We need a catchy project title. Personally, I'd favour Real Airports NZ, but that's out of the question as since that's too close to Robin's RealNZ airports. So let's share your favourte name ideas here and we'll do a poll in the end.

Virtual NZ (Abbreviated to VNZ). Highly predictable I know but someone had to say it!

Any more suggestions or should we hold a poll on these?

How about...

FreeNZ

It sums up the project quite nicely... ie. Freeware NZ Scenery... and it also sounds a bit like "friends" which sums up the project group quite nicely ;)

Maybe add things to it like "FreeNZ 4 FS" or "FreeNZ Scenery" etc. but personally I just like it as "FreeNZ"

ooops, now you wrote something. I don't like Virtual NZ anymore as that becomes VNZ, which really looks like poor copycat attempt on VOZ (which stands for vista australis, but nontheless - shudder).

How about something more original like

Airports for kiwis?
Flying in kiwiland?
or something with Aotearoa in it?

(I know I'm cr@p at names...)

Flightless Bird Scenery perhaps?

Land of the Long White Cloud (or brown desert if you're using FSX ;) sorry... could not resist! I'm sure once Timmo gets his vector landclass stuff sorted it will look much nicer :thumbup: )

Kiwiana?

Scenenz?

The Great Outdoors?

Bill and Teds Excellent Scenery?

Postcards from NZ?

Shaky Isles Scenery?

I could do this all day, but I actually have some work to do and its 4:50pm :ph43r:

It's a given that there's going to be a "NZ" in there somewhere, so why not just call it
FRENZY
and figure out what that means afterward??

What about Virtually New Zealand - VNZ

Shall we put a stop to this and create a vote, or does anyone still have great ideas?

Personally, my favourite is FANZ - Freeware All New Zealand, because FANZ is quite a catch acronym, but there where a few other very good suggestions.

How shall we do this 2 votes, first with all listed names, second to pick the winner from the top 3 from vote #1, or just do it one vote?

I would plan for 2 votes in the first instance. If it proves to be a whitewash (as the poll about the status of this forum did) we can always drop the second 'top 3' vote and have our name sorted.

Good thinking - I do like the FANZ - but Freaky is definitely catchy :)
