Downloading... Can recommend the DVD "Windborn" depicting two gliders flying along the Milford Sound (totally unlandable territory, similar to Bella Coola, Canada.)Cheers,- jahman.

Fiordloand, which is the largest National Park in the country, has in most parts, never been explored. Also Jahman, you reminded me of a DVD called "Shadowlands" where a local heli pilot stuck a camera on the skids and filmed his flying over a 5 year period and edited it to a couple of hours i think,It is quite spectacular. Not sure if it can be purchased online (will need to google) but is certainly worth a look.Edit here is a glimpse of itCan be purchased herehttp://www.fiordlandhelicopters.co.nz/fiordland-cinema

For those of you who will be flying in this region maybe for the first time, here is some trivia you maybe interested in. Milford Sound which was named by a Welsh explorer who wrongly gave the tiltle "Sound", when in fact Miford is actually a Fijord. A Sound is formed by the ocean, where as a Fijord is formed by retreating glaciers. Most flights to and from Milford are based in Te Anau, 120Km's south of Milford, or Queenstown NZQN. Weather can change very quickly in this area, and can be blue skies, 5 mins later it could be snowing. So plan your flights carefully.And no, New Zealand is not a state of Australia. And we make better Fish n Chips. And we invented the Pavalova desert. We have more sheep than people and we have heard every sheep joke that was ever written.

The FTX NZ depiction of "Milford Fijord" is fantastic right down to the plume of smoke coming from the small building at the airport.

The Windborn DVD has the same shot going over the waterfall (but in a glider) as the preview video you posted at 1:46. That's a great shot!Cheers,- jahman.

yes, hats off to them. A masterpiece to be honest.

It is a great shot, I could imagine leaving my stomach behind if I was in the chopper, at least in a glider, you have time to take in the views.

I just woke up and began the download. It's a great day!

Received the e-mail in my inbox this morning.Downloading as we speak! :)

I've been waiting for this..... As a native of Greymouth ( on the west coast of the South Island,which is very rugged and mountainous) this is a must-have.I'm flying down there in 3 weeks time to see my mother, a long flight in a 772.Bruce (now in the Denver area)

Are all 4 seasons included?

You would leave your stomach behind if you saw how low the glider was over the lake that feeds the waterfall! :( Any idea where that waterfall is located on Google Maps? I tried looking for it but couldn't find it.

There's only one season in NZSI, and that's "when the sheep run scared".Cheers,- jahman.

Looks like Sutherland Falls near Milford. Which is the largest. having said that, there are 100's and I could be wrong. Durinng heavy rain ( rainfall is around 7 to 9 meters a year, second highest in the world) there are many spectacular waterfalls, and tree avalanches..There is no Sheep in Milford (too scared) Seriously, you won't find farm animals in Fiordland National park, sheep or cattle. The only thing that you can leave in the park is foot prints, and only take out memories.

No, you're right on, Sutherland Fall's the one! See.

"Sounds" like a place I'd like to visit...Cheers,- jahman.

Yes all four are there!

Having tried the scenery, I can tell you that Orbx has raised the bar again.Here is a video I found on their website
