Long shot -- Mike's TaupoX for FSX

Someone over at Avsim asked about this scenery, which is no longer available. I know that this was originally payware, then freeware, I just want to know if anyone has to talked to Mike about this, or has the freeware version and can check the EULA -- I have it installed, but there's definitely a 'no share' in the EULA I have.

Rob - this post appeared in the SOH Forum back in 2013, but the link no longer works.
https://sim-outhouse.org/sohforums/thre ... 4883/Taupo
SOH has been transferring their libraries to their new server, so it may be that these ones just haven't made it yet, but that is a faint hope. I think it more likely they have been discarded.
I also found this link to mega.nz, HamiltonX NZHN ex FSCreations payware on https://www.freewarescenery.com/fsx/newzealand.html but the partner link for Taupo just throws an error message. The HamiltonX zip has a EULA the same as the Taupo one I have.
The file you are trying to download is no longer available
This could be due to the following reasons:
The file has been removed as it violated our Terms of Service.
Invalid URL - the link you are trying to access does not exist.
The file has been deleted by the user.

Mike appears to have posted about this way back in July 2018 in this NZFF Topic link which he uploaded to the defunct mega.nz site as mentioned above FSCreations HamiltonX and TaupoX

Cheers, Radar, that's certainly a winner. Although I don't have the installer, I'll bundle up the scenery and put it somewhere for the Avsim poster.

I have both Mike's Hamilton and Toupo plus his NZMO_NZMC_NZCI_NZMF loaded on Mega.
I have just sent Mike an email asking if it is OK to distribute them to anyone wanting them.

Hey good thank you Doug and hoping the same for you, yes I'm more than happy to give you or anyone permissions to re-upload any scenery I made or gave you personally, you can add a new Eula with this permission and consent from me and no copyright action will be taken.
I do still have all files from those days so if there is anything more I'm still able to help in someway don't hesitate to reach out.
Mike.
