This project significantly updates New Zealand's Chatham Islands and includes more accurate coastlines, lakes, road and river data, as well as corrected landclass and a fully updated Chatham Islands/Tuuta Airport (NZCI). Napier (NZNR) aprons and terminal are also updated to more closely reflect the actual airport and accommodate Air Chathams, and the Pitt Island Airstrip (NZPI) is added to FSX. All updates were done in a manner which carefully aligned airport data with current satellite imagery. These airports are served by Air Chathams. Scenery was created using Airport Design Editor X v1.47.07, SBuilderX 3.13, and the FSX Object Placement Tool. Scenery objects were added and modified from stock FSX scenery to resemble as closely as possible the actual airports. By Carlyle Sharpe.
