Hi LswainStudiosNZ,
Excellent work...
Just a reminder to update the version number in the 'manifest.json' as it shows in the sim and in Addons Linker and will be of primary importance in programs such as MFS AddOn Collector, for example, as developers produce auto-updating programs...
The version number here shows 1.0.1, but it shows 0.1.0 in the 'manifest.json'.
Also, it would be helpful to put the ICAO code in the title so it is immediately identifiable in a search ie;
NZHK - Hokitika Airport..
Thanks for your efforts...

Hi there. Great scenery! However I'm having the same issues as other commenters with severe performance degradation totally off-par with the scenery complexity.
Also, I always have a giant 757 at the gate no matter if I'm spawning there or landing there, looks very out of place. Other than that its a great scenery. Hope you have time to look in to these. Cheers

Hey mate thanks for your comment. I’ll get around to looking into the performance issues shortly. For the moment I’d suggest tweaking your aircraft traffic settings and turning static aircraft completely off to stop that aircraft spawning in at the gate. Cheers

Hi,
so far it looks nice, well done. but the performance is not the best, going down to 25 frames at a 3 monitor-high-end system

Hey mate, thanks for that. Once I’ve finished school this year I’ll work on a
performance upgrade. Cheers

NZHK to NZQN has always been a favourite regular flight for me so I've really been looking forward to someone taking on NZHK. Your enhancements are really well done with many thoughtful details, thanks so much for your obvious efforts. Unfortunately I get severe performance degradation that is completely disproportionate to the visible complexity of the airport. Drone camera slewing, taxiing, approaching or departing the airport is a stutterfest for me. No other airport impacts my performance this severely and I have hundreds of them. So I'm thinking that perhaps something hasn't compiled correctly, or there is a clash somewhere that is causing this? Or one of the objects is very poorly optimized as to create this effect. I'd ordinarily give 5 stars for this work were it not for the poor performance so I'm withholding a rating for now pending your possible further investigation and performance improvements. I have a fairly high-end PC.

Hi there, thanks for your feedback! I’ll have to look into this as it wasn’t an issue I experienced. Unfortunately I’ll be quite busy with lots of schoolwork in the next few weeks but I’ll try find some time to look into it. For now id suggest completely uninstalling and reinstalling the addon and installing all listed dependencies if you haven’t already. Hopefully that might help but I will look into the issue.

Appreciate your reply Iswain, will do as suggested. Assuming this corrects the issue I'll report back (but I'm doubtful...seen this before). My guess is it's one or more objects that are not well optimized. The effect is quite pronounced when turning around at the end of the runway to line up for a rwy21 departure...as the airport comes into a view again it becomes a slideshow (for me). Really hoping you can troubleshoot this as I love this airport and your work on it. I have all dependencies properly installed.

Thanks for the info mate! I have a few objects in mind that could be causing the performance issues, I’ll add my discord into my profile and if you want you can friend me on there and I’ll send you the package with some of the objects of concern removed to see if that solves the problem for you before I officially update the package on here.

Appreciate the offer, really. But I'm afraid I don't do discord. You can always just package it up and upload here as an alternative or experimental download option perhaps.

Hey mate, I’ve spoken to some others who have installed the scenery and they have had no problems what so ever with performance. That means that the stuttering and poor performance you receive on your pc is most likely out of my control. However, when I get around to updating it I will try release another file along with it which will include less objects and will hopefully improve the performance for you.

Very strange. I would have expected others to encounter the issue but if not, it may well be something on my end and if so, I truly apologize for suggesting your scenery is the cause. I have over 30 sceneries installed for NZ. Thus far I get excellent performance from all of them, some far more complex than yours. I wonder if it's some sort of scenery conflict with my other NZ addons or libraries. Would recommend holding off on your suggested effort for a second more sparsely detailed release until I do more testing. Will report back to you. Many thanks for looking into this.
EDIT: Iswain I've completed my testing to no avail. Rather than clutter up this thread any more I hope you don't mind if I PM you with my findings.

Thanks for your work,
I use the TBM-930 with the livery of Sound Air to make flights in New Zealand, the company Sound Air is based in Picton in the locality of Marlborough.
Do you think it would be possible to have a scene from Picton Airport (IATA: PCN, ICAO: NZPN) ?
Thanks in advance

ill definitely have a look into Picton! Unfortunately I’m going to be very busy with school in the next month or so but after that I’ll make a start on it.
