This and my other airports are designed to make things to fit with the Lyndiman ortho. It’s good so it’s worth the effort of the download and you can find it here.

Video preview. NZFI at the start. NZPM from about 7:45
Another new airport and this one is NZPM Palmerston North. Firstly I must give a big thanks to org member damiancampbell. He lives close by and has been helping me with some local knowledge to improve the realism of all three of today’s airports but especially this one. He’s also made the windfarms so all the turbines on the range to the east of the airport are his work and it fits very nicely into the ortho. As for the airport, have a look at the photos and video and hopefully you’ll enjoy a few flights there as I think it looks pretty good.
Optional upgrade – The Lyndiman ortho tile is quite old and shows a lot of building work going on around the industrial area which isn’t there now. I’ve repainted that and also tidied up a few other things too and while you don’t need my repaint tile for anything to work, if you use the Lyndiman ortho then it will look much better if you do use it. Download from my usual upgrades folder (link below) and it’s the one called “NZPM Tile.” Install instructions are included

Libraries – Firstly, read the “Additional Libraries” bit below. Next, search google for “X Plane Master List” and download the lot of them. I haven’t used all of those libraries in this airport but by the time I finish with New Zealand I may well have done and with other people making nice scenery it’s just useful to have everything.
Additional Libraries.
I don’t think these are part of the master list so you also need this one

And this one but just the Overlay download part. You don’t need to touch the mesh part of the download if you don’t want to.

I’ve also started using a few trees from this library and it will probably get used a lot in future airports I make

Installation and Support - Usual stuff, download, unzip, put in Custom Scenery, moan at me if it doesn’t work. Note, I’ve now done lots of airports and it’s harder to keep track of things so if you post a comment and want a response I may miss it. So if I’ve not replied in a day or two then just send me a private message instead. I will notice those and I will always reply and try to help if I can.
Credits - Big thanks to Mr Lyndiman for the ortho, the various freeware library creators, Laminar Research, the creators of WED and Overlay, the permissions I’ve received from Robin Corn and Tim Barnes for their house objects, Royaloak, Lawrie Roache, Chris Norman, Vampire and Peter Lohr for airport modifications, Zlin142’s grass, MisterX‘s hangar, md500f and Ndorfn for the objects … and also thanks to coffee… especially the coffee.
Donations – I don’t have a lot of money but your donation probably isn’t going to be big enough to be life changing for me. So if you feel my efforts are worth a small reward then please give a donation to somebody like Cancer Research instead where your little bit of cash might end up being life changing for somebody else.
