Availability of FS9 sceneries

[ematheson]

I see that most mention of FS9 is removed from the Godzone VF store. I am aware that lately, FS9 has hardly been a profitable business, so I'm not complaining. I just want to know, though, if (for those sceneries where FS9 versions exist) the FS9 version is included in the FSX purchase. I'm considering seriously purchasing the "Southern Lakes Adventure" and the "Real NZ Rotorua & Tauranga" products and would like to be aware so I don't spend money on a sim that I don't use (FSX).
(Which reminds me, by the way, to thank you for the wonderful gift of "Supercity: Auckland City" and "Across the Strait" a couple years ago as freeware for FS9. They're beautiful sceneries and are my bases of operation in NZ (I tend to spend most on my NZ flight time on the North Island as a result.))

These are no longer included with the FSX versions. I did offer a FS2004 compilation disc for a while, but it wasn't popular. I had planned to put all the FS2004 stuff on Avsim, but I did strike a snag with the first few (Auckland, Wellington, Marlborough) -- since I don't have FS2004 working, it is tricky to deal with support issues. I ended up spending a lot of time searching NZFF whenever someone had a problem, in the hope that it had been dealt with before! It's amazing how much you forget over the years...

Wanaka/Tekapo* and Rotorua/Tauranga are freeware though, I just haven't uploaded them. I'd quite like to upload them 'as-is', but the usual file libraries require a certain level of support which I just can't give.

*Supercity and Southern Lakes are definitely FSX-only -- FS2004 had Real NZ Auckland City and Real NZ Wanaka/Tekapo, which are different.

I'll give it some thought to what the options are, sorry, that's all I can do at the moment.

Annoying innit? You get everything customised and the next time you can't remember how you did it.

Thanks for letting me know. I do hope you can figure out the details! You could simply state in the readme that no support will be provided and leave it at that, but I suppose there are too many that don't RTM. Perhaps you could release them to only a couple places like Manfred Jahn has done with his new C-47?

Yes, and every time I do it, I promise faithfully to write out a change log for every addon or tweak
