try and have fun on the radio these days I end up wanting to throw myself off the balcony! And don't forget the pizza's I ordered for the NVG crews!!

mmmmmmm Pizza.......

No galley in a plastic rat either so it's still squashed sandies and a drink for flight snacks. Roll on the NH90, at least we may be able to make a cup of coffee. Still no hot food tho.

How's the progress with The Tron going?
Have you got any more enticing screenshots to show us of your work?
Absolutley loving the ones you've posted so far - so much detail!!
Can't wait to see the final product - have a few "recession pennies" tucked away for the release....

Good work Mike! I spent the first 8 years of my life in Huntly, so i will be happy to take a flight down there! Naturally i spent some weekends in Hamilton in the late 70's and early 80's going to the Centenial pools. It will be great for you to fly in your own hometown, while for me it will be flights of nostalgia!

Good on ya mate! KAPAI!

Yes guys we are getting there ,im away at the moment working but also laying down the runways and taxi ways etc and making sure ive got it as bang on as one can do ,

by **ctcav8r** » Wed Aug 12, 2009 4:14 pm

Sensational!!
This sounds like one top quality pice of payware! I'm sure that everyone will appreciate the time and effort you put in to making everything just right.
If you do get a chance to upload some new screenshots...
I'm sure it will wet many whistles!!
Can't wait!!!
