NZHTG Helicopter Training Ground v3 X-Plane 11.30+ is required! This is version 3.0, based on Hovercontrol's NZHTG version 2.0 (the original is available at https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/40018-helicopter-training-set/) It is a fictional airfield and Helicopter Training Ground located in New Zealand, roughly 25 kilometers down hwy 6 from the town of Fox Glacier (NZFH). This set is designed specifically for Helicopter pilots to be able to train and practice exercises that will help them become better rotary wing pilots. It is best used online with other pilots to coach you with tips. I highly recommend to use this scenery with Lyndiman's freeware ortho scenery, DazaXIII's awesome NZ sceneries and also you may want to use an overlay scenery, like Alpilotx's NZ Pro overlay. Lyndiman's NZ Ortho Photography set is available at https://lyndiman.com/lyndimans-new-zealand-ortho-photography-set/ Alpilotx's NZ Overlay is available at http://www.alpilotx.net/downloads/x-plane-10-new-zealand-pro/ DazaXIII's NZ sceneries are available at https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/profile/564549-dazaxiii/content/&type=downloads_file&change_section=1 Included starting locations: NZHTG - The airfield with a grass runway and three helipads. NZHTGS - A carrier, some frigates and several on-sea landing points, two helipads are available as starting positions (one on the carrier and one on a frigate). NZHTGC - A campsite near to the airfield with two helipads. Required libraries: Updated "Handy Objects" (https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/24261-the-handy-objects-library/) Updated "CDB Library" (https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/27907-cdb-library/) Updated "OpensceneryX" (https://www.opensceneryx.com) Updated "HungaryVFR Library" (https://github.com/nhadrian/X-plane_HungaryVFR/archive/HungaryVFR-Library.zip) Updated "MisterX Library" (https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/28167-misterx-library-and-static-aircraft-extension/) Hopefully all required libs are listed. Credits: Hovercontrol for the original scenery FlyAgi for the vegetation Chris for Sea Life Union Vogelhirsch for everything else Changes what I made: NZHTGS: The Carrier / Frigate now are seperate from NZHTG, has it's on ICAO code. Added some life to its surroundings. A lighting house with a helipad and an oil rig with its own helipad has been added. NZHTG: Fully reworked NZHTG airfield, lots of objects, buildings and vegetation. Relocated the training grounds so it will fit to the ortho scenery. FieldNoise integration, voice over instructions at the training grounds. NZHTGC: A campsite near to the airfield with a beauty view with two helipads. If you would like to donate you can by PayPal, or you can buy me a cofféé, thanks!

The Helicopter Museum and The Old Mixon Factory at Weston-super-Mare - With FieldNoise audioguide X-Plane 11.30+ is required! Scenery looks best with ORBX TrueEarth Great Britain South If you would like to donate you can by PayPal, or you can buy me a cofféé, thanks! Installation The zip file contains 2 folders, "Weston_Super_Mare_A_Scenery" and "Weston_Super_Mare_B_Roads". "Weston_Super_Mare_B_Roads" is only required and works only if you already have ORBX TrueEarth Great Britain South, this is a small patch scenery which fix a roundabout in front of the museum. If you don't have ORBX TrueEarth Great Britain South simply unzip "Weston_Super_Mare_A_Scenery" into X-Plane's Custom Scenery folder. For ORBX TrueEarth Great Britain South unzip "Weston_Super_Mare_B_Roads" also AND - REALLY IMPORTANT!!! - on Windows run the "run.cmd" file - this will make the required symlink. On OSX and Linux simply make a symlink to "Orbx_B_GB_South_TrueEarth_Overlay\roads", so "Orbx_B_GB_South_TrueEarth_Overlay\roads" points to "Weston_Super_Mare_B_Roads\roads". If you don't know how to make symlinks, simply copy the Orbx_B_GB_South_TrueEarth_Overlay\roads" folder into "Weston_Super_Mare_B_Roads" folder, so you will have "Weston_Super_Mare_B_Roads\roads". Included starting locations: XEGWT - The Helicopter Museum Required libraries: Updated "Handy Objects" (https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/24261-the-handy-objects-library/) Updated "CDB Library" (https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/27907-cdb-library/) Updated "OpensceneryX" (https://www.opensceneryx.com) Updated "HungaryVFR Library" (https://github.com/nhadrian/X-plane_HungaryVFR/archive/HungaryVFR-Library.zip) Updated "R2 Library" (http://r2.xpl.cz/) Updated "3D People Library" (https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/26611-3d-people-library/) Hopefully all required libs are listed. Landmarks: The Museum: The Helicopter Museum in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, England, is a museum featuring a collection of more than 80 helicopters and autogyros from around the world, both civilian and military. It is based on the south-eastern corner of the now-disused RAF Weston-super-Mare airfield. On the other side of the airfield is the former Old Mixon Bristol Aeroplane Factory which produced Bristol Helicopters like the Bristol Sycamore (first British Production Helicopter) and the Bristol Belvedere twin rotor RAF heavy lift transport helicopter. The Old Hangar: One of the old hangars at the old Weston-Super-Mare Airport which was constructed in the 1930s. The first schedueled services strarted in 1936. By 1938, a passenger terminal and administration building had been completed, along with a side opening hangar. On 2 January 1939, the Royal Air Force opened a School of Technical Training at RAF Locking, that did not have an airfield, but was only a mile from the Weston-super-Mare site. On the west of the airfield at Oldmixon, a factory was built by the Ministry of Aircraft Production to manufacture the Bristol Beaufighter, that were then flown out of the airfield. In 1955, the old Beaufighter factory at Oldmixon was converted for use by the Bristol Aeroplane Company Helicopter Division.n 1960, the factory was taken over by Westland, and served as a logistics supply station, until closure in 1987. The former Westland site, that closed in 2002, houses The Helicopter Museum. The Factory: The old Bristol Aeroplane and Westland Helicopters Factory which is known as the Old Mixon Factory. It produced and repaired planes and helicopters like the Bristol Beaufort, Beaufighter and Freighter planes and the Bristol Sycamore Helicopter. It was taken over by Westland Helicopters in the 1960s who used the factory for maintainance and repair work until the 1980s. Today much of the factory survives. Part of the factory is now used by GKN Aerospace for engineering services. Column Guided Gas Holder: A Column Guided Gas Holder which is part of the Weston-Super-Mare Gasworks which supply gas to the areas around the town. The Gas Holder whith the smaller one next to it dominate over the skyline around the railway station. They once had a railway line connection to them to supply them with coal which was then used to make gas but this became redundant when North Sea Gas became avaliable.
