After exactly one year of intense work, the day has finally arrived!
The completely rebuilt, definitive version of Wanaka is now live and available for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
This is not an update… it’s a 100% ground-up remake using every new tool and technique MSFS 2024 gives us. The difference is night and day.
Official Launch Trailer (watch in 4K with sound on!):
Key Highlights

Over 5,000 km² of hand-crafted Southern Alps terrain

Completely remade NZWF Wanaka Airport with our new tarmac displacement technology and full PBR
Every single custom 3D model rebuilt from scratch + heavily optimised LODs → buttery-smooth performance in MSFS 2024

A huge thank you to this incredible community for the patience and support over the past 12 months. Seeing your screenshots and videos of the original release is exactly what kept the fire burning to make this v2.0 something truly special.
Wanaka is back… and it has never looked this good.
Happy landings & happy hiking,
