Adam Banks Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Alex has excelled again with NZWR - it's absolutely, jaw-droppingly, *stunning*: Starting with my favourite shot: The airport has masses of detail ... ... with a few heliports thrown in ... Arrrgh ... can't stop!! Here's a few more ... Believe it or not -- that DC-3 is a static object! If NZMF is the showcase for NZSI, then NZWR has to be the one for NZNI. I could fill a hard-drive with screenshots: this is just a tiny sample - there are *loads* of local POIs and landmarks (I'm sure you'll be seeing them posted soon)! Watch this space! Adam. BTW, folks, I can't make any replies in this part of the forum. If you have any questions, one of the devs may respond (I'm only a tester!). Editing by way of a reply - this is a "catch all" edit to say that I only took the pictures. Apart from the bits nature did, most of what you see is painstakingly hand-crafted by Alex. This isn't false modesty on my part - I could point the "camera" almost anywhere and get a great shot. I suppose I could take a bit of credit for the lighting - but then PTA makes all that relatively easy. More fun: Technical: All the above shots are from P3Dv4.1 using my PTA preset (26_01). Other than simple cropping, the images are not edited in any way: no sharpening, colour or tone correction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nirgal76 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Just amazing, one of the best ORBX airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Just revisited this thread because they're so amazing. Did you take these yourself Adam? I agree with Nirgal above that this is probably the finest Orbx airport yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog4Zero Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Jack, they Said it was in beta testing and due out by the holidays. I agree with you and I'm going to add this one to the scenery list also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if he ever did there is a bed for him at our place where he can watch the aeroplanes come and go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimNZ Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Adam, you do our country proud. Gosh, you have me wondering whether to move from The Naki and head up there. Absolutely stunning and truly represents that area. What you view on there is exact. Well done Adam. Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikee Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Very Nice shots Adam ! Looking forward I wish ORBX could develop some more New Zealand Airport's ! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundancer Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 This part of the world is completely unknown to me. You might say "come over to Down Under to fly there....." and maybe you are right! But you can't do all and you have to make choices, at least that is my opinion. That's why I fly only in Europe and North America and first want to complete these continents with Orbx regions. But I have to admit that the pictures from the OP are beautiful and it must be a pleasure to live and fly there ! Regards Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 A top class set to show off this wonderful location. Great to see another NZ airport coming out. Hopefully some more to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Sold, of course. NZ is still my favorite region (both)... It as everything a region - country could wish for. On top it's so FPS friendly. I just can't wait for this one Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundancer Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 The only knowledge I have from NZ is from the LotR trilogy. Wow...what a beautiful scenery. Was the filmset location at the Northern Island, where you live (yes I looked it up) or at the Southern Island ? Regards Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, none of the filming for LoR was done this far north. Hobit Town was filmed in Cambridge, south of Hamilton and is still there for tourists to visit. Quite popular I believe. I think most of it was filmed in the South Island. Quite a bit of the "Mutiny On The Bounty" was filmed off the north heads of Whangarei harbour, because it looks so much like Tahiti.

There are only 2 LOR filming locations on the North Island. Tourism New Zealand has quite a good website about all of the LOR filming sets. Here is the link: https://www.newzealand.com/my/feature/the-lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-filming-locations/ Some more locations for the Hobbit Trology https://www.newzealand.com/ie/feature/the-hobbit-trilogy-filming-locations/ For some strange reasons (Iguess advertising/marketing laws or strategies) the very impressive Aratiatia Rapids and Huka Huka Falls on the Waikato River near Taupo are not mentioned on these sites, although some Hobbit scenes have been filmed there https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huka_Falls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
