Taupo Extras New Zealand. Includes photoreal Hukafalls / Helistar helibase / Lake Taupo float plane and helipad which is located on the Lake Taupo entrance of the Waikato River right in the heart of Taupo township. Hukafalls is a quick flight up the same river and Helistar is just up from that on the hill which is easy to make out with its trademark Mil Mi17 helicopter and raised helipad, all very handy to the main TaupoX "NZAP" airport from fs-creations.org.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D scenery
  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
  2. Place scenery in Addon Scenery

    Create a folder under FSX\Addon Scenery\ containing scenery and texture sub-folders.
  3. Activate in Scenery Library

    In FSX, go to Settings → Scenery Library → Add Area. Higher priority means it overrides lower entries for the same location.
  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.

    To whom it may concern,

    Do you know if the chateaus and some of the locations mentioned, such as Taupo, would be compatible with ORBX New Zealand for FSX: Steam Edition?

    Regards,
    Theo
