Posted: Mon Nov 09, 2009 3:11 pmSome people (locals, mainly) may want to look at extending this scenery to include their local landmarks, or making some other additions to the scenery based on their personal knowledge of the area. You are very welcome to do so, and this topic is designed to track and distribute any additions which may become available.
If you wish to make any additions, please contact me and I'll let you know what tools you will need. Be aware that if you decide to update any autogen, it is not as simple as loading the included aerial photo into Annotator -- since the Annotator saves ALL tiles no matter what changes you make, it is not a good idea to have more than one person updating the whole image. However I can supply a local aerial image of your area of interest, which will allow you to upload only the changed autogen. This is a bit tricky, but once you get the hang of it, you can make whatever changes you wish.
In the meantime, to get things started, here's an 'extra' which adds some detail to the Supercity scenery.
Ron Watson has produced a great model of some Manukau City landmarks. These were originally designed for FS2004, but work very well in FSX. The file is available for download from Flightsim.com
