    Auckland New Zealand (hand crafted, no photogrammetry) Now with night lighting. - Image 1

    Description

    Over a hundred buildings in Auckland CBD, including the sky tower and bridge. These are all hand crafted, not photogrammetry from Google Maps. I did not create the models. I got them from the 3dwarehouse and imported them with blender.

    Although there's a drastical frame rate drop when flying over the Auckland's CBD this is a superb job, and one of the best freeware sceneries so far. Congrats and keep up the good work.


    Happy new year and best wishes!

    The CBD urban area has a very obvious frame rate drop in SU5.

    Hi there - love this scenery (flew it almost every day) but have experienced serious issues with some addons not updated to Sum Update 5 requirement so had to completely start my addons library again, but am holding off reloading this one presently. Just wondering if you're going to SU5 update this one at some point so you get the 'green stripe of U5 approval'?


    many thanks for your work

    Much appreciated. It makes a big difference.

    Hey do you have any plan to darken the bridge?

    I work in downtown Auckland and love this, - very convincing in terms of the main buildings and features. Particularly happy with the frame rate, which is very high for such scenery, presumably because the models are fairly simple (but look good).

    Probably not, I don't have enough time to do all the things this mod needs. Orbx are doing a landmarks city pack this year so I will wait for that and maybe do a release that adds in anything they missed.

    Anyone have any idea what happened to the Auckland Pack 1.0 by Authors
    Sprout, MartyNz, Nethiuz, HybridNz...?? Are they developing under a new name?

    Very much appreciate your efforts to improve Auckland. Thank you for the night lights too.

    Thank You.

    a Request: Please put your files within a folder e.g. "Auckland_city" within that, all your files.

    I ran into an issue when I extracted your zip into my "community_files" folder where I have all my addons which I link to the "community" folder using the linker tool.

    When I extracted your zip, the manifest.json file massed up my community_files folder and I panicked and got help from some good folks on AVSIM to get it restored. I then created a sub folder for Auckland_city and then put all your files from the Zip.

    Hi Manny,

    The way I do it is this:

    1. Drop it into the community folder.
    2. Right click on the zip file.
    3. Select extract to spas3man-auckland
    4. Delete the zip file.

    That should not mess anything up. I'll add these instructions to the mod.

    Excellent! With my experience, I am really thinking non-photogrammetry IS the way to go. No more melted buildings, 1GB downloads, and poor frame rates.

    thank you mate

    clearly mentioned in the weak SDK manual.
    Please be sure to change modellib.bgl to something unique for each file, like ZONABS-Modellib.bgl. See, please -

    you will get CTD issues with modelLib.bgl
