Description
Welcome to Mercer Airfield as I build additional new scenery around New Zealand for career mode missions in MSFS 2024. This scenery incorperates material and techniques specifically for FS2024. Most consideration is given to the interaction between aircraft wheels and the environment. Embrace the new sim despite its flaws!
V1.0 15 Dec 24
- Initial release. Small airfield but looks great in the new sim.
- Will work well for Career Mode in FS2024.
V1.1 21 Dec 24
- Completely fixes the long grass issues I have been battling with.
- Aprons are clean now, and fields are not hiding taxi-signs anymore.
- Added way more eye-candy.
- Added multi-layered texturing on the main apron.
- Replaced the popping fuel trailer attached to the tractor with a heli-dolly.
V1.2 12 Jan 25
- Made addtions and corrections from the local knowledge mentioned in the comments below.
- Made other minor improvements.
V1.3 20 Jan 25
- Made major improvements to the taxibridge over the river.
V1.4 20 Jul 25
- More work done on that taxi-bridge, not sure why it keeps falling down. Some engineer by the name of Asobo broke it I think ;)
V1.5 03 Dec 25
- Added the proper FS2024 Helicopter Parking for cold/dark starts. Look for Helicopter Parking xx
- Made other minor additions and texture work.
- Final check before SU4.
V1.7 29 Dec 25
- Added some subtle lighting while I was checking for SU4 issues.
- Added a few more objects.
- Fixed up the bridge.
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" :(

Also I don't think the runway and the apron have that white outline.
And the "27" runway mark is a bit displaced in the real world.

I have pulled the compatiblity tag for MSFS2020 for this one, plus NZHT Haast and NZRT Rangiora. Not sure at this point if I will try fixing them for 2020. It is going to be too much hassle to have to build two different versions seperately going forward when there is so many more to do in FS2024. The new SDK has so many more features and I have only just scratched the surface on the new dynamic texture features for eg.
I am proud to have done 34 addons in NZ and Western Australia for the FS2020 community but progress is a train that doesn't stop.
FS2024 may be full of annoyance at the moment, but it does have a lot going for it, and over time it will mature and leave FS2020 well behind. When you do get to start using it rest assured I will be woking to make NZ the best place in FS2024 to go to and fly around in.
Can I do every regional airport in NZ? You bet. Just watch me...
