  By Lyndiman on October 28, 2017 • ( 2 )

  

  The Waitakere Ranges is one area omitted from the new imagery, and it’s right in the flight path of Auckland Intl. So I don’t want this nasty little seam here: Combining the sets and blending them together is a simple… Read More ›

• Working down through Auckland

  By Lyndiman on October 27, 2017 • ( 1 )

  

  Working through Northland and into Auckland, I’ve used a lot of new imagery, but also had to sew it up with parts of other sets where images are missing. This is quite a bit of work, but should be worth… Read More ›

• WIP – Auckland

• Flying to a new domain

  Thanks to those that have donated, I’ve transferred this site to a paid service with its own domain! Soon I’ll release links to updated airports using default objects for Westport, Greymouth and Hokitika. These will align the objects correctly with… Read More ›

  The default airfield at Wanaka is wonky! Here’s a new version to match up to the Ortho!

• Patch: Hawkes Bay Black Square
