Lake Taupo and the mountains.

There has been a change of plan. The Mt Ruapehu Airfield has been moved to the old Mountain Air Airfield. This makes it more realistic. I will add helicopter pads at the Airfield and in front of the Chateau.

Unfortunately my hard drive just died while I was making the Chateau, so it will be a couple of weeks before I'm back building. No projects were lost.

Sounds amazing :D Can you put a generic spot for Huka Lodge in? :D

Huka lodge is a good idea. I will look into after I have completed the Chateau and Skotel hotel. I got the new hard-drive yesterday so should be back in business early next week. Fortunately the old one had three months left on the warranty.

Amazing :D Yeah it is a very common spot for helis around Taupo... The sightseeing base up the road is a great start, and will indeed complement, the more luxurious Huka Lodge :D I already found the exact spot its in in the sim :D I go in and out of there a lot, with updated base maps and stuff it is pretty good. But again, nothing on a specifically designed one :D It would be a marvellous asset to the sim with I'm sure many real commercial helicopter pilots familiar with it and indeed aviation enthusiasts like me too :D Good work getting a new hard-drive under warranty! I have had issues with my 6 year old CPU or Motherboard or something. Actually more like 8 years. It wouldn't boot in secure boot, so had to disable that due to an invalid signature or something-a-rather. Point is I feel your pain PC wise for sure, although my current OMEN has been extremely reliable thus far :D I had a laptop die instantaneously on me once, not under warranty...So again, glad it was on that for you :D Both the other spots too sound great additions to the sim. Having been down to Taupo recently theres nothing quite like it and indeed complements Auckland very well :D

If you Email me on ridgetoriver5@gmail.com I will send you a link to the Rupheau and Turangi airfields which are 95% complete. I also have an airfield at Kinloch which is locked up on my computer hard-drive. Hopefully I will get it back in a couple of days. In the meantime I will continue with the Skotel which is on my old computer. I spent all my school holidays in the sixties. It was a good time.

All good, I've got plenty of spots to challenge myself right around virtual NZ at present :D Just I've always thought Huka Lodge to be a good-un :D One would also probably think Kauri Cliffs, Te Arai Links. Maybe even a vineyard or two on Waiheke :D But that opens up a whole nother plethora really doesn't it haha. Currently leaving the Mansion on Lake Wakapitu which is of essence of a place like Huka, so obviously others have found these common heli locations a good option too :D

I have done Waiheke just recently. If you look for the projects by GKMLyou will find it. The Batch winery is part of it.

I have just updated Waiheke to solve a problem with the plants.

Greetings again - have emailed you GKML on address above - regarding Huka Lodge. Would be wonderful to have a slightly enhanced version for the sim :)

I'm put up The Lake to the Mountain project part 1. This is the Taupo lake small Airfields and Hukafalls scenery. It doesn't include Taupo's main airport. Part two will be released in a few days. This is the Mountains part. Mainly Mt Ruapehu scenery and the Mountain Air airfield.
