INVERCARGILL AIRPORT - 2023
Note 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.

V 1.1
Back over the 'ditch' to my country of birth for a request - to replace Invercargill Airport with a version that has working AI Traffic and is GSX compatable.
Please see the video trailer for more details.
What a pleasure to be working in the beautiful green textures of NZ ( I miss so much! ) after having produced so many Western Australian 'red-dirt' airfields since Xmas.
The mission to complete that MASSIVE part Australia with quality airfields is pretty much complete so expect more NZ projects in the future.
A personal thanks to bindook for creating so many other quality WA airfields over the years and his help and advice. Between the two of us we have transformed the neglected Pilbara, Kimberley, FIFO's and South Western part of Australia for the masses. Please make sure you download ALL his work for WA as I recommend it highly.
V 2.0 ( 1/3/24 )
Added 3 ATC Controllers inside the Control Tower. Go take a look at them doing their jobs.
Added internal lights to some of the hangars.
Tweaked the behaviour of the AI to be more efficient in taxi mode.
Added some more lights, around the Control Tower and the roundabout and rental car areas.
V 2.1 ( 8/3/24 )
Added a construction site next to Hertz Rental Car Hire for extra eye-candy.
Varied the sizes and shapes of the manually placed tree objects after a great tip from @User654YT.
V 2.2 (16/4/24)
Fixes the missing guardhouse next to the security guards at the gate to the main apron.
V 2.3 ( 21/4/24 )
Fixes a missing fence object that I have placed in much of my scenery not realising it was from other freeware and would not have appeared for anyone
Apologies for being blind, it makes flying rather difficult, especially those damn landings.
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" :(
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.

I think you might have inadvertently put V2.4 (in the main text body) whereas the change log correctly lists it as V2.3 .

Have a look at the Invercargill 0.05m Urban Aerial Photos (2022) on LINZ Data Services to see what I mean.
Effectively it is as follows:
1 Straight in for A320/A321
1S, 1N, 1W for ATRs depending on wind direction
2 Straight in for A320 (A321 marks slight further in)
2S, 2N, 2W for ATRs depending on wind direction
3S, 3N, 3W for ATRs depending on wind direction
4S, 4N, 4W for ATRs depending on wind direction
All ATR markings are "AT7 DH3" for the Q300s also.
Otherwise nice scenery thanks.

I love flying ATR's in NZ, and now I can add Invercargill to my places to fly to.
You deserve a coffee. Have one on me.
Keep up the great work!
