NZHS - Hastings Aerodrome, New Zealand (2023)
Note your sim must be up to date with all world updates installed. You do not need any photogrammetry installed, just the base world updates as I borrow scenery from those resources. This project makes extensive use of the UK2000 Scenery Library which is free in the Marketplace. Please make sure you have it installed.
V 1.2
Welcome to Hastings Aerodrome located in the Hawkes Bay area of the North Island of New Zealand as I continue to add NZ content that I believe is needed. As usual I have based this on the latest aerial photography and added my usual flair and experience to this GA airfield. Included with this scenery is:
- The skinny main runway with the white painted markings extending onto the grass.
- The 'half-runway' 29 which becomes a grass strip bounded by gables.
- Over 100 hand placed objects.
- Hand placed vegetation, trees and fences.
- Windsocks in the correct locations.
- The public viewing area of the airfield next to the main road.
- Some animation to liven things up a bit including some NZ sheep in a nearby paddock.
- A heli-start for you chopper pilots.
- Some subtle lighting if you decide to land there after dark.
- FPS optimised as always.
V 2.0 (10 Apr 24)
- Major rework of all ground textures as I was not happy with them. The textures and colours look much better, at least to me.
- Added more heli-starts.
- Added more parking spots for GA.
- Other general improvements and additions.
V 2.1 6 May 24
- Replaced a hangar with one you can spawn into. Choose GA_Small 1 for this cool feature.
- Prevented ATR's and such from spawning into the small GA parking, and into the new hangar!
V 2.2 6 May 24 (mintues later...)
- Increased the spawn-in-hangar size, this is what happens when you don't test it first. Apologies. However, it is still only for small GA but they will now fit in there.
Be sure to read the note in yellow at the top of this description regarding the state of your MSFS installation in order for everything to display correctly. I try hard to keep the dependencies to a minimum.
HELP ME STOP THE WIFE CHUCKING A TANTRUM:
If you appreciate the work that I have done and it gives you joy, PLEASE consider smashing that Paypal button and donate to the cause, just $5 or $10 or whatever you think is fair. I would love to continue to pump out these near-payware quality airfields for you to all enjoy but I have to justify my time and effort these days to the wife. Help me take her out to dinner or she will put a stop to anymore ''time-wasting" :(
Tip:
Don't forget to reload your Little Navmap scenery library now and then in order to keep your new airfields accurately portrayed within it. This way all your new taxiway designations are updated among other things.
LNM automatically searches through your community folder during the process which runs in the background so you can keep simming.
From the menu bar of LNM: Scenery Library | Load Scenery Library | press Load. When finished, press Use Database.

Unzip and drop into your Community folder.
Enjoy.
