Description
Greenstone Station Airstrips, New-Zealand, for MSFS
Real-life airstrips with fictitious ICAO code NZ57
Version 1.2
--Description--
Greenstone Station is an isolated place on the shore of the northern arm of Lake Wakatipu, not far from Glenorchy. It's nested at the mouth of the Greenstone River, at the foot of Tooth Peak. There is a small field there that can act as an airstrip.
Landing at Greenstone Station can be done from both ends, but be careful the airstrip is not very long, and don't be distracted by the sheeps!
--The scene--
It's a new airfield as it doesn't exist in default MSFS. I used default assets and some assets from various libraries. Please make sure you have them installed in your "Community" folder.
The surrounding river has been edited and kilometers of fences have been deployed.
Previously developed using the Orbx NZ Mesh, it is now made compatible with the base mesh from World Update 12 only.
It's a good complement to my other airstrips around Lake Wakatipu:
- Mount Nicholas Airstrip NZ58 (https://flightsim.to/file/16211/mt-nicholas-airstrips-nz58)
- Walter Peak Airstrip NZ59 (https://flightsim.to/file/15832/walter-peak-airstrip-nz59)
- Glenorchy NZGY (https://flightsim.to/file/19442/glenorchy-airstrip-nzgy)
- Paradise Airstrip NZ56 (https://flightsim.to/file/19404/paradise-airstrip-nz56)
--What's new?--
v1.2
Made compatible with World Update 12 "New Zealand" of February 2023.
v1.1
removed the Airport Services definition files that caused services to disappear from not only this airfield but also all the airports in the region or even worldwide (bug from SU5).
So now you may see marshaller or pushback here even if it's not realistic at all, waiting for this situation to be corrected by Microsoft/Asobo.
v1.0
Initial release
--Installation--
Please remove any previous version of this scenery you may have.
It is recommended to install those libraries:
- BeeKay-Pack1 v5.0 or later (https://flightsim.to/file/8887/beekay-pack1)
- Dave's 3d animals v1.2.0 or later (https://flightsim.to/file/6841/dave-s-3d-animals-library)

Hello you are doing a very good job, but your mods keep causing conflicts with the default 'AirportServices'. So as soon as I use your mods, the default 'AirportServices' no longer work. Tests have shown that it certainly affects the following mods; sbworks-airport-lf0524-grandterrus-v1_1; sbworks-airport-lf7331-stjeanarves-v1_1; sbworks-airport-lf7332-valloire-v0_6; sbworks-lf2624-escoulin-lffa-v1_0. With this mod sbworks-airport-nz57-greenstonestation-v1_0 there is a conflict with the \ MaterialLibs. See Log ModelLibChanger.

I would be very grateful for a revision of your mod quality, your mods are visually fantastic!

Thanks for the feedback Pilatus!
I don't clearly see what you mean with the AirportServices. As I define this, with folder named with the ICAO code of the specific airfield, this should not interfere with anything.
