NOTE: The dependancies listed in the dependancies section are required for both FS2020 and FS2024.
FS2024 Section
V1.1 30 Novc 24
- Stage 1 conversion to FS2024. Fixes missing buildings, corrects terrain and textures.
- Makes the airport work fine and look fine.
- Look out for further fixes and updates as I discover cool things in the new SDK.
V1.2 08 Dec 24
- Corrected the pathing on the grass runways as the runways had moved slightly.
- Corrected the linework and gables on those moved runways.
- Replaced missing fuel bowsers.
- Sorted out some new issues on the dragstrip.
- Updated some ground textures with the new SDK versions.
- Looking all good now.
V1.3 12 Dec 24
- Moved a taxi cone that I had missed. Yes just one taxi cone that was left in the middle of the grass taxiway.
- Made some other minor improvements that only I would notice.
V1.4 19 Dec 24
- Changed the terrain pathing references for the new terrain engine to read the surfaces correctly into FS2024.
V1.5 26 Jan 25
- Removed ALL the stupid rocks from the airfield after I hit one today and damaged my landing gear strut on the A2A Comanche.
- Made some really cool ground texture improvements within FS2024. Mostly around the hangars and other asphalt areas.
V1.6 HOTFIX - 27 Jan 25
- Apologies, I accidentally introduced some really long grass that hid all the taxi-cones in V1.5, making it all but impossible to taxi. This hotfix fixes that mistake.
V1.7 04 Jul 25
- Just some minor additions while I was checking that Asobo hadn't broken this masterpiece lately.
V1.8 28 Dec 25
- Replaces/substitutes many missing objects caused by SU4. Too many to list.

V1.9 18 Jan 26

- Made some ground texture improvements.
- Prepared the scenery for my TaxiTuner4 profile for Say Intentions AI.
- Added a taxiway for the GA aircraft in Say Intentions to navigate to the end of Runway 6L and blended it in to the scenery.
V2.0 07 May 26
- Minor fixes after Sim Update 5
FS2020 Section
Note your sim must be up to date with all world updates and POI's installed. You do not need any photogrammetry installed, just the base world updates as I borrow scenery from those resources. Ensure you have the UK2000 Scenery Librarywhich is free in the Marketplace and used by many devs, including my work.
V 3.0 FULL REBUILD - NOTE THE DEPENDANICES HAVE CHANGED
Welcome to Hood Aerodrome in Masterton, New Zealand - the way it should have been! A payware quality makeover, the scenery has been completely rebuilt from the ground up. Featuring a far more accurate layout of the entire aerodrome it now contains custom multi-layered texturing, correct taxiways, better 3D buildings, and a VERY much improved dragstrip. The dragstrip comes with the correct layout including gravel trap, tire and water-barrel crash barriers, the 'burnout' apron, and a proper finish line. Hell, you can even land on it.
As this was my first ever attempt at airport scenery last xmas, this well recieved scenery was in dire need of the skill and experience I have obtained over the past months to bring it up to my payware quality standard. So download it and have a look around as the detail of this one is right up there with the best of my work.
Featuring:
- Payware quality.
- Your own hangar to spawn into.
- A fully rebuilt dragstrip.
- High quality detail everywhere.
- Gone are the unrealistic grass taxiways, taxi-signs lighting and buildings.
- Custom multi-layered texturing has replaced all of my original ground textures.
- Grass taxiways are now seamless with the terrain and are marked with guidance cones.
- Heli-starts with accompanying 'cold and dark' parking (numbered 100, 101 etc) for you hard core chopper pilots.
- Hand placed trees, shrubs and vegetation.
- Fully fenced and gated.
- An entirely 'clean' look - no ugly shadows and blotches.
- FPS friendly optimisation.
See the new screenshots and trailer, and enjoy.
V 3.1 24/08/24
- Fixed linework on the main apron.
- Reduced the size of the GA Medium parking on the main apron so that it is more appropriate for the AC type.
- Made some more minor additions and changes.
V 3.2 06/09/24
- Corrected any taxisigns and placed them in the right position and orientation.
- Replaced the stock lines with my own custom ones. Now all ground 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. Overwrite if already exists, it may probably pay to delete the old version first.
Enjoy.

Map Enhancement", in the beginning, it never loaded up, to display ANY LOD, and this latest version, loads, up, but I have noticed, it clashes with scenery, and kind of turns, like mountain area's a purplish and real light brown, and does not look right, I will turn it off, in the future, Thanks for the tip, and I did download the free, Peaderborn scenery anyway.

There maybe more, I will look closer later.
Also, are you using some 3rd party map textures? Maybe that google map overlay? Cos it is putting back all the blotches and shadows I remove in all of my scenery for a clean airport...
