NOTE: The dependancies listed in the dependancies section are required for both FS2020 and FS2024.

You will also need the UK2000 Common Library from the Market Place. Search for it and enable it for streaming if you haven't already. It is free.

If you are missing the main terminal (which is from KSEA Seattle airport) go to your My Library, filter by DISABLED or search on SEATTLE. Make sure it is enabled. Sim updates have a habit of disabling content.

FS2020 Section

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.

A GSX profile for this scenery by goldmund can be found here.

WELCOME TO HAMILTON AIRPORT!

Yes, the 4-year wait for a high-quality Hamilton Airport is finally over. I have gone all out on this one and poured over 150 hours of meticulous work into this. I have created the airport and all the scenery around it in painstaking detail based on aerial photography and airport charts from 2023.

Before you read on to see what is included in the release version, please take a moment to read this IMPORTANT NOTE below...

IMPORTANT - READ THIS!!

I have activated the ATC and Ground control frequencies for this airport. There are 2 reasons for this.

• Operational documentation that I have read, including on VATNZ, refers to NZHN_TWR - Hamilton Tower on frequency 126.800
• There is a Control Tower on the west GA side of the airfield run by Airways, so I have reproduced it and turned that sucker on.

Therefore you can call up Ground Control and ATC as per normal for arrivals/departures. However, if you use Navigraph and have installed the Navigraph AIRAC database into the sim it will REMOVE the frequencies and revert the airport back to the stock, uncontrolled airport. I have no control over this behaviour.

So if you have Navigraph installed, the workaround is to remove the Navigraph AIRAC Cycle from MSFS via the Navigraph Hub app. It is super quick and easy to remove/reinstall it. Doing so will revert MSFS back to whatever AIRAC it is using. So don't forget you did this as you will probably want the latest Navigraph AIRAC reinstalled for for future flight planning via the Navigraph Charts App. BTW Little Navmap will use whatever is installed so it doesn't care.

Or Navigraph users can just ignore all of this, keep things how they are and fly without the ATC. It will have no impact on the scenery.

This is the most complex work I have done so far, so if you find anything that needs attention please comment below and attach screenshots to the user gallery of this upload if it will help me fix it. Cheers, -=CoolGunS=-

V 2.2 - 3 May 24

Full reproduction of Hamilton Airport, super detailed, near payware quality. All of the airport buildings, aprons, taxiways, signs and clutter are complete. The surrounding scenery is also included, consisting of the cart-track, trade centre, hotel, industrial and retail areas, and the massive Visy Board warehouse and tons more. 

Make sure your sim is up to date, see the note at the very very top of this upload before posting issues. Cheers.

Featuring:

• Over 1000 hand placed objects
• More than 150 hours of work.
• Over 30 custom carpark, road and apron markings.
• Removal of MSFS artifacts such as aircraft/vehicle/building shadows, blotches etc.
• More than 60 individual buildings, spanning the airport, industrial and retail areas surrounding it.
• The nearby hotel, complete with swimming pool and tennis court!
• Roads, driveways, fences, signs, its all in there.
• All of the construction work going on, including two huge cranes  you will easily see.
• The very busy westside GA area, with static aircraft which I have kept to a miminum.
• Extremely detailed carpark and other immediate areas.
• South or North facing parking on the main apron.You can choose which way to face from the usual parking dropdown in the main MSFS GUI before spawning in. Each ramp 1-4 has this option. This allows hardcore pilots to face into the wind prior to startup.
• Heli-starts and GA parking.
• Seamless texures and meticulous linework.
• Beach babes enjoying life around the swimming pool at the Jet Park Hotel.
• Still FPS friendly!!  (tested on a medium rig on high settings capped at 30 FPS no issues)

V 2.2  Fixes

• Forced those pesky ATR's to stop using the GA area to spawn into. 
• Filled in an open hangar on the GA side that was looking bare and unused. Look for the DC-3.
• Put NZ flags on the terminal and added the H.A.M.I.L.T.O.N. sign to the carpark side of it.
• Moved a static aircraft out of the way of a GA parking spot.
• Added some people waiting for taxis by the front of the terminal.

V 2.3 ( 20 May 24 )

• Added your own hangar! (choose W Parking 0 - GA Small to spawn into it - bottom of the GUI parking list). See new screenshots.
• **Note I had to add 1 more recommended dependancy for the extra objects in the hangar. Apologies for the long list now, but this airport is an exception due to it's complexity.

  **Make sure you check the dependancies list below**

Basically I removed that DC-3 and turned that open hangar into your own Private Business complete with your bangin' 4 speaker stereo system, your red Ford F150 and gold Audi R8. But you can't escape the wife and mother in-law who are enjoying a chat next to your beautiful car. Start your engine(s) and blow them off!

V 2.4 (22 Jul 24)

• Cut the annoying length of all MSFS grass textures down to 1/3rd of their stock length. Makes a massive difference especially for Helipads.
• Essentially I, 'mowed the grass'
• This airport now contains a workaround for the MSFS Helipad bug that prevents cold and dark starts. I have placed a GA_Small parking spot under each of them numbered 100, 101 etc. These are not connected to the taxi paths and can be chosen as an alterative to their matching Helipad so as to achieve a cold and dark spawn. All of my scenery will soon have these.

V 2.5 (22 Jul 24)

• Corrected taxisigns and placed them in the right position and orientation.
• Replaced the stock apron lines with my own custom ones. Now all markings and lines will be colour matched.
• Made some other minor corrections and additions. 
• This should be the last update before MSFS 2024.

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.

Instructions:
Unzip and drop into your Community folder. 

 Enjoy.
