One of the most spectacular photoreal sceneries in my P3Dv2.2 setup is the very recent added area of Christchurch. Hereby some views flying the 'as real as it can get' C172 from A2A:

Nice! That last shot shots where I spent my early years (including the location of the now long-gone house opposite the surf club, plus my grandma's house, and the Central New Brighton School).

New Brighton seems smaller than I remember it...

Hello Ian,
Thank you to let 'ring a bell' to me! I changed the scenery settings so the autogen can show up and the Christchurch area looks now so much better and my fps remained above 25. See the shots while flying in a Tiger Moth:

Looking at what you are flying you would be able to MAX out your sliders for even a better , go up to very dense.

As well as the place opposite the surf club, when I was a lad, my first wife and I lived in the house beside the workingmen's club when we first got married. So I've spent a lot of time on Brighton Beach! I can probably count a dozen girlfriends (and two wives) who lived within the screenshot areas...

Today I got around to processing the building footprints/vegetation data for Christchurch, and managed to recreate the autogen for east Christchurch in 52.4 seconds:) It's a pity there isn't more footprint data, as it really fills in the building autogen double-quick. Ideally, I'd like to keep Ian's trees, and combine with the footprint data.
