Martin's Bay lodge airstrip, for MSFS
Real place with ICAO code NZMJ.
Version 1.1
--Description--
Located 35km north of Milford Sound NZMF, Martin's Bay airstrip is a real life airstrip, used by the nearby lodge. Many trampers on the Hollyford Track stop here, and even take a short helicopter hop back to Milford Sound.
The gravel strip itself is quite narrow, and 500m long. A small airstrip is also found just north-west, can be used as well.
--The scene--
The scene is a rebuilt of the default airfield.
I used several default and custom assets and others from various libraries.
It has been developed using the Orbx NZ Mesh, so I can't guarantee its compatibility with the base mesh.
Work done:
- both airstrips, aprons and parking place recreation
- intensive adjustments of vegetation (the place was overgrown by bush and high trees, which is not the case IRL.)
- custom building rendering the beautiful lodge.
Note: better rendered with Bijan 4-seasons vegetation or even better with REX Accuseason (screenshots are actually with REX Accuseason).
--What's New--
v1.1
- added custom buildings
v1.0
- initial release
--Installation--
Please remove any previous version of this scenery you may have.
Just unzip and drop the "sbworks-airport-nzmj-martinsbaylodge" folder into your "Community" folder of MSFS.
It is more than strongly recommended to install this library:
- TSR Windy things
- SBworks Library v1.4 or later
- Boat static library
- Boat mobile library
--Credits--
All work done by SBWorks (Stéphane Beilliard).

Nice scenery, but its sunken in since WU12

Hi! Thanks! Yes, it's possible that it's no more compatible since WU12. Honestly, it seems the new World Update brings quite a good one so not sure I will maintain my version... :/

Hi. I'll investigate, but you are the only one reporting this so far. Please make sure you have no other addon loaded while testing the scenery and see if it still happens.

Hi, Is there a way i can remove the helicopter sitting at Martins Bay? I would like to land in this spot in my helicopter.
Thanks

Thank you so much for this! I do no0t know if you know, but this strip is part of the FS Academy VFR course, and the trees made it a very tricky landing, but for takeoff it was about 50/50 for me, riding the stall horn all the way up. So this is a big help! The added scenery is a very nice bonus indeed!

Cheers for taking over this project from me. My varient of NZMJ was a lot better untill SU5 broke custom textures for me, and never got around to fixing it.
You did it a lot better than I did.

That little XCub is as happy as I am every time you release one of these gorgeous airstrips of yours. I was flying around the area in yesterday's horrid stormy live weather, looking forward to going back in nicer weather to see what magic you pulled this time!
