About This File
Important – There is a document in this download called “Upgrades.” Do read it as I’ve removed some of the weird story telling items from some sceneries so they return to more normal airports again and also improved some of my other old airports too. The document tells you what and where to get them from.
This whole project is designed around trying to make things to fit with the Lyndiman ortho. It’s good so it’s worth the effort of the download and you can find it here.

I guess making your own ortho will work too (but I don’t know) although if you just use default stuff then my airports may look a mess.
This is NZUN Pauanui which is on North Island in New Zealand. This airport was a request so from the Gateway version I’ve placed some buildings of approximately the right footprint size in approximately the right place and added other stuff and filled in some of the missing autogen houses. As I’m using library objects it’s not realistic in the look of the hangar homes or things like that but it gives a feel of the place at least and is quite good fun to land there. .
The NZ stories. - As well as the airport there is also a document called “The NZ Stories 03.” The story involves five airports from me which I’m going to upload in this batch. It also involves other airports where there is already a good sceneries by others, details in the document. The NZ Stories are a little route with missions and a reason why you’re going to be making the trip to the airports to help bring things to life. It’s a bit of stupid fun and you might enjoy that kind of thing or you might not so it’s up to you.
Each chapter does follow on from the last and make reference to it so to get the best out of all this and not get confused by it then you should start with chapter 01 and do them in the right order. If you do follow the story then it would also be better to not visit my airports first to have a look around. Let the story uncover some easter eggs for you as you go along.
Other contents - There is a small document which has info about other tweaks I’ve done to my X Plane to make things look as they do in the photos. It’s there if you want to have a look.
Installation - Usual stuff, download, unzip, put in Custom Scenery, moan at me in the comments section if it doesn’t work.
Libraries - Seriously, just search for the master list of libraries and download the lot of them. I haven’t used all of them but by the time I finish with New Zealand I may well have done and with other people making other nice scenery it’s just useful to have everything.
Additional Libraries.
I don’t think these are part of the master list so you also need this one

And this one but just the Overlay download part. I’m fairly sure you don’t need to touch the mesh part of the download if you don’t want to.

Credits - Big thanks to Mr Lyndiman for the ortho, Robin Corn and Tim Barnes for permission to use their house objects, the creators of WED and Overlay, Laminar Research and also coffee… especially the coffee.
Donations – I don’t have a lot of money but your donation probably isn’t going to be big enough to be life changing for me. So if you feel my efforts are worth a small reward then please give a donation to somebody like Cancer Research instead where your little bit of cash might end up being life changing for somebody else.
