After World Update 12 I decided to move my VR flying to New Zealand. My goal is to discover the whole country and use only 3rd party/handcrafted airports for this. So, let’s get this story started.
I found a nice hangar at Wellington Airport (NZWN) to park my Kodiak 100. Now it’s time to set her up and start exploring.
The new home base of the Kodiak:
All preflight checks in the cockpit are done:
Let’s start the exterior walkaround on the left:
Flap and flap tracks looking good and meanwhile my wife decided to take a seat:

All exterior checks done, everything is tucked away and ready to shut the doors:
Note: All pictures come directly from the VR-Headset. They are only trimmed but no post processing is added. Sometimes the edges look a bit blurry, that’s because of the Fixed Foveated Rendering option of the OpenXR Toolkit and isn’t visible in the headset.
I’m not a real pilot and all my knowledge I learned by myself, but I try my best to follow all real procedures as good as possible. So, if you have tips or found some errors in my flights or procedures please let me know so I can get better.
