Martin Henare Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Interesting design on the runway, is that a helipdad? No Queenstown's has only narrow taxiways except for one so all the larger aircraft NG's, 320s and ATRs have to back track to either end for take off and for landing. The loops are guidance lines for turning around. The GA generally use the much narrower cross runway and Helicopters operate directly from their hanger aprons. The AIPs state that aircraft MUST use the provided turning areas when back tracking. If you havnt had a chance do a search on the NZ CAA approach/departure charts for Queenstown. Its a very challenging environment especially with an NG or 320. You won't get anything bigger in there.... but of course with FSX you can try and land anything you want can't you lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Tad confused, is'nt NZQN already modelled in NZSI? or am I looking at a default airport without realising it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubOne Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Looking forward to it; it's going to be a ripper and make the approaches/departures all that more exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Henare Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Tad confused, is'nt NZQN already modelled in NZSI? or am I looking at a default airport without realising it? NZSI and all our regions after the AU series have modified default airports. That means our team have taken the default airports and added a some generic models to add more life to them and enhanced them to better represent the actual airport. This is far different from the individual high resolution airport add-ons we produce after a region is released. The High res airports are customized 3d models of the actual airport and surrounds and use aerial photoreal imagery. These are sold separately to regions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Thanks for the previews. I'm certainly looking forward to this. I won't list the aircraft I've had fun flying into this airport (you're upgraded version with NZSI), but lets just say the F-35B didn't have any problems.

pduck1959 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Martin.....what can I say. Have flown in to Queenstown many a time, cant wait to see the finished product. There are so many other NZ airfields that need the ORBX touch......would be nice to know what is planned for NZSI and NZNI. Cheers Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilstorm Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 With Milford Sound looking to be released in the near future, is there any word on how far behind this airport will be? Thinking how great it will be to fly tourist out to lodges from here in a Beaver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M-Sauce Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Great, I am really looking forward to this airport. I've received some great source material that improves the RNP/RNAV procedures I've made for NZQN, so once this airport is released I will be able to blend them into it. Looking forward to this one.
