Thanks for the reply. I have already uninstallled the Orbx NZ Mesh now, so there’s nothing in my Community folder. That allowed me to take off from Milford Sound, but the entire bay (as far as the open ocean) is covered with snow. That wasn’t the case 6 months ago, but maybe a weather update caused that.
The scenery on the other side of the fjordland (the lakes towards Queenstown) is great, but this west coast is not worth simming at present.
