hey Ian, cool, let me know if you need any NZ scenery or a hand setting it up! have crafted a few smaller NZ airports in the world editor
takes a bit more work than MSFS tho i got it going pretty well, with VATSIM but still working on getting the latest New Zealand navigation FIXes into it, i think it's the deep end of the flight simulation pool (and over my head); what with FAA approval for training like
Microsoft ESP, blade element theory and laminar flow modelled over NACA airfoils, MTBF-based failures, and seems pretty solid in the simulation department with some scary weirdness in the flat spins but, i've not ever actually controlled a real-meat-flying aeroplane to compare :-)
