X-Plane New Zealand Complete Photoreal Scenery

Brilliant mountain scenery. Quite amazing at times. I have only tried a fraction of the island so far whilst flying in the Aeroworx DC3 in VR.

If you like mountain sightseeing like me, I would definitely recommend this add-on scenery. It's ever more immersive in VR. Can't wait to take some helicopters out in VR.

Great job Lyndiman. Thank you for sharing.

Is it possible for this file to be split so it can be downloaded in segments?

Also, is it password protected?

I tried to download it but I couldn't find a way to choose where to download it. The result was it stopped as the drive was full. I have a new SSD ready for it. Any help would be appreciated.

This large file really should have been downloadable in sections so it isn't so huge. Seems to be a lack of common sense in this case!

This download seems to have areas missing, including (but not limited to) Milford Sound. Disappointing as this was specifically one airfield I wanted to fly to/from. Has anyone else had this problem and is it possible for this feedback to be referred to the developers? Happy to provide more specific information regarding the areas that are missing if required. Other than that it's great scenery!

I recently downloaded new-zealand-complete-photorealistic-xp11.zip.

The first thought is that it would be useful if the scenery offering was split into two separate downloads - North and South Island separately. This would make for more manageable download times and storage as, in my case, I'm only interested in flying in the South Island.

However, a more important comment is that some of the tiles appear to be missing from the download. These are specified in the Milford Sound area: -45+166, -44+166, and -44+167. Milford Sound airport would be on -44+167, so in the vicinity of the Milford Sound airport all I see is the X-Plane default scenery.

Similarly, there would appear to be two tiles missing in the vicinity of Mt Cook airport. These are -43+168 and -43+169; although the airport itself is there, on an adjacent tile (-43+170)

There may be others missing, these are just the ones I'm aware of.

I've redone the download in case, for some reason, the first download didn't get them but the same files are missing from the new download.

It's disappointing, especially as Milford Sound airport is the first suggestion to fly from in the supporting description of this package.

Is there any way to query this issue with the developers?

I would like to add that, for the vast area of New Zealand that is covered, the scenery is indeed stunning.

I'm a newcomer to X-Plane 11 and so if there's an obvious explanation for this issue I do apologize, but my assessment so far is that these tiles are indeed missing from the download package.

The natural scenery is magnificent, but the built environment suffers from the usual challenges. Like Australians, there aren't a lot of Kiwis/sq km, so fly the countryside at any altitude, do the cities at low-earth orbit in an SR-71 and you'll be simultaneously over & under the moon! Cheers.

During unzipping the very large program I kept getting an error message about DSS image which I had to skip, is this normal? I have tried the scenery and very pleased with it.

As with all the photo real scenery, I would prefer it if the mesh was a separate file. Also, the installation instructions for all photo files are a bit weak.

Author states .... works better with HD Mesh 4 but a map showing areas covered on the HD Mesh site say that NZ is NOT covered?

A very fine scenery. But I don`t love the added streets on photorealistic scenery. They disturb the picture of the landscape. These streets exist almost and must not be added.

This is a serious proposal to the developer Lyndiman! I hope this is possible.

With my new VDSL connection, I load it in one day. Unpacking also one day!

Especially the South Island is beautiful. The alps are better than FSX-ORBX.

Congratulation to the developer and many thanks!

Does this scenery include full autogen?

I am very interested in this file. Therefore I will download it in the next days. It will be going on loading for several days. It's a pity that there is no picture of the towns to be seen. But it seems to be great scenery.
