I have been taking loads and loads of screenshots recently, and I have decided to conclude my weekends efforts with a collection of captures showing off some my New Zealand photoreal scenery.

My IFR flight today was from Christchurch (NZCH) to Auckland (NZAA) in the wonderful free iFDG Air New Zealand Airbus A320.

*** Warning! 11 pictures to follow totaling 1.28mb ***

1. Climbing above the terminal at Christchurch International

5. Cruising at FL300 with the back and front wings perfectly lined up for the camera ;)

Those are great screenshots and the photoreal scenery is very impressive - where did you get it from?

Thanks Jenks,

The Christchurch scenery is part of the old Godzone package (no longer available)

The Taranaki scenery is available free from avsim (see link in Scenery Forum)

And the Auckland scenery is payware by REALNZ (see link in Scenery Forum)

Is that Waikato the old Godzone scenery? If not, where can one get a hold of it?

No, it is the bottem of the REALNZ photoreal Auckland coverage, the original Godzone scenery is not as good quaility.
