Check this out..must be one of the nicest looking a/c for Xplane Ive seen - if there were a few more a/c (and scenery) Xplane may be just worth checking out.......

I have been considering dabling in X-plane. Is there a stockist in NZ or do you have to order it from overseas?

Its Great. Not getting into another MSFS vs X-Plane Debate but you will either love it or hate it... Most people who hate it are the ones that think its fun to have a program to fly planes that they will understand when they first pick it up but if you have a week to learn the ins and outs of the sim. But seeing as your a real pilot (or your sig looks like it) you will probably like it. Download the Demo here. It will only give you ten mins to fly around but its a full representation of what X-Plane looks like except for the fact that X-Plane only has one airport with airport buildings. But it has all the ground layout of every airport basically in existence all around the world something like 2000 airports more than FSX has...

And there's scenery packages for a huge amount of airports at X-Plane.org. You can also use FSX and FS9 custom scenery packages (ones with custom objects and not just bgl files) and convert them to X-Plane using a simple 'wheres the MSFS package' and 'wheres the custom scenery X-Plane folder' and you hit convert

Just a tid bit of info smile.gif
