Waypoint 23 sees us make a U turn around the green hill between the river braids (Mount Alfred) to track back towards Lake Wakatipu. A series of right-hand turns will line you up with the mouth of the Waiau River, which featured in Fellowship of the Ring as the Anduin River where Frodo and his companions paddle in boats on the way to Mordor. To begin with, depart from runway 26 at NZMO (Manapouri) and climb out towards Lake Manapouri. Cruising at an altitude of 4500 feet AMSL will keep your clear from terrain but also have you flying below the mountain tops for best immersion into the fantastical landscapes. It is suggested to set your sim date/time to either autumn or winter (May – August in NZ) and select setup your departure around 10.30am local time with a high layer of scattered cloud (20,000 feet base) for atmospheric mottled lighting along the flight. Whilst the movie trilogies were filmed over a wide variety of locations spanning the length and breadth of New Zealand, there are a cluster of well known sites around the Fiordland and Queenstown Lakes area that can be strung together into a route around some spectacular mountainscapes. Note that in addition to be available for purchase in various formats, “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” is also currently streaming on HBO Max (in both standard and extended versions).The idea for this tour came from the recent official MSFS 'Kiwi Magic’ Twitch stream where some of the participants expressed interest in a Lord of the Rings film location tour in the sim. In the NFTs, that’s all packaged up in one experience, along with the new AR collectible items (e.g., a magic wand) hidden throughout the different locations. The extended edition of “The Fellowship of the Ring” has been available in previous WB Home Entertainment releases, as has all eight hours of the bonus video content. Tolkien’s Middle-earth has been in the zeitgeist of late. The NFT drop of the movie also comes amid Amazon’s Prime Video release of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” series, so J.R.R. Schell called “The Fellowship of the Ring,” which premiered in 2001, an “evergreen” film with a passionate fanbase. “It lets fans experience the movie in a whole new way.” “First and foremost, we’re always looking at ways to delight and surprise our movie fans and collectors, and that’s especially true for ‘The Lord of the Rings,'” Schell said.
