The update is looking good .
Hey CookieMonsta, thanks for the review. Are you able to elaborate on both points?. Might be a sim issue? Also is this MSFS2024?
I emailed you just after I purchased it with all the details and recieved no reply, It is 2024 and is not a sim issue or hardware. The random vehicles on the apron is not a huge issue, not at all realistic, just your choice. As for the photogrametry I simply removed the worst of the affected tiles from the install which is a solution of sorts.

I just visited Hokitika airport showing my kids how cool of an area it is to fly and was thinking it would be epic to make a mod for the game. Well I was well treated when I got home to see if someone had done one, and it's been done well! Even the sign on the toilet "Flight crew toilets", lol! I old tower is hardcase, the terminal is nicely done and love all the little details on the signs. Really cool, Hokitika is a special place in general for sure.
Hey mate, thanks for the kind comment. Glad you liked the area in sim and out! Cool little place isn't it.

Great work, looks beautiful. Is a GSX profile available somewhere?
Hi, I also bought this scenery on simmarket recently. Is there a GSX profile for it?

Good to see more quality NZ sceneries. Really like this one - great first effort. My only request would be if the vegetation at the runway ends could be flattened a bit. It's just a bit of scrub in real life but some pretty big trees in the Sim. Really struggled to avoid hitting them with my A320 last night :)
Hey mate, thank you for the words. I will look into the issue for you. I tend to run my sim with an all round tree height mod, lowering the heights to a more relalistic level I feel, (highly recommend) . However i’d say this would have blindsided from the issue. Cheers

A true to life Hokitika finds it's way to MSFS! Such a wonderful airport in both the real world and now the sim. 5 Stars - it's an instant favourite. Amazing quality - I hope KiwiFlightSim has some more New Zealand and Pacific airfields in the works.
Hey mate, thanks for the kind comment. First product out for the sim, so hoping to make a good entrance. I am quite possibly working quietly on Rarotonga, Cook Islands. Also any issues with the scenery feel free to submit through my website. Regards
