WELCOME TO HAMILTON AIRPORT!

Yes, the 4-year wait for a high-quality Hamilton Airport is finally over. I have gone all out on this one and poured over 150 hours of meticulous work into this. I have created the airport and all the scenery around it in painstaking detail based on aerial photography and airport charts from 2023.

Before you read on to see what is included in the release version, please take a moment to read this IMPORTANT NOTE below...

IMPORTANT - READ THIS!!

I have activated the ATC and Ground control frequencies for this airport. There are 2 reasons for this.

Operational documentation that I have read, including on VATNZ, refers to NZHN_TWR - Hamilton Tower on frequency 126.800 There is a Control Tower on the west GA side of the airfield run by Airways, so I have reproduced it and turned that sucker on. Therefore you can call up Ground Control and ATC as per normal for arrivals/departures. However, if you use Navigraph and have installed the Navigraph AIRAC database into the sim it will REMOVE the frequencies and revert the airport back to the stock, uncontrolled airport. I have no control over this behaviour.

So if you have Navigraph installed, the workaround is to remove the Navigraph AIRAC Cycle from MSFS via the Navigraph Hub app. It is super quick and easy to remove/reinstall it. Doing so will revert MSFS back to whatever AIRAC it is using. So don't forget you did this as you will probably want the latest Navigraph AIRAC reinstalled for for future flight planning via the Navigraph Charts App. BTW Little Navmap will use whatever is installed so it doesn't care.

Or Navigraph users can just ignore all of this, keep things how they are and fly without the ATC. It will have no impact on the scenery.

This is the most complex work I have done so far, so if you find anything that needs attention please comment below and attach screenshots to the user gallery of this upload if it will help me fix it. Cheers, -=CoolGunS=-

Tip: Don't forget to reload your Little Navmap scenery library now and then in order to keep your new airfields accurately portrayed within it. This way all your new taxiway designations are updated among other things.

LNM automatically searches through your community folder during the process which runs in the background so you can keep simming.

From the menu bar of LNM: Scenery Library | Load Scenery Library | press Load. When finished, press Use Database.

Enjoy.
