  1. my fps extremely drop, when using NZQN from INI builds (asobo version already uninstalled), try to using the asobo version, but same thing happen, still fps drop. already try remove the scenery index from xxx/roaming/msfs but nothing change

    looks like the photogeometry or texture are the problem, not the airport scenery. anyone have the solution ? Tks

      1. Perfect! So am I meant to remove the Asobo NZQN from the in-game content manager? Because when I did that, the airports were still conflicting and there were no more spawns.

    1. I see no parking spots at all on the general aviation area of the airport, only jet parkings at the terminal area. Trying to figure out if its only on my system and perhaps I still have some sort if conflict with the Asobo airport and if that is why I dont see any. Or perhaps iniBuilds forgot to include any GA parking spots.

    2. NZQN RNP (AR) RWY 05 is broken in the Fenix A320 only at this airport. Asobo scenery works fine. Keep this in mind.

    3. did anyone have same issue as me in this update 1.0.3 where the custom terminal building is conflicting with the auto generated terminal building

      1. Yes, I have the same issue. Not only with the iniBuilds addon but with the asobo handcraft airport too. Its seems that the last WU broke something in the area of Queenstown.

      Hi Guys! Ive noticed a patchy zigzag marks surrounding the whole airport perimeter. Like darker color than the normal terrain area. Is anyone experiencing the same after this updated? Pd I dont have ASOBO NZQN installed.

      1. That would be the old version of this airport. The one currently available cleaned up all terrain / photogrammetry / texture issues resulting from the NZ world update.

    5. Theses changes work for NZQN but will affect the new NZCH scenery from NZA Simulations. We have to wait for an update.

    6. Besides the identified ground texture issue with WUXII, this one also seems to mess up the new photogrammetry for Queenstown, as well as part of the terrain meshes. With it installed I had no photogrammetry all the way down to downtown (no buildings at all), and the mesh around the Skyline complex overlooking the city was all messed up. Uninstalling Inibuids and reinstalling Asobo’s handcrafted version fixed everything.

    7. this probably needs an update: a type of ground vehicle (telescopic lift) seems to have missing textures and and shows as pink chequered.. Asobo version was cleanly removed before

      1. Didn’t notice this on my install, but I had really bad stutters on final. I’ve never had stutters like this before in MSFS. (Before you ask, yes I had removed the Asobo version, I am not a noob)

    8. Beautiful indeed. Too bad no IFR, only RNAV (a challenging one with the Airbus). But that adds to the fun.

      1. There are RNAV and VOR Approach procedures, so you can even land on low visibility. If you can land only on ILS that is mean that you not know your plane well. Try to learn VOR, maby is challenging for the first time, but very satisfied

        1. First of all it doesn’t have VOR, only RNAV. The airbus LOC mode does not activate on RNAV so you have to descend manually using FPA descend mode, which is fine, but forget about low visibility landing in this case.

          Not to mention that IFR is always the recommended typical approach for the Airbus. Then turn off AP at 500 feet and land it manually.

          I’m talking about the approach being challenging because it has a last minute curve less than a mile from the runway.

          Don’t assume things about other people and say “you don’t know your plane well”.

            1. Yes i meant ILS. For some reason my browser doesn’t allow me to edit comments. Only can on mobile browser.

              1. I am literally looking at the Lido VOR DME B and VOR DME C charts for NZQN right now. It has a challanging figure 8 visual part after the VOR approach.

        2. I have flown all the available approaches fine with the WT systems. WT CJ4 and GA aircraft with G1000Nxi. But agree with you about the Airbus
