I've only just found the time to check this out, and it works very well. The few CBD buildings which MS have included are doubled up, of course, because I'd need to exclude them, but apart from that I'm very pleased with the way it looks. Old FS9 autogen performs a lot better so photoreal areas are still flyable at the highest autogen setting.
However, to get the water to look like this means lowering performance to the extent that I couldn't fly.

The 3rd and 5th shot looks stunning, the rest are not as good as FS9 in my opinion.

Does this mean Auckland City will be rereleased on FSX? At a discount to fs2004 version owners...?

The beta is missing the ability to tweak the sharpness of these textures, but it should be possible in the final release.

No, it means that this is pretty much ready to drop into FSX as is.

Are you going to be adding a new airport in for NZAA?

Yeah, as I said I haven't had time to remove one set of buildings, so a few are doubled up.
