The Great Christchurch Rebuild , A freeware built on a photo of Christchurch City previous to Earthquakes that hit my City 18 months back ,
and now we a rebuilding the area with accurately placed autogen that you could use it as a road map . WIP :wavey:

or the people who have the Christchurch/Canterbury photo scenery This covers the area and still a WIP
Complete file covering the photo currently supplied on http://fs-snowman.com/ ... http://fs-snowman.com/index.php?ind=downlo...ew&iden=321
Also includes Doug's roof texture fix . Those very small files put into the Scenery folder .
The other files , AGNs simply drop them into your Christchurch FSX texture folder .

All AGN updates will be posted here as the city gradually rebuilds . Many districts and regional farms including the small towns still require work .

For those who fly in regular , the airports are open , Wigram is to be kept open to keep with the photo and off course the photo is pre earthquake , it will be a little silly to try and rebuild AGNs and a town that is no more until work and construction shows any sign , Rob has his hands on models that will rebuild CHCH again pre EQ . We will see how that will fit in .

The file works fine with both VLC and ORBX NZSI .. recommend ORBX NZSI due to the static photo texture .

A snippet in around the Memorial Avenue heading towards the city , maybe a edit for the Ave defining it better , course move into the city center with a pre
Earthquake build ... course looking at a Lyttleton Harbour rebuild ... so best keep tune in for updates . Its a Snazzy project ! Christchurch Rebuild !

Very impressive Ian, now that is the way to build scenery. Anxious to see more updates of your progress. Thanks for posting.
 
Thanks Stovall , as we put it together it will be based around the city of old simply due to huge areas bulldozed , very fitting to build a retro city as its going to many many years before it shows any sign of a rebuilt city .
 
Looking very good!

Does this relate to any further development of Christchurch airport proper?
We've had either the default or variations maintaining many of the default buildings for years now. It would be great to see a new major airport out of this!
 
Sean , is going have a new airport to match the real new :icon_lol: Airport , obviously going to take a little time since still in finishing stages , but existing features such as the US Navy / USAF base and surrounds are getting worked on currently .
 
Good luck with this rebuild, I know your work from years past and know that you and your mates will do an excellent job. Best of the best Ian, and glad you made it through the last shaking, Don

Need to ask this question. Will it blend with the ORBX NZSI?
Click to expand...

Yes indeed it blends in very well , the photo is to be update little extra later , the big job is repairing the AGNs .... there will be a further update this weekend , like you Aussieman , we are already in the 31st of March :icon_lol:
 
Nice indeed! My gal and I were there just a couple of weeks ago. Pleased to see especially the amount of general aviation.

Cheers: Tom
 
It's good to see someone else spending the time (lots of it) placing accurate autogen. There are so many free and pay photo sceneries that might look pretty, but they're just a picture draped over mesh. Without something representing the buildings, photo scenery looks flat. Nice job. It's looking very sharp.
 
Wish I'd had that to figure out how to get through the first two traffic circles! It is quite accurate, amazingly so.

Moving into Hillmorton and Hoonhay .

You may be able to see the township , an agricutral university called Lincoln in the distance , that is ORBX NZSI , a very smooth blend so far .
