If NZSI is the only orbx you have installed go to your FTX or ORBX control and set it to default then just delete all the orbx folder from your FSX.

Damn good question, I've just had a look at FTX Cental, the NZSI user guide, and had a look in the folders plus in the control panel / Programs and there is no uninstall for any Orbx products. Looks like you'll have to go on their forum sorry.
Takeoff's are optional. Landings are mandatory.

Actually, there's a lot more to it than Doug has posted. You would be mightly surprised at what Orbx fills up your FSX with.

If you really want to uninstall FTX from your system, follow Doug's uninstall guide here. I would also add that it is best to set everything back to default (Aero, Day/Night Lights back to Night) before beginning the uninstall.

Next, run separate searchs in your root FSX folder for: "Orbx", "FTX", "Avalon", "fx_HS_FSX_*" and "coff" (and/or "cof") (without the quotation marks smile.gif ). Also be on the look out for any Australian ICAO textures, specifically "YMML" and "YPMQ" (that is unless you happen to have these airports already installed, of course).

There is Orbx/FTX detritus in: Effects and Effects/Texture; Sound; Weather/Themes; and Scenery/Global/Scenery, Scenery/Global/Texture and Scenery/World/Scenery. Adds up to nearly a Gb worth to manually delete.

Just an FYI.
