hi Chris,

great to hear from you!
Its a beautiful 6 degrees C here, not bad considering :) Guess its nice and 
warm over there in Australia?

Have seen your updates to the new airport....very nice indeed. I havent had 
much chance to get back inot developing scenery for NZ, the last one was 
Wellinton airport, its still un-textured and hiding on a hard drive 
somewhere....somewhere :)

The dev list is great but I cant understand half of waht they are on about 
so kept to this list.... it has been very quite, unitl someone started 
making Aussie scenery that is :) When can we expect it to be released to the 
masses?
Christchurch airport is undergoing some face lifts at the moment so I might 
actually have a crack at the one...that and its about 10 mins from where I 
live (actually Wigram airbase is about 2 mins from where I live also so that 
might be another  one to consider....its been closed down now so its 
unoperational but this is FG and anything goes...right?).

Well, am supposed to be working so better go and do something I guess :)

Stay in touch either via this list or private email....who knows it might 
actually kick some lift back into the list :)

slainte,

Andy

Ps. would be great to get together and work on something for FG...the 
interent is a great thing and now its getting quicker..well, for Aus anyway 
(mutter mutter, fibre optics, mutter mutter....)
