Timmo started something similar for FSX IIR, can't recall how far it went.
Anyhow, rather than just grumping on in the forums I thought something like this might be of value to those wanting to fly FS9 in NZ.
It's just a Google Earth kml file with clickable links to the file source.
Makes it easy for someone starting out in NZ, or someone who's forgotten what's where!
I have split the sceneries into

Photoreal area scenery
Scheduled-service airports
Local Airports
Military Airports

Any further suggestions are welcome at this stage...

Hardly scratched the surface, but I am reminded why NZ has been regarded as one of the best FS environs...

Can't find links for
Turangi Photoreal
NZTN Turangi airport
NZPP Paraparaumu

Anyone know of a home for these?

Charl , Wigram Reopen for Flight Sim , never ever close that , our first international airport .

Done!

Actually it's a great resource in FS.
One of the many AI packages I concocted for a Wanaka airshow needed a source airport which wouldn't make a mess of scheduled WOAI GNZLAP and VOZ traffic with scads of Mustangs and such.
Guess what?
At certain times of the year, a stroll on the grass of my FS9 WCdr Warren Wigram scenery would bring a tear to a Warbird enthusiast's eye.

That's a brilliant idea, Charl!

Guess why I hardly ever leave your splendid hemisphere (replacing it by the pacific Northwest)!

Cheers from Western Siberia,

Looking good Charl! Robin's excellent work on NZPP is here for FS2004: here

For those wanting FSX version, it's at avsim: nzppinstall.zip

Thanks Alister - I have it on my HDD of course, but couldn't remember where I got it!
It's a very good (=better than the FSX version!) scenery because it picked up a little more hi-res photoreal.

Markus - it is a good idea, and I pinched it from Nick Schreger and Soren Mathiesen who used it for the AES-equipped airports!
And while you are visiting here, my favourite flying is in the blizzards and snow: Tolmachevo.
Now that truly is "Siberia", and a long way from Berlin!

I've decided to add a layer: International airports.
Forgot that Hamz is one, can't think of any more.

Rotorua is international now too, direct to Sydney

And Dunedin still has Sydney and Brisbane flights.
