Hi,
I'm currently about a third of the way through a world tour in FS2004 using PMDG's B1900D. I'm currently making my way through South America and hope to island-hop across the Pacific towards New Zealand. I'm trying to visit places with really good freeware scenery available and I know there's a stack of scenery for New Zealand but I've noticed some of the links on this site no longer work. So I am after some ideas of a mesh and some airports that are really worth seeing. I am looking forward to exploring the mountains on the south island and hopefully by the time I get there it'll be summertime and I'll have some good weather. You can keep an eye out on my progress here -----> FS9 World Tour I'll post the NZ legs up here when I eventually get there! Thanks. -------------------- |

FS9 caters extremely well for NZ visitors.
Get this from Flightsim.com and work through the links, should keep you occupied for a bit: FS2004 (ACOF) - Misc. FS2004 Google Earth Scenery Database for New Zealand Name: nzfs9f.zip FS2004 Google Earth Scenery Database for New Zealand - Final. This is a .kmz file showing most of the FS2004 sceneries available for NZ (75 or so). Just double-click on the file and they should show up in Google Earth. Airports are categorised, so you can accurately filter by airport type. Download links are provided for each, as well as a link to a screen shot. And WobblyBob, we have just the city for you, down south... -------------------- ___________________________

Great, thanks.
I'll have a look and plan my trip! Looks like there's quite a bit to get through, not to mention your cryptic clue at the end, I'm off to Google Maps right now to have a look! WB -------------------- |
