Looks great, I'll definately have to get this one, I went camping there a couple of years ago, so will be interesting to see.

Well the website you reference was offline,so I don't know if I found the right island here, it's pretty much north out of Tauranga, and looks pretty good too B)

I didn't go there "before" so I don't know how much credit you take for the water and coast effects, which I thought quite special

[Timmo]

Yep thats the one:)
The coast/wave effects are due to the gradual blending of the photo away to nothing (i.e. there are waves on the photo which you can see in your screen shot near the coast)

[Charl]

Very skilfully done looks really great in the sim when you're flying and there is movement and reflection.

I know what I'm doing as soon as I get home Sunday night

Youve got to love the way you can merge hi-rez textures into standard textures in FSX, I have seen this done on a few things now, makes such a big difference when transitioning from add-on to default scenery areas.
