| Norfolk Island Airport (YSNF), is located in the Pacific Ocean between Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia. It's currently serviced by Qantas and Air Chathams for RPT, Toll Group for freight, and RFDS, and Aspen Medical/Avcair for aeromedical retrival and transport. It's utilised by GA as a transit and refueling point when crossing the Tasman.
Norfolk Island is 430nm from Noumea (NWWW), 588nm from Auckland (NZAA), 483nm from Lord Howe Island (YLHI), 791nm from Brisbane (YBBN) and 907nm from Sydney (YSSY).
Please note that this is a work in progress. Any feedback or resource material (photos, videos etc.) are very much appreciated.
Features:
- 5M DEM (elevation data) for Norfolk Island, and surrounding islands (Nepean Island and Flinders Island).
- Added Terminal, Meteorological Office, Emergency Services Centre, Fuel Facility, Waste Centre, Sewage Treatment Plant and Electricity shed.
- Moved aerodrome beacon to Mount Pitt, 1.4nm to the north.
- Added VOR, DME and NDB infrastructure to the correct locations.
- Updated wind direction indicators (windsocks) and added lighting.
- Added taxi, stop bar, leadout line markings.
- Added apron lighting.
Dependencies:
World Update VII: Australia
Turtletank's Scenery Developer Objects and Material Library
EDHK Lights & Objects Developers Pack
Known Issues and plans:
- Create custom buildings and clutter. Currently using library models.
- Vegetation needs extensive updating. I've fixed some of it, but there is a lot more work to do for it to be representative of the area.
- Improve runway, taxiway and apron lighting.
- Fences. Waiting until SU10 to utilise the Fence Tool.
- Add Kingston's UNESCO World Heritage site as a POI.

When I link this airport using Addon Linker I suffer a CTD when loading the sim. If I unlike this addon the sim loads fine. Something happened in your last update.

Thanks for the report. Can you recall what version you were running previously?
I'll attempt to reproduce it.
jmknights93 5 month(s) ago
It was your latest version.
geekle 5 month(s) ago
Thanks. Do you know what version you were previously using?
Unfortunately, I can't reproduce the CTD with the latest version on my development machine.

Hi there, just wanted to say that for my system, the way this map interacts with some others makes my Sim CTD.
Not a criticism - simply an observation.
I spent the past hour whittling it down and it's definitely this map that causes the crash.

same here?
geekle 5 month(s) ago
Thanks for the report. I'd love to get this resolved for you.
Have you tried loading the scenery, without any of the dependencies?
I'm also aware that the elevation data does require more resources than without it.
Looking forward to hearing back for you.

On re-downloading the map, the website tells me that I already have all of the required dependencies plus they are all up to date.
Tried the map on it's own, with none of the other dependencies and it works OK.
I have some 1500 other maps in my Community folder so it's simply too big a task to ask one user to go through these alongside this map so sadly I can't use it.

Great, thanks for letting me know and sorry to hear that the dependencies are causing some issues.
I'm working on creating custom assets to replace the dependencies/libraries that I have utilised, so when that's completed, you should be able to use the scenery with no issues.

This looks really good. A lot of work already and promising for future updates. Can I suggest a slightly lighter coloured tarmac....it seems a little dark I reckon...
geekle 6 month(s) ago
Thanks for the kind words and the feedback.
I've added your suggestion to the Roadmap and should get to it shortly.
Transair 6 month(s) ago
thanks....not meant to be a criticism, just suggestive. I was there a few years back. If I can find a pic of the tarmac, I'll send to you.

I've just uploaded a new version. I colour corrected the asphalt based on the average of image samples I have collected from the 2021 resurfacing works.
Thanks again for the feedback.
