The MSFS World Update brings a host of new visuals, photogrammetry, landmarks.... and unfortunately some very complex bugs for a couple of our airports. This NZAA update addresses those bugs and also brings some improvements. Full change log:


- Photogrammetry/TIN correction, which caused harsh, unblended lines in the water/land

- Numerous stray auto-generated objects removed

- Re-flattened terrain logic due to conflicting NZ World Update mesh

- Gate corrections and Jetway attachment improvements

- Runway re-alignment

- Removed static aircraft per numerous customer feedback

- Plus many more minor fixes.


Known issues/updates:


- The current World Update NZ has caused our custom satellite imagery to become blurry if Auckland/World Photogrammetry is enabled/installed. We're reaching out to Asobo to have this issue addressed.

- The ILS deviation issue has been resolved by Navigraph. This was caused by incorrect data used by Navigraph. If you use Navigraph, please update to the latest airac cycle to avoid this issue.


Release schedule:


Flightbeam/Contrail webstore customers: The release is now live.


MSFS Marketplace: 2-6 weeks per Microsoft validation pass

 
 

To celebrate the launch of Sim Update 12, which focuses on New Zealand, we're discounting our famous NZ Destinations which are the largest airports in the country: Auckland International (NZAA) and Wellington International (NZWN).

Auckland International - Domestic Terminal

They also happen to be our most recent products, packed with an immense amount of details and interactive features. Our current flagship product, NZAA, features dynamic VDGS* guidance systems almost all gates, making your experience completely immersive.


Wellington International (NZWN) is a must for pilots looking for a challenge. With frequent adverse and windy conditions, it's often a challenge getting your aircraft down gently on the sloped runway. Once on the ground, you will notice our exclusive animated runway guard lights, both on the sides of the taxiways and integrated into the taxiway.
