Christchurch International Airport (NZCH) is the main South Island airport, the second-biggest in New Zealand after Auckland. This scenery includes a large area of photoscenery depicting the city of Christchurch, and a large section of Canterbury between the Ashley and Rakaia rivers, including Banks Peninsula.

Very nice result for the second busiest airport of NZ. You have the option to install the airport only, or it's surroundings as well. Fits in well with ORBX. SODE work great, night lighting is beautiful. Always lovely and relaxing to fly in NZ. The dev is also very fast at replying and willing to help!
2 Sterne Abzug weil:
Der Installer V1.10 meint zur P3Dv5 Version hat man die Möglichkeit zur freien Wahl des Installationsodners, installiert dennoch fix in C:\Programme\Godzone.
Das ist absolutes NOGO.
Szenerie ansich ist sehr gut gelungen, kann man empfehlen.
A nice scenery with good framerates from one of the most decent and helpful developers in the market. As the second most important airport in New Zealand fills a major gap - even more importantly so as it seems unlikely we will see a dedicated Auckland.
Can be installed as airport only, but also the full installation with photoscenery blends well with Orbx NZ South.
Please note, that as stated in the specifications, this version installs ONLY on P3D.
Amazing job from Godzone VF! This scenery looks great and the performance is also good. A must have scenery for everyone who loves to fly to New Zealand.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
This airport is so long overdue. Excellent representation of NZCH and surrounding area. Very detailed (and future proofed - showing the city's iconic Cathedral already repaired after the damage sustained in the 2011 earthquake). Very easy going on frame rates too. If you haven't done much virtual flying in NZ, then combine this with the stunning ORBX NZ sceneries and prepare to be dazzled.
This is also a great companion scenery for those who have Aerosoft's Antarctica X, as this is where the vast majority of the US Antarctic Program flights depart from.
