I was doing Naiper and even had it layed down "until" last month i brought a new PC and burnt out now 3 hard drives which equaled 2500 gig of all my data 8 years of back ups which included everthing ive worked on or was working except my Hamilton Project ,though i nearly lost that to one morning .
After my stroke of bad luck over the last 3 months , i think ill look into it later once i have myself running again but its open area for anyone ,there is linz imagery source here in NZ which has naiper hastings right through to one corner of lake taupo ,3500 enclosed sq miles ,you will need some knowledge of GIS software ..

As mike mentioned, the aerials do exist for free so i'm sure it will only be a matter of time before it is converted smile.gif

I've been waiting for Napier stuff for a while too. Unfortunately, the LINZ stuff is ancient so I've been hoping someone would approach NCC or Regional Council to see if they would cough up some recent stuff (like, that has the Prebensen Drive extension in it at least) for cheap or free. The big prob with the old stuff is that it is missing a key feature just short of the south approach (34) of the runway - a major road extension called "Prebensen Drive". It's been there for a few year's now. However, anything 2004 or older doesn't even have the beginnings of the major roadworks that took place - works that radically altered the area which one has to fly over to land. Further, there is now a large housing development in that area called "Lagoon Farm" something-or-other, which has grown in leaps and bounds over the last 2-3 years. Call me picky, but if I'm gonna enjoy Napier photo-real, I'd like it to at least look like Napier today, not be a time-warp trip... winkyy.gif Know what I mean? Hence me not being in an overly large rush to have photo-real, knowing that much of the free stuff is just too old.

Not sure what age the stuff was that Mike was using. Eddy: what source imagery are you using, and how old is it?

There is some recent imagery available as part of KiwImage, but although this was touted as the replacement for the LINZ project, it seems to be next to impossible to get hold of any images.
But Hawkes Bay is pretty well covered.

Here's an interesting bit from the KiwImage site:

QUOTE
The New Zealand Defence Force(NZDF) are the custodians of the imagery on behalf of the agencies that have joined the project. To get access to the KiwImage products, you need to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the NZDF.[/quote]

Not quite the same as LINZ's great online images.

It's not what you think it is but the photoreal is just a background image to help me to design the AFCAD. So there won't be any high res image in my Napier AFCAD.

I got the image from SBuilderX using Google Maps so I have no idea how old it is.

EDIT:
Yay.

Have a look here Napier 2009 10cm per pixel

It's for sale at $0.56 to $6.40 per hectare so could end up being an expensive venture. Would be happy to lay it down if it's purchased.

FWTools.

Looked at the Napier 2009 link and croped the image surrounding the airport. Came up to about $920. No thanks. smile.gif

Yep, the purchase-able stuff is expensive, alright. I spoke to NZAM about their stuff - got up in to the thousands of $ for just the immediate Napier city / airport area. They weren't interested in any deals for free, give-away sim work... sad.gif

According to Google, that particular tile is Jan 2005. The one south of it is July 2009.

Ok, I'm planning to make this Napier scenery a free FSX project.

This will include photoreal coverage from Napier to Hastings, autogen and a highly detailed AFCAD with all the fancy taxilines etc.

If anyone can help that will be very great. smile.gif

Eddy- Have a look on Koordinates.com as I think Napier is covered with a free LINZ aerial (slightly lower res but still fine for FSX)

Cheers

Thanks for that but I'm already using LINZ aerial for big photoreal coverage. smile.gif

My undertstanding is that the HB Scenery on Google Maps is from around 2005.

Somehow, Microsoft Bing has been able to get their hands on the latest sets, especially for Napier City. So, these are about a year old.
