Any NZ-based websites/shops that sell FS aircraft?

I'm looking to get started in the payware scene of FS, just wondering if there are any Kiwi-based establishments (websites or physical shops) that sell payware aircraft?

Cheers, Brock

Hi Brock,

As far as kiwi websites, I only know of the down-under pilot shop: www.downunderpilotshop.co.nz

They sell a lot of joysticks, yokes and peddles and hardware accessories and I think they might do a few PMDG aircraft too.

I get all my payware stuff from simmarket.com via download, or windowlight.co.nz which is the main kiwi payware scenery manufacturer. geographx.co.nz is another kiwi online retailer.

Hope this helps!

Cheers Andrew. I'm going to get the Red Baron NZ Topo soon, however I'm also looking for some GA craft.

I'd already been through the downunder pilot shop, and I only found the PMDG 747.

Be carefull with places like GP Store etc, youll end up paying alot more for boxed add-ons through these guys than you would via download, or even buying it in from overseas.

I reckon paying $20-$30 for 1 payware aircraft is too expensive it in my opinion is still on the steep side for multiple aircraft.

I made this topic a while ago because I was new to using credit cards over the internet, I've found it easier to just plunge in to an online site and grab a download version.

i usually do my shopping at simmarket.com - it's in euros so maybe a bit expensive in NZ$ but you can use paypal and the system is very good in my opinion.

I favour Flight 1 - good for us dial up users as I can down load it before paying
