FSX Christchurch Airport Scenery

[Adrian Brausch]

what is in your opinions the best FSX Christchurch Airport addon scenery as I am still using the default nasy scenery and would very much like to replace it !

[Nzeddy]

There's none atm.

Robin is making RealNZ NZCH.

Adrian , Currently dont have an airport yet , dont use the NZscenery version , consider that as bad as default , working on autogenning the area since cant really photo the airport in it state , like a bomb hit it .. construction fencing all round - the old tower is now disused replaced with another in the carpark ..hangers gone carpark building in the carpark , hell of a mess .

thanks guys...bummer. Ian,..I have played around with your FS9 NZCH removing all the excl. files and redid the AFD file using the FSX planner airport tool putting in an exclude area to get rid of any default buildings and its looking promising except for some weird shading on some objects and the trees you included with the scenery. If those trees were removed it will be looking nice,...any chance you might find time in your busy scedule to yank em out and recompile at some stage ?

[Ian Warren]

Id have to find the source file s , i no i lost a lot but would be best to start over again .

I have just updated my FlightSim page which does have many updated Airports including NZCH.

http://flightsim.zl3gp.co.nz

There is also a file with all the NZ Lighthouses

And a file that fixes the scenery at Milford Sound - (sortof!)

All free to use.
Cheers
Philip

Don this is more the way you would have seen it , old but a goody and shown before, Christchurch International 1966

in the background is the hanger built in 1959 for the US Navy, your Connie was parked up over there .

[madkudu]

Yep, thats how it was in 1966...and now it looks a bit like this....according to Google:




So yes it has changed a little bit...

Cheers, Jimmy.

P.S, Rob, when you do do NZCH ( ), please dont base it on google earth images
(hope it doesnt breach any copyright stuff)

[leow5263]

lol yeah that happens to me to, when im using the google flight sim its a tight turn

[Ian Warren]

Arrrr ! so thats what they mean by putting the aircraft in a racetrack pattern ... now thru the chaceane and back on to the straight ... going to be tight on the hairpin

Thanks Ian, I like the old ones better. By the way if you look really close, at the Navy hanger, right by the door, you can see me waving at you and your dad!

Ah yes, they found that sacred twig and had to reroute the runway. This is the main reason the 380 hasn't been there, it has yet to show the agility to make the two corners.

They've also found that they no longer need police to ensure the planes are not breaking the speed limit by placing the chicane there as well.

It was a real win win situation.

[Kiwia1spad]

Ian, this is the version of NZCH id like to see... that and a similar era Wigram with harvards in the pattern and heading off to training areas

[Ian Warren]

I know the above photo posted by .Madkudu. is horribly wrong .. google earth had not been invented in 1966 ... yeah yeah! bubble stirrer

[cowpatz]

Those damn Taniwha's. They take a lot of dollars to be encouraged to move on

[Ian Warren]

Christchurch International Been there done that , Mentioned and pointed out already done the photo s, ... today I tried to re-install my payware AFX "FLIGHT ONE" wrappers .. most have moved away using it, I hate the bloody things ... but AFX is a good returning start to airport build !
