Features
- 2 accurate, photorealistic airports;
- Airport models designed in GMAX for optimum performance; multiple LODs (levels of detail) allow for maximum detail up close without affecting overall performance;
- Wanaka -- 3500 square kilometres of photoreal ground textures derived from full colour 2.5m/pixel aerial photographs, meticulously adjusted to convert from New Zealand's non-standard mapping convention; Summer season, daytime only;
- Tekapo -- 1200 square kilometres of photoreal ground textures covering the lake and surrounding area -- all seasons depicted, plus night textures;
- Accurately placed to match the newly-released Geographx 20 metre/40 metre/76 metre elevation mesh;
- Also compatible with 76 metre SRTM elevaton meshes, but not the 'old' Geographx 40 or 150 metre meshes;
- Autogen -- 'automatically generated' vegetation and buildings to give a realistic low-level VFR flying experience;
- Bonus 'Warbirds Over Wanaka' airshow! -- the largest airshow in the Southern Hemisphere is partly reproduced -- a sort of 'mini-airshow'..
Important things you really need to be aware of before purchasing this scenery
- The Bonus Airshow scenery recreates the airport as a mini-airshow base. It does not represent the real airshow fully, as that would be silly. Imagine that you had your own airshow and invited just your friends.
- There are no warbirds or other AI aircraft, either static or AI, included with this scenery.
- There are ideas and suggestions on this website to add AI aircraft to the airshow scenery, but this is not part of the supplied scenery, and I can take no responsibility for any problems as a result of following these suggestions. I will, however, be happy to help with any queries you may have regarding adding AI to the scenery.
- The scenery can be used with the default simulator scenery, but there are some recommended addons which are considered the minimum setup for a good flying experience. Any screenshots will include addon scenery which affects the appearance of the scenery, so your experience may vary.
Note: All Real New Zealand scenery is designed to be compatible with both the default simulator scenery as well as the Red Baron Entertainment elevation meshes and topographical scenery. In cases where this is not possible, priority is given to the Red Baron Entertainment scenery, the minimum requirement being the freeware 75 meter elevation mesh and the payware topographical scenery. Although you can use Real New Zealand scenery without these, they are highly recommended.
System Requirements
- 'Real New Zealand Wanaka & Tekapo' is very frame-rate friendly for a scenery of this type. The normal airport scenery and photoreal landscape will run comfortably on a 1.5GHz machine, but does require a minimum of 32MB video memory, with 128MB of video memory recommended..
- The additional airshow scenery puts very little additional drain on a typical computer, but adding any airshow AI traffic tends to overload a graphics system of less than 256MB memory. The normal symptoms are slow displaying textures on buildings and AI aircraft, or some missing textures.
- Installing both Wanaka and Tekapo requires 300MB of hard drive space.
