Christchurch, New Zealand. Tested with the orbx mesh but should work with the default (which is terrible and full of non existent hills).
This is an alternative to my earler scenery (https://flightsim.to/d/spas3man/christchurch-new-zealand). This has fewer buildings but they are much more detailed and I've added ones built since the earthquakes. This scenery will receive lots of updates over the coming year. I plan to add:
Hagley Oval
The old post office
City Council and Ecan
Spark, Vodafone, Westpac and BNZ offices.
The Strip
The Crossing and Ballantynes
The convention centre (that's going to be a challenging build!)
Just want to say thanks for the effort you put into this, even with photogrametry coming, its been brilliant for several years now, so thank you for supporting NZ flightsim.

Thanks, I am really looking forward to WU12. I can now just enjoy flying instead of spending hours modelling in sketchup.

I'm going to be cheeky and ask a silly question, now. Why do the ground texturea usually look so bad in scenery add-ons? Sort of undefined. Is there no way to provide "real" roads and verges, or is it just to darned difficult to do easily?
I think I've just answered my own question. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E11XsrBdzcg

Having been to Christchurch it is great to see someone improving the scenery. Is it possible to add the Christchurch Cable Car? Keep the improvements comings.

I'll have a look into this for the next release. At some point I want to redo the hospital amd add the new buildings. Maybe I'll add the helipad on the roof then.

Where is the unzipped file spas3man-scenery-christchurch? Previous versions have this file, this v1.3 does not have it, only the 4 files normally inside the unzipped spasman-scenery- christchurch file that is placed into the community folder.

Have made my own folder for the 4 files and placed it in the community folder. All okay.

Kia ora and thanks for your work. I got the 'file path to long' message when unzipping. So I unzipped to downloads and then copied to community file. But I don't think that has worked. Any suggestions?

There was a bad path in that upload. Please try the new one

Hi,
A couple of questions from beyond the ditch.
Is the transitional Cathedral modeled in this scenery?
And as they haven't finished rebuilding the old cathedral, have you got it modeled as is?
3 years ago
The cathedral is not being replaced, it is being restored. Currently its still standing but covered in scaffolding and plastic sheets. This mod contains a restored cathedral minus the tower which was demolished. When they rebuild the tower I'll put it back but that is 10ish years away.
