FSX Chatham Islands Scenery/Airport Upgrades

Chatham Islands terrain and airport upgrades refine the New Zealand archipelago in Microsoft Flight Simulator X with corrected coastlines, landclass, lakes, roads, and rivers matched to satellite imagery. It modernizes Chatham Islands/Tuuta (NZCI), adds Pitt Island (NZPI), and refreshes Napier (NZNR) aprons and terminal using enhanced stock objects for authentic Air Chathams operations.

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.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D scenery

  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

  2. Place scenery in Addon Scenery

    Create a folder under FSX\Addon Scenery\ containing scenery and texture sub-folders.

  3. Activate in Scenery Library

    In FSX, go to Settings → Scenery Library → Add Area. Higher priority means it overrides lower entries for the same location.

  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.
